The Rossoneri have been under heavy attack from both fans and critics, but the Brazilian coach does not believe that the issue is anything to do with a lack of fitness...

Milan coach Leonardo commented his side's state of mind ahead of tonight's clash against Zurich in the second matchday of the Champions League.

Despite the latest poor performances, highlighted by the clash against Bari, Leonardo does not think that the Rossoneri's main problem is a physical one and points instead to the need to create goal scoring opportunities.

"The team's issue is general, it isn't physical," explained the young Brazilian coach to Milan Channel.

"It's not true that we didn't run against Bari. We are a team built to play and to hurt.

"When we struggle to create attacking chances. we suffer. We are looking for some alternatives for the system. Our moves have to be faster, we have to get the ball further forward, if we manage to play in the opposition's half, we create more," he explained.

"Against Bari. that was the idea, but after ten minutes Bari found space and their playing style caused us problems."

Milan will be back in action in Serie A on Sunday when they visit Antonio Conte's Atalanta.
