Gennaro Gattuso will lead Milan against Sampdoria tomorrow in the Coppa Italia. The manager had a press conference on the eve of the match, and spoke about two of his players. One that has just arrived in Lucas Paqueta, and one that is being rumored to leave in Gonzalo Higuain. The coach had this to say: "Higuain? Gonzalo has presented himself well, if he didn't train how I like I wouldn't take the decision to play him against Sampdoria. There is talk in this moment, but I look at how he trains, the availability that he gives me and the professionalism he has. The rest are his things to worry about, his brothers, his representatives that talk with Leonardo, I hope that he remains here as long as possible; if it's not like this, we'll see. As long as he is here and he gives this professionalism it will not be a problem for me."
"Paqueta? He is a sharp player, a player with precise characteristics. He seems like a European player, not a Brazilian, he has a Brazilian style of play but he knows the field well, he has physical quality, his head works well even in a tactical sense. This is something important. I am surprised: he is a 21 year old player who has arrived at Milan demonstrating to already have professionalism and charisma. He always wants the ball, he always shows himself, he is imposing, he chases the opponents. We made a great signing."
