"He is not the most technical player but has a workrate and commitment you admire"

Brian Laudrup fala sobre os tempos em que foi colega de Gattuso, na altura com 19 anos, no Rangers:

“He was a grumpy kid. He couldn’t speak English at first but just moaned in Italian. And in training or games he was like the Tasmanian Devil".

“Gazza had to give him a few slaps to calm him down. Mind you, Gazza did that to everybody. But for all the faults and rough edges, I was glad Gattuso was on my team.”

Within two years, the midfielder had sealed a move to Milan and now Denmark legend Laudrup reckons he will add a Champions League winner’s medal to his CV.

Laudrup added: “Gattuso is a warrior. He is not the most technical player but has a workrate and commitment you admire".
