The Champions League is approaching, Milan are asked for a perfect display to
defeat Juventus. The Manchester setting will be a dream, the excitement sky-
high, the legs shaking with tension. The game will need genuine men to give it
their best shot and to be fearless of anything.
Rino Gattuso is the most suitable player for the task with his grit and
determination, his helpfulness and sacrifices. It is no coincidence that he
made an instant impact on the International spotlight as he played with
Glasgow Rangers. Just there he learnt that with hard work you can reach every
goal; just there he realized that football is first of all passion.
The British experience gave young Rino much satisfaction. He can't even forget
that he scored his first and unique goal with the Italian National side just
against England.
A destiny which wanted Gattuso to play the most important final of his
Rossonero career at Manchester. The Rossonero midfielder will have to face once
again Juventus' Edgar Davids for another of their typical exciting challenges.
It will be a harsh but correct battle. Because to show rage and aggression does
not mean to be violent, and it is confirmed by the fact that Gattuso has never
been sent-off this season.
Rino does not need to be spurred, as he revealed to the 'Milan Channel' before
leaving for Manchester: 'Sometimes a word is enough to light my fire. My friends,
my team-mates and the coach knows that I don't need to be given further
incentives. It is better to let me relax on my own. We want to win to go down
in history.'
