5 quotes to understand Gennaro Gattuso

There are some football players who have flaunted their image so much that they have become characters. Becoming a character has pros and cons: you win the heart (or hatred) of the fans, the respect of your colleagues and coaches, the space in the media. On the other hand, very often it is difficult to get out your own image, change the idea that the world of football has made of you is almost impossible. Gennaro Gattuso, despite his sincere and sincere warrior character, he always liked to talk a lot. His obsession for battle, work and frankness have made him one of the most popular players in Italy, following a philosophy halfway between the peeled knees on the provincial fields and the paramilitary obedience to a winning company like Milan. As a coach Gattuso has not grown up, he has not proposed a different idea of football (stopped at '90) and his sentences, as a player and coach seem to prove it.
