🎙️ Gattuso: "As for @bonucci_leo19, he gave us a lot of professional, technical, tactical and human skills. A lot of merits go to him for some of the improvements made. He always had my back when i would spark on the sidelines and was an added value."

🎙️ Gattuso: "Fair enough, but we have to evaluate where and how to wait for them, if we do it in the last twenty meters of the pitch, they will pressurize us, We have to play with an open mind and decide exactly where to wait for them".

*Napoli journalist blasts referee for Milan-Juventus*
Juventus prevailed over AC Milan yesterday in a thrilling encounter at the San Siro and refereeing decisions were once again discussed yesterday, but even today in various Italian papers and by journalists all over the country. One of them was Umberto Chiariello, a Neapolitan journalist, who spoke to Canale 21 about yesterday's match.

"After giving the penalty based on VAR, Mazzoleni did not give the second yellow card to Benatia, here we are in absolute favouritism! The defender interrupted a goal-scoring opportunity, by regulation there should be a yellow card and thus the second yellow," he said.


"Once again the championship is distorted, not on penalties, but on the cards. Chiellini was not warned against Napoli and Udinese, but we have Koulibaly booked. Pjanic had to be expelled in Milan and yesterday Benatia was saved.

"Koulibaly in Florence in the decisive match caused a penalty and got a yellow card, then with VAR a penalty and a red, as per regulation, and no one spoke about it in Naples. Why can Juve not play in 10 men?," Chiariello concluded.
