Krzysztof Piatek Reveals the Causes of this Season’s Deterioration

DBasia.news –  Krzysztof Piatek was a phenomenon on the Serie A stage last season. Sticking with Genoa, he was then recruited by AC Milan in the middle of the season. In total, he packed 22 goals throughout 2018-19. However, this season, he was sluggish. Up to 12 giornata, only three goals were scored.

The change of coach from Gennaro Gattuso to Marco Giampaolo and now Stefano Pioli did not make a good impact for Krzysztof Piatek. Strictly speaking, he acknowledged the change of coach which also meant that the change in the style of play was a factor in his decline.

“There is so much instability in the club. That has affected the players. From the start, we couldn’t make enough opportunities. In fact, as you know, strikers need opportunities to be able to score goals,” Krzysztof Piatek told TVP Sport as quoted by La Gazzetta dello Sport.

However, the 24-year-old striker remains optimistic. He feels AC Milan is getting better with Stefano Pioli. That made him sure his sharpness would return soon. “Right now, things have started to improve and it seems like it’s only a matter of time for me to start scoring again,” he said.

Krzysztof Piatek also acknowledged the heavy pressure from the Italian media. However, he considered this is not a factor that makes it difficult for him to score goals for AC Milan this season.

“Italian journalists can one day see me as the Pope in football. However, the next day, they can call me the worst player, “said the Polish national team striker. “Even so, nothing bothers me. They don’t influence me at all.”

Krzysztof Piatek has now failed to score on four successive giornata. If again failed to score a goal in the match against Napoli, this weekend, he will match the bad record last season. At that time, he failed to score from week 32 to 36 Serie A with AC Milan. While with Genoa, he experienced the same thing from 20 October to 10 November 2018.
