Hakan Calhanoglu said Milan boss Gennaro Gattuso “changed me, he tells me to play free of pressure.”
The summer signing had struggled to adapt to Serie A under Vincenzo Montella, but has flourished since Gattuso took over.
“Gattuso changed me,” confessed Calhanoglu to Calciomercato.it.
“He talks to me so much and tells me to play free of pressures in my mind. He’s a great Coach, and has changed the mentality of the club.”
