After finding himself on the bench early in his Milan career, Tiemoue Bakayoko has revealed how he finally earned the trust of Gattuso to Sky Sport: "The 4-4-2 is the formation I prefer, but even in a 4-3-3 I found myself well in the last game. My position has changed, but I believe that I have done well: I have been able to help the team more. I am upset about the result against Juventus, however, this is football. But I am happy with how I played."
"Adapting to Milan? I don't like being whistled, but I understand it. I hope they applaud me soon. I have done good things but I am only at the beginning. I hope to be decisive and to help Milan reenter the top four in Serie A. Kessie? He has helped me adjust a lot, above all with the language. I hope to speak Italian soon. My role? When I was young I played in the same position as Ronaldhino and he was my idol. But even Yaya toure."
At Chelsea Bakayoko was trained by Antonio Conte, and the methods were not that different from what he is experiencing now: "Conte and Gattuso are somewhat similar: they give a lot and ask even more from the players, during training and in games. They have the same style of training, bringing along ideas of great value."
