"The team has done its duty, the guys have to fight for the jersey"

AC Milan boss Gennaro Gattuso congratulated his team for the character presented in Saturday's 1-0 win over Lazio at San Siro.

In an expected case, the penalty of Franck Kessie 11 minutes of the decisive time was decisive.

The result means that Milan have six points ahead of Lazio and, although Aquile has a game to play, the Rossoneri have a better record in head-to-head.

"To play against Lazio, you have to take this approach. It takes rhythm, technique and fitness, "Gattuso told DAZN (via Football Italia).

"We had already shown Juve a week ago that we were improving, while tonight we won the battle in the middle of the field and did well to bring her home. The team did its duty.

"Guys have to fight for the jersey. The coaches come and go, the club stays. It was our duty to perform well and to congratulate these guys who, despite their young age, give everything. Negative moments are inevitable, but we are back to victory. "

Gattuso also spoke about the fight that took place after the final whistle, while Luiz Felipe and Fabio Borini clashed.

"I even hurt my thigh running to calm everyone! I was on the bench, I saw words flying between sets of players. The important thing is that it ends there.

"When I was a player, that kind of thing motivated me, but now I see him with different eyes and I'm too old for that. Plus, if I slap a slap, I'll most likely get one and they've all been to the gym more than me.

Rino provided an update on Alessio Romagnoli and Davide Calabria, who both limped at the same time.

"No, it was nothing muscular for Romagnoli, he just had a shot and could not bend the muscle, so he asked to be replaced."
