AC Milan striker Krzysztof Piatek admits he's having to change his game for coach Marco Giampaolo.

The Pole says Giampaolo wants him to adjust his play.

He told Foottruck: "I wasn't physically in good shape after pre-season training and it's not easy to learn Giampaolo's tactical system, so it could take some time.

We want to keep the ball for long periods, but I think at times we ought to try something a bit more route one with a long ball. Giampaolo is very demanding and always has 15 options open for every move. It was tough in pre-season when most of the players weren't there, but we are now getting better day by day. I am trying to move the way the Coach wants, as I know that'll make me a better striker.

In Italy they say I am a typical Polish centre-forward, as I'm always in the box. The statistics don't show that, but people tell me I need to work to play outside of the penalty area more."
