GATTUSO: "FAIR RESULT, WE NEVER GIVE UP"
The Rossoneri coach, Gennaro Gattuso, spoke in the post-match press conference after the 1-1 draw between Real Betis and Milan.
"The draw is a fair result, Real Betis are a great team, they have important players and I'm not surprised by their performance. They always look to outsmart their opponents, it takes courage and organization to beat them. After the group draw, I immediately realized that we were in a very difficult group and that we would have to gain qualification on the last matchday. We struggled with the 5-man defence, then moving Suso and Calhanoglu in their usual position, in a 3-4-3, we played better".
About the injuries Gattuso said: "Musacchio is fine, he's a South American, he's tough, I hope he fully recovers for Sunday night's game. Calhanoglu took the usual blow to the instep, he has a hematoma and it hurts when he gets hit there".
Sunday evening (at 8.30pm) the Rossoneri will play against Juventus, in the Serie A TIM 12th round match: "We will need to put our hearts in that game, the same heart that this team demonstrated tonight. We struggled in the first half, then we recovered in the second spell in under 10 minutes. We have the will and energy: we never give up. Sometimes we are afraid of playing, then when summoning the courage we show some interesting things".
