Gattuso wants ‘defensive’ Milan (1 Viewer)

[Menace]

Gennaro Gattuso is calling for his Milan side to change their footballing philosophy following their Champions’ League disaster.

The Rossoneri surrendered a three-goal lead in the Final to Liverpool, before eventually losing on penalties.

And now the tough tackling midfielder believes boss Carlo Ancelotti needs to make some adjustments.

"We have a winning mentality at Milan but it does cause us problems in Europe and may need changing," he told TG1.

"We need to attack by using our heads a little more than we have done. Milan need to find a way to go on the offensive but by not giving so much away defensively."

Gattuso comments are unlikely to please the Milan hierarchy who have often ‘told’ Ancelotti to field an attacking midfielder behind two strikers.

"We know that the political people at Milan like an attacking outfit but this side needs to learn how to suffer," he added.

"We were affected by fear after Liverpool made it 3-1, that shouldn’t have happened," continued the former Rangers man.

"(Former Italy boss) Giovanni Trapattoni was labelled as defensive but trying to defend a result is sometimes the right thing to do."

Gennaro is great player, a real Fighter.

The problem with Milan is that they always sleep at the 2nd half and scores in the dying minutes of the game. They ought ot change this habit and focus 100% for every second.

I think they did everything right up until Gerrard goal. I really believe it was just "six minutes of insanity"

i still can't believe how a team lead 3:0 lose

 

[Daddi]

yeah, Milan rocked. But I though to myself: "in the 2nd half Milan will fall asleep if they dont put in some fighters like Brocchi and a fast hungry player like Serginho." and they should've really have done that and not fallen asleep Serginho is their greatest player for a long time now and he is not getting the real chance to shine... waste of a in-form player, Ancelotti!! He is by far much better than Seedorf these days.
