Gennaro Gattuso For many years he was in charge of AC Milan trying to obstruct the work of Xavi in the engine room Barcelona and this Saturday the two will meet again on the bench in the Mestalla clash, an appointment the Italian took advantage of to banish his memories.
“I am very happy to meet him. For many years he played and I ran because it is very difficult to take the ball from Barcelona and he ran little. It was a totally different sport for both of us. I think he will have a Great career. I have a lot of respect for him, a lot of love. For me it will be a pleasure and an honor to meet him tomorrow”, he affirmed. Gattuso.
The technician did not want to delve into the situation of Barcelona After his elimination this week at Champions but he found that until now there are two versions of the Catalan team and they must be measured against the best.

The Italian pointed out that in any case it is a rival with a lot of quality that will be difficult to face but he said that he hopes that his team will not change its courage. “I want the team to follow their style of play, but it’s normal, we’ll see how Barcelona play, how they create, the players they have. My team’s mentality and style will not change, I’m sure,” he said.
“Every game scares me. La Liga is not easy. Everyone thinks that Barcelona will win easily. Against Athletic in 25 minutes they have three goals. You have to respect your opponent but the game starts to a goalless draw and we were eleven against eleven,” he said. In addition, he emphasized that Barça “is not only” Lewandowski.
“When you play these games you don’t need to say. History speaks a lot of positive things about Barcelona players, the game prepares itself. It is more difficult to prepare a game against Elche,” he said .
Gattuso already indicated Eray Comert He was available but gave no hints as to how he would supply the midfield casualties. Of course, he is sure that the good entrance expected at the Mestalla will help them.
“I have played five or six times with Milan at the Mestalla and there is always a good atmosphere. Tomorrow there will be 45,000 people and that should give us strength, but all the games we have played here have had a good atmosphere and it is something to be proud of”, he admitted.
