Salvini backtracks: 'I respect Gattuso, he is the best AC Milan can have'
This morning, however, Salvini came with a counter-reply and backtracked from his statements.
"Gattuso is the best coach that Milan can have and I spoke as a fan. Let's say that with some changes there could have been a different ending. I have immense respect for Gattuso as a player and coach. When yesterday the Lazio coach made three changes when they were 0-1 down and we did not make a single one, I spoke as a fan," he said.
"He is a coach but I am a minister and a Milan fans. I would have made two changes, but he is still a great coach. I'll call him today and we will clarify as the two Milanisti we are," Salvini added.
