Gattuso: “Taylor case? Story closed, anyone who knows me knows how I think”

Gattuso immediately commented on the Taylor case, downplaying it: “In my opinion we are working well and it is normal that we need to raise the bar further. The other day someone had fun writing about Taylor, it can be part of the game. Anyone who knows me knows how I think, what style I have. For me, after half an hour it’s all over.” A comment also on the relationship with Alessandro Nesta, now coach of Avellino: “Sandro was a great teammate for the national team and for Milan. There has always been a great relationship, we talk often. He is a little calmer than me, more calm. I am more sanguine. But as a player he is a champion, as a coach he has very good ideas, we often talk to each other and he is a teammate I loved.”

In closing, the memory of Franco Baresi: “Condolences to his family, to his children, to his wife, to his brother, to the whole family. When I spoke to Franco I stood at attention because for me he was the captain, he was a man who spoke little and smiled little. He was unique, a legend and when you spoke to him he gave you this feeling. He will remain in the history of world football, I agree with those who say that we must give him the ball golden for his career. In my opinion he changed the role of libero.”
