Gattuso The Warrior

Career
Gattuso was a aggresive, winner and hard tackling player during his time in Ac Milan. Gattuso started off his career at Perugia but he didnt stay long there. He transfered to Rangers in Scotland in 1997 as a 19 year old. Gattuso didnt feel right at home at Rangers because the coach played him out of position. He was forced to play right back some games. After a season at Rangers he got transfered back to Italy for the newly promoted Serie A club, Salernitana for 4 million euros. He stay there wasnt to long too, he stayed there for a season before he joined Rossoneri for 8 million euros in 1999. Gattuso played deeper in midfield. He will often move forward to win the ball for the forward players and then return to his defensive position. His style of play is characterised by fierce tackling and hard work. Gattuso played his 300th game for the club in the goaless draw Vs Lille in Champions League. After 13 years at Milan our legendary number 8th decided to roundoff his amazing career at Sion Fc in Switcherland.


Titles in Ac Milan
Two Serie A titles ( 2004 and 2011)
Two Champions League titles ( 2003 and 2007)
One copa Italia ( 2003)
Fifa club world cup (2007)



Injuries
Gattuso had been experiencing vision problems in early September 2011, a few days before the season kicked off. On September 9, 2011, Gattuso clashed with team-mate Nesta when playing against Lazio. He was substituted off directly afterwards (in the 20th minute) and diagnosed with paralysis of the sixth cranial nerve. He later revealed that he had seen team-mate Zlatan Ibrahimovic in four different positions during the opening stages of the match, and was unable to see Nesta, resulting in the pair's clash.

We will always remember Gattuso as a legend and for what he had accomplised. Always a warrior on the pitch ready to give a 100% each game.
Thank you for everything Gennardo Gattuso!
