AC Milan coach Gennaro Gattuso
said Wednesday "everything is Ok with (Interior Minister Matteo)
Salvini after the minister criticised his tactics in a 1-1 draw
with Lazio at the weekend, prompting the manager to say the
League leader should stick to politics.
"It's all OK with Salvini. He said it all himself. We
exchanged two texts in the last few hours. He has his problems,
I have mine. We cleared it up and there's nothing ore top say,"
said the former Milan and Italy midfielder.
Speaking on the eve of a Europa League clash with
Luxembourgish side Dudelange, Gattuso said "the row is over".
Salvini said he had been "speaking as a fan" when he said
Gattuso should have replaced some players after Lazio put on
three pairs of fresh legs and were pressing Milan having
equalised.
Gattuso responded by saying "he should stick to politics
because with all the problems we have in this country it means
we're really badly off if the deputy premier starts talking
about soccer".
The former hard-charging midfielder, who has also managed in
Switzerland and Greece, was hailed by some as "the real leader
of he opposition".
