EXCLUSIVE MN - M. Colombo: "Never saw Gattuso like this, relationships seem worn out. The collapse? In the derby he lost certainty but the other happened"

Monica Colombo, a Corriere della Sera journalist, was interviewed exclusively by MilanNews.it to comment on Rino Gattuso's sentences and position in view of tonight's fundamental challenge in Torino

Does Milan seem lost, is everything from the derby or is there something extra? "The defeat in the derby has affected, it was a bit of a watershed match of the season. There was no certainty there, but the other one happened in cascade. Before the challenge with Sampdoria Gattuso said" In two months I speak ". He yesterday denied that this interpretation was due to a collapse of the team, but even that helped to remove certainties from a group where there are already elements that do not shine for personality and leadership".

Rino Gattuso appeared resigned at the conference ... "Gattuso denies being resigned, but I have known him since he arrived at Milan. So I had never seen him before. He no longer seems to believe it so much, then probably, since he is not self-defeating, I think it is an attempt to flush out the players, goad them in pride, or in what is left in them.The phrases that he used today are critical all along the line, "Team without a soul, without play", it is difficult to think that he wants to celebrate the funeral alone. footballers in pride ".

What should you expect from the Torino challenge? "At the level of attitude I imagine myself different to the last two, quite disconcerting. I believe there will be an answer, then if Paquetà will play qualitatively you should see something more, with a game a little more purposeful".

Can the return of Paquetà help Milan? "I hope that there is Paquetà, also because the other men of quality, who on paper had to guarantee a certain return, have not been seen in the last period. Suso is back from the vintage in chiaroscuro that we know, Calhanoglu at this point comes to me "I suspect the player is this. We all always expect an explosion that never comes. Castillejo guarantees race and change of pace but he is not a footballer who can change the face of the team. If there is a good footed player that can make some balloons arrive to Piatek is really Paquetà, also because it doesn't seem to me that many balls have arrived in the Coppa Italia ".

Can we hypothesize that Gattuso will remain in the light of the latest statements? "Until a few weeks ago there could have been a stay in the event of qualifying for the Champions League. For the tones used it seems to me that the relationship is a bit worn. After yesterday's press conference I find it hard to imagine a Gattuso, which is me he seemed tired from a mental and emotional point of view, that he could stay. The company does not communicate much, but a thousand came out of voices. The last time they were denied had been on the evening of the match with Juve. in the last interview with Leonardo we only talked about racism, nothing on the coach front, I think it was wanted ".
