AC Milan striker Piatek: I know it's a problem when the main centre-forward isn't scoring

AC Milan striker Krzysztof Piatek is happy with his current form.

The Pole is back amongst the goals after a difficult season so far.

"I realised that it can be a problem for the fans and the club when the main centre-forward is in bad shape, but I try to think positive, work hard and do well," Piatek told Sky Sport Italia.

“Perhaps I made some mistakes during pre-season training. In the first few games, I didn't feel right physically, I wasn't sharp. I felt my legs were heavy and I lacked energy. It was a real problem, but I feel much better now.

“I play with the team, fight hard and recover the ball. This is the real Piatek and I want to keep getting stronger. I know that I scored more last season, but I know that when I hit form, I can score six or seven in just a handful of games."
