Milan, Gattuso: "We need the fans. I am happy for Kalinic"

Gennaro Gattuso's tenure as Milan manager got off to a tough start, as his team drew away to Benevento after a miraculous header scored by the goalkeeper Brignoli in the final minute of stoppage time. The coach spoke again with Milan TV the day after the match, "I didn't sleep last night. There is so much bitterness, with the awareness that we didn't play a great match. We helped each other, suffered together, but we can do better. I liked the spirit. I am happy that Kalinic and Bonaventura scored, even Kessie played well. We need everyone right now, even those that don't play, and we must still get better.Sometimes being physically strong helps you do unthinkable things. It wasn't a coincidence that we played with an important rhythm for an hour. Then our levels dropped and we it is an aspect we must improve because we gave away too many balls. I probably gave a negative signal, because when I put on Zapata the team perceived it that we would just defend. But I did it to defend well because we were ahead and with one less player on the field. The fans? Every Sunday there are 55,000 fans. I hope their enthusiasm remains. Great players arrived and everyone expected better results. But we need the fans, I hope they understand the moment we are in and give us a hand. These aren't cliches, I really believe it. The training today? I saw angry faces, everyone is engaged, even those who played yesterday. I did not expect so much desire in this group, we are putting everything on the line. It is not enough, but we are the ones who have to get out of this situation, I have positive feelings."
