AC Milan fullback Ricardo Rodriguez admits he's battled to adjust to Serie A football.

The Swiss joined in the summer from Wolfsburg.

“I haven't been here long, but I can say that Italian football is very difficult," Rodriguez explained.

“Because the teams are all compact and organised, it's difficult to score in Italy. In Germany you play more openly.

“Training? I think it was actually tougher in Germany, especially at the start. As soon as I moved from Switzerland to Wolfsburg I had a very tough Coach [Magath].

“From that point of view, it was the hardest training I've ever done in my career."
