Gattuso is telling the truth. the shirt of Milan was too heavy for Gila... Gila can nag about the difference between the way Milan and Fiorentina play, but that won't make me forget all the great chances, like many one-on-ones, he wasted here. those misses had nothing to do with the 'systems and formations'. his problem was all psychological if you ask me.

i'm with you as well.

it sorta shows a sign of insecurity now that he has to take a shot at him now that he's doing well. he should have just wished him well.

Gattuso has always been this way. He is not afraid to offend others. He is not Mourinho... He is not shrewd. He just goes with his gut.

The timing of it is the funniest, he wouldn't get into the Milan under 10s with the way he's been playing in the last 12 months.. yet he has the time to criticise others? I think Mr. Rino needs to take a look in the mirror, simply not good enough.

WHAT? Man, the ones you do not like you are so hard at!


Whether Gattuso is right or wrong I don't see why he had to say these things. He should have avoided it.

+1 Some things don't need to be said

Exactly. Like Gila not answering back in the media about Rino's comments. Boy, the two would have a hard time in the Azzuri matches, me thinks. No personality, huh?

HAHAH gattuso the legend, the animal. Long live gattuso!!! hahahahha

He is telling the truth, but it's something that should not be said, especially to the media.

And last night Gattuso was great! He stoped Quaresma every time he tried to do something!

Quaresma even more than CR has a tendency to blow hot/cold. If it's his night he can be magical. But if it's not, he's not the type who's going to graft around and work hard to come up with an average performance.

God bless Giggs!

I love fighting spirit of Gattuso, but I hate his habbit to yell at the top of his voice at milan players.

Yesterday he did big mistake shouting at Carletto. He has done villainous thing.

I'm angry as hell.

^^ You go 'Valdo Send that damn Rino a bullet in the envelope. Hey chill bro, we're talking about the guy who tried choking Lippi to death in the World Cup out of sheer happiness.

Meanwhile...Gila scores (as usual) a next to impossible chance to give Viola the three points. Of course he did miss a few relatively simpler ones. I miss my lad. Sell Flamini, bring back Gila!!

I'm so so happy for selling Gila.

Sell a diamond and bring back a [Milan-]flop? no thanks

I've got a feeling Gila is not done with Milan. He may come back when he's 30 years or older, what with our tendency of recalling players who've played with us before like Brocchi, Ba, and who not. Depending on what kind of a player Gila is then, that could be a good thing or bad.

Still, too soon to tell. But I wouldn't shut the Gila window just yet, if I were you!

Ok fine...sell Pato, bring back Gila. Pato couldn't score against Inter...he's a big game flop.

Oh, please don't say that. because I know it can happen!!



I know you love Gila so much to really suggest something like that

I say go buy a violet Jersey and support Gila and his new team

It's already been arranged.

OR, we could get rid of our incompetent head coach, and bring somebody in who does know how to use young players and their confidence. As opposed to Mr. Ancelotti who seems to feed off Gila and Pato being pissed off.

Most of my friends say it can/will happen. At the end of the day we're Milan, so it won't be an unexpected thing as people think it to be. We've recalled several players like him in the past. For all that matters we might as well see Ronaldo (the real one, thank you) in Milan.

I know there's less than a 1% chance, but like I said this is Milan, AC we're talking about. Anything can happen!

I have especial dislike for Gila. Maybe only Oliveira is worse.

Is it just me or does he look significantly more confident with the ball on his feet this season compared to... the rest of his career?

We certainly do need that!

FORZA RINO!

I haven't seen many full games of Milan lately, but even on the highlight shows he seems to be more composed in posession.. Rino is actually becoming a footballer!

I think he stole part of Pirlo's brain - or has loan of it for a while.

It's simple: he has competition.

I don't think a competetive spirit can improve someones skills in such short times. At least not justcompetition.


@Rivaldo; I never got to the dislike-Oliveira story? That guy had a cameo with us that lasted 1 season. What has he done so wrong else?

Gosh. Awfully negative view of Gattuso, isn't it?

How can that improve his technical level? Besides, he never needed competition, Gattuso is the only player I know off that always gives 100%. And I doubt that's any different in training.

Um, he was out of form. Horribly. He had competition before in Ambrosini, though not sustained, but it was competition nonetheless. It's another thing he may have gotten a bit lax because of Carlo's insistence on using half a dozen DMs. Sure he wasn't the same after Athens, but I'd expect a club like Milan to stay with it's player through both good and bad. He still can be very useful for us, at least for the next 2-3 seasons.

