Gennaro Gattuso says he wants Milan’s Coppa Italia semi-final against Lazio to be ‘an advert for Italian football’.
The two sides brawled at the end of their previous meeting 10 days ago, which the Rossoneri won 1-0, while the tie is finely poised at 0-0 from the first leg in February.
“The matches against Lazio are always very tight,” Gattuso told Milan TV.

The two sides brawled at the end of their previous meeting 10 days ago, which the Rossoneri won 1-0, while the tie is finely poised at 0-0 from the first leg in February.
“The matches against Lazio are always very tight,” Gattuso told Milan TV.
“Reaching another Final would be very important for our season. I hope tomorrow is an advert for Italian football. We want to see a show. We must only think about the pitch.
“I have a great friendship with Simone Inzaghi. We’ll do everything to behave ourselves. We’ll come together on the pitch.”
The Coach was then asked about unlikely rumours linking him with Newcastle United after he dined with super-agent Jorge Mendes.
“I see Mendes often, I like good food and to talk about football,” he explained.
“The rumours about Newcastle are unfounded. I repeat, I only have a great friendship with Mendes.”
