Milan Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic insists “I never give up”, despite a difficult start to the season.
The Rossoneri have lost their last two games in Serie A, including a 4-0 humbling by Napoli, leading to suggestions the Serbian might be under pressure.
“This is part of the Italian mentality,” Mihajlovic told reporters in his Press conference ahead of the Torino match.
Milan Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic insists “I never give up”, despite a difficult start to the season.
The Rossoneri have lost their last two games in Serie A, including a 4-0 humbling by Napoli, leading to suggestions the Serbian might be under pressure.
“This is part of the Italian mentality,” Mihajlovic told reporters in his Press conference ahead of the Torino match.
“It’s nothing strange for me. [Inter Coach Roberto] had the good fortune to live in England, and he said he could see the differences.
“I like the pressure in Italy, it’s challenging. We know that we are the first to be responsible for everything, because the work isn’t looked at, only the results.
“My players have always tried to do things right when they go onto the pitch. It’s true that we’re psychologically weak though.
“In the first half against Napoli we did well, then little moments and individual errors caused the result to swing in Napoli’s favour. The result was still fair.
“We have to roll up our sleeves. Lazio, for example, conceded nine goals in two games, and now they’re third in the table.”
Mihajlovic was asked if he envies Torino Coach Giampiero Ventura, who has been given plenty of time with the Granata, having been in charge since 2011.
“If you coach Milan, you can’t envy any Coach in the world. It’s different, working at a big club compared to one that is less big.
“I know that in the first case you’re given less time than in the second. If someone tells me to give up, I wouldn’t know how, I never give up.
“I go forward with calm and serenity, we’ll get out of this situation.”
Tomorrow’s trip to Turin is expected to be a tough test for the Diavolo, and Mihajlovic is under no illusions as to the task at hand.
“We have to play the Milan way,” the Serbian explained.
“Ventura is one of the best Coaches in Italy, a professor of football. He’s had the good fortune to be in the same job for many years, but it’s also fully deserved.
“We’ve worked on how to cause them problems, hopefully we can put it into practice.”
