Milan assistant Marco Landucci: “Serie A most difficult league in the world” | OneFootball

Following Milan’s 1-0 defeat at the hands of Parma, assistant manager Marco Landucci offered his assessment of the performance, emphasizing the grueling nature of the domestic campaign.

While speaking to the press, Landucci maintains that the Rossoneri were on the receiving end of some misfortune during the contest. He insisted that the level of competition in Italy remains the highest of any top-flight division, noting the difficulty in securing points even when the performance is present.

He said – relayed by Gazzetta: “With this attitude, we’ve picked up a lot of points. Then, when you don’t score and get a result, everything you do is wrong. I think the attitude was the right one. Parma were very good, aggressive with every ball. We were unlucky too, but that’s football.”

The Italian was also asked about why Milan have dropped a lot of points against the lesser sides in the division.

He said: “So many points dropped against the ‘smaller’ teams? The Italian league is very difficult: every match has its pitfalls and there’s a lot of balance. I think it’s the most difficult in the world.”

“Tonight we tried to give our best and we didn’t succeed. We’ll start again on Tuesday and think about the next match. There are games that don’t go so well. Today, Gabbia got injured in the warm-up, and Loftus too: it was a bit of an unusual evening.”

Despite the result, Landucci defended the effort of the squad, pointing to the woodwork and missed opportunities as the deciding factors in a league where tactical discipline and clinical finishing are paramount.
