Juventus midfielder Aaron Ramsey: Serie A very different to Premier League

Juventus midfielder Aaron Ramsey has revealed that the Serie A is more tactical than the Premier League.

Ramsey swapped Arsenal for Juventus last summer after the Gunners allowed him to run his contract down, leaving on a free transfer.

“It's different from what I'm used to," he told .

“Even though last season under Unai Emery was going through a lot of things on pictures as well for tactical reasons, Sarri does like to go over things very thoroughly.

“Tactics here, especially in Italy, are such a big thing. Most days, we'll be doing some sort of tactical work in preparation for the next game.

“The Premier League is more end-to-end. There's a bit more freedom to attack and probably more spaces to exploit there.

“Whereas over here a lot of teams, especially against the bigger sides, drop a lot deeper into a low block and encourage you to come and break them down.

“You have to be a lot more patient, try to move the ball quicker in certain areas to encourage somebody slightly out of position."
