Gattuso successfully lifted Milan since taking charge of coach seats from dismissed Vincenzo Montella. Despite initially having trouble with some embarrassing results, Gattuso now guides Milan unbeaten in 13 matches in all competitions, plus coming in the final of the Coppa Italia.
The man who during the play earned the nickname 'Rino' because of its aggressiveness is now considered to have returned Milan marwah as European elite club. The Rossoneri are now turning their chances of qualifying for the Champions League either through the top four finish line in Italian Serie A or Europa League champions. On the Europa League line, they have to get rid of Arsenal in the last 16 first.
Like his character while active as a player, Gattuso also makes Milan a team that works hard. The results of the training drill under Gattuso made the Milan fitter and stronger than when still handled Montella. Milan's defense has also been successfully restored, has six matches kept Gianluigi Donnarumma keeper never conceded, the count is already almost 10 hours of their cleansheet. A very good capital ahead of Arsenal.
Gattuso's great ability seems to be not just about tactics and player management, but also in terms of commenting before and after the game. Coming to Arsenal's opponent, Gattuso successfully 'take heart' Wenger by admitting only a child yesterday afternoon in the world of coaching when compared with Wenger. It's like a tricky 'mindgames', Gattuso is ready to surprise Arsenal in a negative period with four straight defeats including a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City in the English League Cup.
Third party reference
"Wenger has won many titles in his career (coach / manager), he has worked for the same club for 21-22 years, while my road is still very long, compared to Wenger, I am just a new kid, I just started and he has trained 30 years , "explained Gattuso as quoted from goal.com (March 8, 2018).
A respectful commentary from Gattuso for Wenger, but also a message that Gattuso is actually giving Wenger a "burden", it would be embarrassing to lose to his son yesterday afternoon. Watch out Wenger!
