I dont know based on what pd is saysing that he will be star in euro 2004 ,he is not even a star in juve anymore , i hopw he will go back to his form anyway
I have studied Gattuso's game on numerous occassions and I rate him as a destructive player. He is a dirty player period (some may call his style - Hard man). I dislike this type of play. You can win the ball at the mid without necessarily resorting to violence.
Others who fall into this category: Tacchinardi, Davids (albeit he has more flair than the other two when going forward) etc.
Disclaimer: I have nothing personal against Gattuso or the above named players.
Whether you like it or not, Cassano is already a little God-in-the-making. I heard he scored a volley à la Van Basten in the Euro 88 final in the other day's training session (if you know what Im referring to).
And at 21 (soon 22), he is entitled to puerile attitudes. As I've said quite a few times already : he is "genio e sregolatezza" (genius and folly).

Okay, it's a counter-attack, with 4 attackers and 4 defenders. The ball is pushed out to the left, then crossed on the first touch. The cross balloons and arrives at MVB, who is at the edge of the box, about 2 metres out from the touch-line. He hits the ball first-time with his right foot, and it sails over the keeper's head and dips down into the goal.

Pendir, I put together some screen captures, and I highlighted the ball in red on some of the frames cos it's kind of hard to see
