Gattuso unhappy with Gonzalo Higuain after European exit

AC Milan’s European dreams ended with a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Greek giants Olympiacos and there was an air of disappointment in the dressing room in the wake of the defeat. Milan are currently 4th in the Serie A standings, 20 points behind leaders Juventus with a game in hand.

And manager Gennaro Gattuso was less than impressed with his talismanic striker Gonzalo Higuain for failing to propel the team to the knockout stages of the Europa League. Higuain has now failed to score in his last six games across all competitions.

I’ve spoken to Gonzalo, and he’s the first to be disappointed by the situation,” Gattuso said in his press conference on Monday.

“In the period we’re in he needs to give us his experience and character, his goals come after that.

“In difficult times the priority isn’t goals, but leadership, he needs to carry his teammates even if some make mistakes.

“The chatter around him will always be there, we can’t control everything, but I’ve told him that everyone appreciates him, though he has to do more.”

Gattuso also discussed whether or not Gonzalo Higuaín would return next season.

“You’re packaging them up and sending them away. It’s Christmas time, so you’re wrapping them up and putting them under trees.

“All the things you write about the transfer market and Financial Fair Play are things the club hasn’t had to deal with yet.

With Higuain failing to deliver the goods in times of need, it remains to be seen whether Milan triggers his €36 million release clause at the end of the season.
