Milan, 18 December (LaPresse) – "Few Italians between Milan and Naples? We know that lately the average is 23/24% of Italians playing in the Italian league. It's useless to feel sorry for ourselves. Let's look ahead; returning to the World Cup is a goal for our entire country. We mustn't waste our energy because we have a lot at stake in three months' time.‘ These were the words of Gennaro Gattuso, coach of the national team, speaking to Sportmediaset a few minutes before the Italian Super Cup semi-final between Napoli and Milan. ’Bartesaghi in the national team? Why not… he's doing very well. He, Palestra and Zaniolo are all doing well,‘ he added. Speaking about the match between the Rossoneri and the Azzurri, Gattuso, who has played for both teams, concluded: ’It's an open game between two well-organised teams that defend very well. They are well organised, so it's difficult to say who will win."
