Shortly after the 1-1 draw at the Stadio Olimpico, Gennaro Gattuso spoke to the Sky Sport microphones.
"Lazio had a good match, but it was not easy for us to play today; we played with many players in roles not really are not theirs - we must thank the team for this performance. We are in a state of emergency, but we did not have to cry about it. We had a great performance today with great mentality - we have not played this way for a long time. Acerbi made the difference, he hurt us physically in the final third".
On the injured front there should be no news this week, also due to Gattuso not wanting to risk having repercussions on the individuals who are recovering.
"We hope to recover someone from the injured list soon. Thursday, we will give space to those who have had less playing time. It was nice to prepare for this game: the players were who were available were ready to go, even those returning from their national team. We do not want to fasten the timing of returns because the main thing is to avoid relapses".
Finally, a point on the management relationship with Paolo Maldini, who, together with Leonardo could bring Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Milan in January.
"I can say that Maldini has always been in times of difficulty as well as other managers. Working with him and Leonardo makes me grow. With Ibra, we won the Scudetto here in Rome, but I had long hair, a pigtail and I did not have a white beard. From here until the market opens, there is still a lot of time. Maldini and Leonardo will take care of the market".
