PADOVA - Adriano Galliani stated this right after the first win on the road of
the season: 'They said that we were cursed because we could not win afternoon
matches. Well, we did it. We won despite a very hot afternoon and this is ver
y good news. Now we have to open a winning streak so that we can close the gap
with the leading teams. Gilardino? He is a great player and we knew that alre
ady. And we are going to be even better soon, when Pippo Inzaghi comes back wi
th us. Players have to stay focused and play the right way.' The chief executi
ve added: 'I invited Rino Gattuso over for dinner. Just the two of us, to be s
ure that we are all on the same page and there are no problems. Sometimes when
you love something or someone too much there might be misunderstandings. But
there are no problems at all with Rino.'
