Inter won on Monday evening with goals from Carlos Augusto and Marcus Thuram.
Cesc later said: “It all comes down to small details, they had to break the deadlock from a set game and I don't think Inter expected Como to be so positive without the ball.
“However, we need to do much better with the ball and today I got a good idea of who has my style of football in their blood and who doesn't.
“I don't remember Inter doing anything in the first half. We had situations where Strefezza should have crossed quickly and not taken an extra ball, Nico Paz on his own, Fadera was two against one twice…
“A lot of others also didn't have the right character to go there, be aggressive and get the ball into the penalty area quickly. Da Cunha, however, I take my hat off to him because this is what I want, a team that plays without fear.
“I'm angry because we felt in the stadium that we could have hurt them, but we didn't. I want players with character.”
He also said: “We saw Arsenal struggle and lose here, we saw Atalanta concede four goals here, so this is one of the three best teams in Europe at the moment.
“With that in mind, I expected us to be more effective and not give the ball away so cheaply. After this performance and the one against Roma, these are two positive games that we can only build on.”
