Gennaro Gattuso believes Milan “are on the right track” after a 3-1 loss to Real Madrid, but Gonzalo Higuain “isn’t enough.”
Pipita found the back of the net with his first shot in a Rossoneri jersey, a ferocious daisy-cutter into the far top corner from outside the box.
It was a temporary equaliser in the Trofeo Santiago Bernabeu friendly on Saturday evening.

“Last season our biggest problem was that we played some attractive football without bringing home a result, and now we’ve got the same regrets, so it’s something we need to improve,” said the Coach in his Press conference.
“We’ve got to avoid conceding goals at the end of each half. It was a good performance overall, the side is in good shape and plays well. In general, I am happy, as we have strengthened this summer.
“It’s true the gap with Juventus remains very large, but we are young and on the right track. If we continue like this, I don’t think it’ll take long to bridge that gap.”
Higuain left Scudetto winners Juve for a new experience at Milan, but Gattuso warns the Argentina international isn’t the cure to all ills.
“We’re going nowhere if we just rely on one player, even if it is Higuain. It’s not enough. In order to be credible, you have to do the work throughout the week, encouraging your teammates and not insulting them. I’ve seen all of that since he arrived here.”
