This Monday (Gattuso) was in the UAE for an interview live in Abu Dhabi Sport Channel... One of the audience called and asked about Delpiero's interview and the announcer said as soon as Alex make sure he is going to come TO the UAE they gonna declare it...
Gatusso's interview was interesting .. and here is an extract of the interview (the presenter/interviewer was a Juve fan !!):
Would you like a repeat of the Milan-Juve Chamions League Final for next year?
No, Juve are my worst opponents .. they are the only team that make me exhausted and tired at the end of the match .. all of their players give their best and make me work harder for the full 90 minutes. So, no .. i'd rather face another team (laughs) ...
But it would be better for Italian football, don't you think?
Ofcourse, this year we proved to everyone with 3 Italian teams in the semis and 2 contesting the final, that Italian football is fine and doesn't deserve all the harsh critisizm it is receiving ..
You mean the Spanish press?
Well, yes .. they were hard on us .. but I think they were angry because Spanish teams have spent alot in the summer -especially R. Madrid - and thus expected to win something ...
Talking about Real MAdrid .. don't you think that they are missing a player like Gatusso?
No no .. they are a complete squad with amazing players .. besides, they have Makelele in my position (def. mid) .. and he is a great player ..
What do you think of Pippo ?
Pippo is a great friend of mine .. and I was amazed of what he can do especially once he first joined us. He is also a great person and I'm happy for his success this season.
Whom do you prefer: Totti or Del Piero ?
They are both good players but play in different positions even though both carry the number 10 shirt. Totti has more imagination and work with the ball .. whereas Del Piero scores more goals ..
What happned between you and Trap?
Gatusso laughs for a second and then replies: Well, we all know what happened in the Wales match (Gatusso was a subs. in the 2nd half and then re-substituted again minutes later much to his amazement) .. but what can I say is that now in Italy we have around 40 professionals that deserve to be called to the National team .. but the coach must make some sacrifices and chose only 25 from them .. But I think the performance of the team is improving especially that the coach is using more of his attacking options ...
Do you think that Milan will invest heavily in the market?
I'm not in the position to judge those moves because they are made between directors and Mr. Ancelotti .. but I don't think we need many reinforecments because our team is good as it is ..
Can you talk about your experience in Glasgow Rangers?
I had a wonderful time there .. the people, the city, and the players were just great .. and who knows I might actually end my career there !!
Will you ever consider joining Celtic?
No , no .. you know they are Ranger's arch-rivals !!
