New AC Milan coach Giampaolo admits changing Gattuso system

New AC Milan coach Marco Giampaolo has spoken of the adjustments he's made since replacing Rino Gattuso.

Giampaolo changed the system to 4-3-1-2, but also focused more on passing, possession and being proactive.

He said, “We are working on macro-principles right now, then we need to get into the details. The games we play in this pre-season tour will give us information on what we need to go into more deeply.

“I know where we want to go to reach my vision, mentality and attitude, so I realise there's a lot of work ahead of us. Time is not on our side and we are missing several key figures at the moment, so I thank Fabio Borini for being available to try a new midfield role.

“It's a long construction process, but we have laid down the blueprint. We must all share an idea that can take us towards important results together."
