'Totally different' - Gianluca Scamacca on Leeds United expectation and West Ham must

Italian international forward Scamacca joined the Hammers from Serie A outfit Sassuolo last July and the 24-year-old has since made 14 Premier League outings, scoring twice. Six of the Italian’s league outings have come on the road and the striker has drawn on those experiences in sizing up his expectations for what awaits at Elland Road. Scamacca has so far stepped out at Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Everton, Southampton, Liverpool and Manchester United in Premier League away games for his new club.

"My teammates haven’t told me anything specific about the atmosphere at Leeds, but I think every stadium in England is hard to play at,” said Scamacca, speaking to whufc.com. “It will be a hard match and we will need to give 100 per cent.

“The Premier League is totally different from Serie A. In Italy, the football can be more tactical and lower in intensity. I would say only five or six matches in the season are of high intensity. But here, every match has that high intensity and is hard.”
