"Probably Mario has not made the transition yet from being just a fantastic athlete to a great player," Gandini told CNN of one of the most talked about players in world football.
"The expectation was probably bigger (at AC Milan), and I think also his expectations, and he has not reached the status yet where he can carry the club.
One goal in eight matches for new club Liverpool, and dumped by the Italian national team.
