Milan, Gattuso on Benevento’s late goal:”Getting stabbed would have been less painful”

Giving up a goal to the opposing team’s keeper in stoppage time certainly wasn’t the way Rino Gattuso envisioned starting his new job as Milan’s manager. The rossoneri coach described his state of mind to Sky Sport after the match:”It certainly burns. A stabbing would have been less painful. Then giving up a goal like that, we suffered last fifteen minutes, but it was shocking. I would have never expected to give up a goal to the keeper in the 94th minute. I can only thank these players for how they worked this week and for the spirit they showed on the pitch. We could have done better, but I saw players that made sacrifices. We need to improve our mentality and the phsycal aspect. What we are doing now isn’t enough
