The reality is that we have arrived in different situations, but so much in the case of Gattuso as in mine, what treat is to implant our stamp, give him our nuances to the project. This is a process that sometimes takes a bit more or a bit less. In both cases is seeing the identity of what carry inside each one", has added.
