Gattuso: 'I like Chelsea's Fabregas'

Gattuso: 'I like Chelsea's Fabregas'

On the eve of the match against Parma at the San Siro, the Rossoneri coach Gennaro Gattuso spoke to the media in a press conference.

"We must respect the opponent, understand well the qualities they have and how they play. We have to be very careful. Tomorrow there will be almost 60,000 fans, a source of pride for us. If we play technically, we will put Parma in difficulty," he said.

"Playing at noon? I am not against this, I only spoke about the time between the mid-week match and yesterday, because we played on Thursday. I spoke without offending anyone. If we played at 6 or 8.30 pm we would have prepared in the morning. I think people need to appreciate the work of the management. Today Gazidis arrived and is maximally committed.

"Calhanoglu? He needs 4/5 matches, to find continuity of performances like last year. I hope he continues as he did in the second half against Dudelange and Lazio.

"Gazidis understands football. He represented Arsenal and achieved good results. It was a pleasure to be with him. When he talks, he fascinates you and you listen to him willingly. He watched the training with Leonardo and Maldini.

"Conti? He deserves it. He knows he is missing the last step. This week he worked a lot. I liked him on Thursday morning when he did a specific exercise with Castillejo. Now it is up to me to find the right moment to field him. Bakayoko and Cutrone? Today te trained. They were not at their top, but they are available.

"Fabregas? It is normal that I like him, as I like Modric and Kante and other players. These are questions that must be asked to Leonardo and Maldini. I do not want to think about the market myself. If something has to be done, like Paqueta, we will sit at the table and talk about it. There are so many rumoured players, but at the moment there is nothing concrete," Gattuso concluded.
