Gattuso criticises Serie A: ‘It is absurd’

Gattuso criticises Serie A: ‘It is absurd’

Following the clash with Dudelange, AC Milan manager Gattuso spoke to MilanTV about their Serie A schedule, criticising the league for putting their game against Parma as an early kick-off on Sunday (12:30). 
 
"It is absurd to play at 18:55 (on Thursday) and then play early on Sunday. I don't want to spark any heated discussions, but I just don't understand the decision. 
 
"However, we will be there to fight, I don't want to make any excuses since we are stronger than that. Parma are a strong side with a very fast attack. 
 
"We have to be good, if we play like against Dudelange it won't enough. We need more energy, them being in sixth place is not a coincidence," he concluded. 
 
The Rossoneri will be looking for a good defensive outing, having failed to keep a clean sheet against Dudelange, which is pretty self-explanatory for their defensive issues.
