โIโm happy for Chuckyโs brace, but Osimhenโs goal makes me happy because he hasnโt scored so far and he deserved it for the hard work done for the team,โ Gattuso told the clubโs website.
โVictor was my wish and I thank the President for having satisfied me. It wasnโt easy but we have bought a player who is very important to us.โ
Now itโs early, the championship has still begun and moreover we have to live with the virus that has stopped two players so far. We need to be calm and work. Today I saw great commitment and willingness on the part of everyone, even Bakayoko who hadnโt played for months. and who gave everything on the pitch โ
