Gennaro Gattuso Admits Being Too Old to Engage in the Clash of Lazio-Milan Players

DBasia.news –  A penalty goal from Franck Kessie became the differentiator between the results of the Week 32 Serie A match at San Siro between AC Milan and Lazio on Sunday (14/4) WIB.

After the game ended there was a stir between the players of the two camps, which were suspected of being triggered by the commotion of Fabio Borini and Luiz Felipe. Gennaro Gattuso, Milan coach, was also in the fray of the commotion to calm both parties.

The scenery when Gattuso intervenes with players is quite unique and is also a concern of commentators. As long ago, Gattuso (who was still actively playing) was very fiery if there was such a commotion. Now, Gattuso becomes the ice breaker in a situation.

“My muscles were even pulled when I ran to calm all the players! I was on the bench, I saw a few words thrown out among the players. The most important thing was that the commotion ended here,” said Gattuso on Football-Italy.

“When I used to play , things like that made me fiery, but now I see them with a ‘different view’ and I’m too old for it all. Plus, if I slap players, I’m very likely to get a slap back and everyone is more active in the gym than me. “

The victory has led Milan back to fourth place (Champions League zone). Gattuso is pleased that his foster children has fought it out against one of the rivals who are also pursuing the top four in the standings.

“To play against Lazio, you have to take this approach. You need speed, technique and physicality. We have shown a week ago against Juve that we are developing, while tonight we won the battle in midfield. The team did a good job,” added Gattuso.

“The players have to fight for the jersey. Trainers come and go, clubs stay. It’s our duty to look great and we must praise the players, regardless of their age, for giving everything. Negative moments “It can’t be avoided, but we are back to the pace of victory,” he explained.
