"Our presentations have always been there, but at times we missed getting three points. This squad, since the beginning of this season, has always played good soccer. We always want to play and when we play, we take risks. It's an active squad. Today we were able to win."
All of the Rino Gattuso's satisfaction for the victory at San Siro was on display for the 45,000 fans. Milan defeated Chievo 3-1 thanks to a brace by Higuain and a goal from Bonaventura.
"Before we weren't quite in crisis mode, but we weren't able to close out games," continued Gattuso when speaking to Sky Sport. "Higuain? He's a champion and a great finisher."
"He's made himself available to the group and we love him for that. In this moment we're missing Calhanoglu, who is not playing brilliantly, but can also score many goals like Pipita."
"I prefer to have players that understand what I ask from them. They do not all have the same character, with one you need to raise your voice and with another, a pat on the back is enough. You need to manage in different ways"
"We must work well with our connections. On the right, we're doing well. On the left, we're doing much better, but can still improve. We like to give breadth and not just with Suso."
"We need to improve on the defensive level, and it's not a problem of the 4-4-2. It's tough to lose a player like Cutrone on the outside, but we're also able to create chances with the 4-3-3."
"How do I live the derby? It's a disaster. It's an important match. There are 80,000 fans in the stadium. I'm very proud when my players play for their national team, it's right. Now we'll recuperate a little energy and then we'll take on the derby with a lot of attention."
