Gennaro Gattuso had some rather, um, specific advice for his young striker Patrick Cutrone.
#Gattuso: "We are taking it easy on #Cutrone. He must not get distracted by the fact that he is the youngest player in #ACMilan's history to score that many goals. He has to work and to rest. I hope he finds a beautiful girlfriend so he can rest and make love"#MilanSampdoria

It’s good to see that Gattuso doesn’t want to burn out his young striker out so early in his career, even if he might be the best striker for Milan right now. And while it’s amusing to see Gattuso’s advice about his personal life, the point remains that Cutrone does need to rest and figure out a good balance between his personal life and football.
