Alberto Gilardino has revealed that he is having problems playing next to Filippo Inzaghi, as the two strikers are too similar.
The Rossoneri hitman has not scored for his club for some six months and he is receiving major criticism from the Italian media, despite having the backing of both Carlo Ancelotti and Roberto Donadoni.
“It isn’t easy for me to play next to Inzaghi, we are two lone strikers and we often move in a similar way, ending up in the same position,†said Gilardino.
“We have to adapt to playing together and the only way we can do that is working hard during our training sessions.
“We are not going through a good period as a team. As to myself, I am playing in a very different system from the one I was used to in Parma, I have to play more for group.
“I know I must concentrate on the team and I shouldn’t worry about scoring, if I only focus on my goal drought it will be even harder to find the net,†concluded the 24-year-old.
Milan will travel to Chievo for the midweek Serie A round, before the weekend’s big match against Inter.
