Inter Milan boss Rafa Benitez admits he's had to adjust his management in his first season in Italy.
Benitez was on the verge of dismissal at San Siro before back-to-back wins over Twente and Parma, so he has noted big changes in his debut Serie A campaign.
"In Spain the game is more technical, in England it's more physical, while in Italy it's more tactical. Each country is a challenge and I like to put myself to the test.
"This year after the World Cup the players came back late and we immediately had to prepare for two cup finals. It hasn't been easy, but we have strength in depth and the desire to get to Abu Dhabi in peak condition.
"As for my role, it changes a bit because in the transfer market here in Italy, just as in Spain, the director of football has the final say, whereas in England the Coach has more autonomy, even if he still has to answer to the managing director. With both systems it's possible to do well."
