Gattuso: "Milan has changed, different mentality. Maldini the strongest of all and the rissa ibra-onyewu ..."

Gennaro Gattuso, Guest of the Presentation of the Book "From Calciopoli to the Pink Floyd" by Alberto Costa, spoke of his past Rossonero, "The salvation of Milan in the years was the respect of the rules, in the age of time he had to intervene Galliani. We were going to go to the interior, to respectively, we respected the story: today it is more fatigue. Today's mentality has changed, today you have to be careful. The first day in Milanello I was the beard, I left two hair in the sink ... took two slaps head from Costacurta, saying I had to clean, the mentality immediately. The gatellis merely convinced to stay, by player, but I did not feel more comfortable, I did not spoke more the same language. So many did not like what, I have and dumbbeas we said. Today is a different age."

The Rissa Ibrahimovic-Onyewu: "We had moved to a field other than usual, there were people and their two took them. Weighted hundred chili one, I saw slaps that would have killed me (laughs, NDR). From hero I went there to divide them, I also took some calcium. They have been half an hour, they were screaming. Ibra passed immediately, he did not browse."

Can the old Milan mentality return? "Don't forget that things have changed, a coach has to find guys willing to make sacrifices, to improve, to do something more. Today you have to be careful to say something to the boys, if you tell him something then they start complaining, they look for alibis: things have changed".

The details in the locker room: "It's the little things that have changed, for example you only felt Italian stuff. Now if you put something Italian they start laughing. There is only foreign stuff, hip hop, if I put Pupo everyone laughs. Today it's different, they all have headphones, maybe you can even watch English or Spanish games that play at other times. They are their habits, everything has changed. "

Is football more individual? "Now everyone thinks of his backyard, doing things the way he is used to doing. But it is a problem they all have in Serie A, in all the locker rooms. In 1999, for example, the music was not focused and concentrated. I also tried to take it off as a coach, but many people like it even though it annoys me personally. So I took a step back, although maybe it's better to listen to Pupo than the crap that passes now (laughs)

On the withdrawal in Malta: "Galliani will surely say no, but with the excuse that we had made a Maltese sponsorship, we ended up in Malta preparing for mid-season. But there was a tremendous wind and it was cold dog, we were all pissed off black with the doctor for the choice. After seven days we returned to Milan, if today a coach does something like that, they take him for a fool. We, on the other hand, were well together, we were together even at night or after lunch. they finish eating, they go away immediately. Times have changed in this too ".

How to become a champion? "To be great champions you need to be consistent, even off the field and talent is never enough. One who never skips training, which is consistent, always arrives on time, does his job at 360 degrees, respects every "That's why I say that Maldini was the strongest in the world, because he was always on the piece. He could have lived on income and instead he never gave up anything. The secret of that historical group was this, if there was a rule." was respected to the letter ".

The 2006 World Cup: "I remember that Grosso's goal in the semifinals I didn't even go to cheer, I was the last man in midfield and if someone left from Germany I had to go chase him. In life I always thought of becoming the strongest of my role "I always wanted to improve myself. I didn't want to improve my quality, but I knew my limits and I had to make myself available to the group."
