Gennaro Gattuso spoke to the media before the Coppa Italia semifinal today against Lazio.
Gennaro Gattuso pours praise on his entire #ACMilan squad but reminds them to play with ‘great humility’ vs #Lazio tomorrow https://t.co/hCqJqYC6s6 #LazioMilan #CoppaItalia pic.twitter.com/l7xTY0uSrI

Gattuso told Rai Sport:
We’re certainly in a good run of form, but we’re facing a team who have become a stalwart of Italian football,
We have great respect for Lazio and we know we have a difficult game to face, but we’ll certainly contest it with great humility.
Gattuso never seemed to play with humility, but then again, he’s different as a manager than he was as a player. He’s a little calmer, although not by much, but you’d still back if things kicked off.