When a player like him gets out of form and fitness, it's tough to recover, because frankly the only talent Gattuso has is his iron-man body and never-dying-spirit (though now he's letting some creative juices flow ). And the position he plays in sure doesn't help. It's a lethal combo that can instantly break a player. Take Sheva for instance, he wasn't as good in his final year or two, before he left for Chelsea. But very few people noticed because his talent and attacking position saved him. Same with Pirlo, sorry to say this but he was about as bad as Rino in these last year. In Gattuso's case things quickly took a turn for the worse. All said and done, I'm happy for him and his return. He's been consistently improving since our match against inter earlier this year (which we won).

It's true. Lately, I often forget he's not Pirlo. Gattuso is doing his best season so far. Not a single bad game. He was also good in the "Edu vs. Cation" match when he fouled Seedorf like... 5 times.

You took most of the words right out of my mouth!
I agree with the most of it, but I do think people did however realise a dip in Pirlo's form as well.
Hopefully after this unfortunate injury he would be back to his best. ( Oh if that happens how I would like to see ANY team stop our attack ...[QUOTE ME ON THIS!!]
But yess, I am glad to see Gattuso back to the rough & tough, with a never say die attitude.
I was never really one to question his place on the team either, I was really glad and relieved when he made his decision to see out his Milan Contract.

What is up with Gattuso and his assist these days? I'm pretty sure it was him who assisted Pato's goal against Torino.

I think he's been working hard on it in training. Perhaps over the past couple of seasons. Maybe last season was growing pains. Like when Tiger Woods changed his swing.

Though personally, it's Carlo giving freedom to his 2 DMs to move forward to compensate the lack of Pirlo. But Rino has really evolved, so even with Pirlo he's been given the freedom.

Yess, You saw right
And I was wondering the same thing!

But lets just leave it as it is, and take it all in - never questioning a thing about it ever again.
May this magic last forever!

Forza Rino!

[AC Milan announces that the player Gennaro Gattuso, injured during the Milan-Catania game, had an MRI done today. The scan showed a lesion to the anterior cruciat ligament of his left knee. Gattuso, accompanied by Dr. Meersseman, will go to Anvers Belgium tomorrow to consult with Professor Martens.]

There goes the guy who's been our best player so far this season.

Dammit. Is Abbiati the only player from the starting XI that didn't suffer a injury so far?? This is out of line,..

Oh my this is grave. And he really has been our best player. Flamini and Ambrosini would be enough but two DMF's are too few for Ancelotti... more Emerson to come, we're doomed!

edit: Did he get injured when he made that silly tackle? That was a reckless move damn it!

Yes, the injury is a result of that tackle. This is bad news. I really hope he'll get healed quicker as it's common for him to disappoint early predictions.

Get well, Rino.

No, I don't think it was the tackle. Maybe it made the situation worse, but you could see he was hurt before he got carded.

I mean when he tackled the ground before he received the yellow card.

Nooooo!



The season is over

parmafan.com is under construction...

I will watch matches with extreme cynicism when Emerson plays. If it wa Ambro, Flamini and Pirlo, fair enough, but Emo is not even a quarter or Ambrosini, so i think a defeat against Juve is likely. Is it strange that we scored a goal after Emerson was substituted. Is it strange that our performances improved after this event? How many matches have we won with Emo (not including 10 minute cameo's)

Hope Gattuso recovers quickly

6 months without Rinho.....for what?

So sad....

Russian speaking milanfans say about this kind of situation: полный пиздец!

That last word is naughty, isn't it?

Even Milanlab cannot make me feel proud of something anymore! what is it with all these injuries???

I hope Flamini steps up a bit. I can't stand to see Emerson start in the next 6 months!



I don't know why everything I say about anyone [like you say] Not From Brazil is seen as a critical view... come on, how saying Gattuso's good form is because he has competition can be seen as an 'awfully negative view of Gattuso'? just where does such conclusion come from?...

It's football. no one can perform up to his real potential for many seasons without a proper competitor [the case with Gattuso. he'd always been head and shoulders above his substitutes], unless he's Maldini, and only Maldini.

OMG

Works for me. Same standard should apply to Players From Brazil, however, as they're not Maldini.

Absolutely. I don't recall saying Kaka or Pato don't need competition. and one of the reasons Dinho is finding his form back, I think, is because he has competition.

+1 cookie to us. We agree on something!
