AC Milan midfielder reflected on what has been a terrible week for Italian football by admitting that the Premiership is way ahead of Serie A now. Juventus, Roma and Inter Milan were all knocked out of the Champions League this week while all 4 of the English teams successfully moved into the quarter finals. AC Milan themselves were knocked out of the Uefa cup only a few weeks ago.
“Finance of course can make a difference but I also think we have to be criticising ourselves,”
“At the end, I also think it is about management and building the right projects so you can be competitive. I think in Italy that is what is lacking.
“I think the English teams have sufficient team structures.
“They’ve been buying the right players and even from a younger age they are now popping up.
“For example, if you look at Cristiano Ronaldo he was in Manchester when he was 17 or 18 and now he’s one of the best players in the world. He makes the difference to their squad.
“It’s not all about money, but of course it’s important.”
