Angry Gennaro Gattuso drops exit hint
Table of Contents
Gennaro Gattuso has reacted furiously to losing his place as a regular starter with AC Milan by demanding a meeting with vice-president Adriano Galliani.
The Italy international, who is under contract with the Rossoneri until June 2011, has seen his minutes on the pitch decrease this term after coach Leonardo changed the side's formation.
The Brazilian coach has made captain Massimo Ambrosini and Andrea Pirlo his first choice midfield pairing, with Mathieu Flamini providing cover.
And with former England captain David Beckham due to arrive in the new year, midfield competition is set to get even tougher for the 31-year-old.
"I am Rino Gattuso and I cannot wait for someone to get injured in order to play," Gattuso told Corriere dello Sport.
"I would be lying if I said that everything is okay. At this time I am not happy because of the injury and the fact that I am not being used much.
"I still feel strong and I am disappointed not to be able to prove it. I don'accept the thought that I am no longer indispensable.
"I will have to talk to the club and with Galliani because its not nice that after 11 years at the club you play once in a while."
The news will alert Manchester City who registered an interest in the combative midfielder in the summer.
