Italian manager Christian Brocchi has started to pave his way into professional football as a coach, his start was with the club he adores: AC Milan. But the positive results have not been on his side right now as he has only managed to get a single victory, one draw and one defeat in his start as a manager. But he is feeling confident that things will turn around soon for him, his style of play demands it.
During an interview, he justified his rocky start by saying: "If the chief offers you a top role, how can you say no? All coaches are criticized, even [Juve boss Massimiliano] Allegri was this season. I have my ideas and will continue with them whether I am at Milan next season or not. All great coaches had initial difficulties. Arrigo Sacchi, Pep Guardiola, even Maurizio Sarri needed two and a half months at Napoli to get his team playing this well.
"Having said that, the lack of time must not be a justification for me. I am trying to give something to my team and have been studying football for five years, so I have a fortified idea of the sport. I prefer to watch Barcelona and Bayern Munich, or if we want to be more close to home the way Napoli, Sassuolo and Empoli play. It's a difficult moment for everyone and we are all disappointed. I am responsible for the players and if they don't do what I ask, I have to take responsibility for that too."
He continued by saying: "In my idea of football we can't just focus on the counter-attack, but must entertain the fans. It's not arrogance, it is my idea of football. On Sunday, however, the result is too important. In Italy the number one rule is to get the three points, but that doesn't mean my team will be clammed up trying to counter to snatch a result. That has never been our approach. Not making Europe would be a collective failure - the fault would lie with me and the players. We are always here working, my staff and I only stop for the eight or nine hours per day we get to spend at home."
