Ringhio Gattuso Leggenda Rossonera

Описание: Ringhio Gattuso Leggenda Rossonera Gattuso was bought by AC Milan for €8 Million. His style allowed Milan manager Carlo Ancelotti to place midfielder Andrea Pirlo in a more attacking position as Gattuso plays deeper in midfield. He will often move forward to win the ball for the forward players and then return to his defensive position. His style of play is characterised by fierce tackling and hard work — a style which has earned him the nickname of Ringhio (Growl). He signed a contract extension in June 2003[2] and in October 2004.[3]

He played his 300th game for the club in a goalless Champions League draw against Lille on 26 September 2006, and he extended his current deal with Milan until 2011 on 1 February 2007.[4] On 23 May 2007, Gattuso won the Champions League for the second time in his career when Milan beat Liverpool 2--1 in the final.

On 27 December 2007, Gattuso trained with his former club Rangers to regain fitness during the Serie A winter break whilst his wife was visiting family in Scotland over Christmas.[5] The following December, Gattuso suffered a torn Anterior cruciate ligament early on in the 1--0 league win against Catania. However, despite the injury, Gattuso played the entire 90 minutes before being diagnosed by the club doctors after the match. He underwent surgery to repair the damage on 19 December 2008, in Antwerp. He was expected to miss up to 6 months of action, but managed to return to the Milan bench on 10 May against Juventus, a month ahead of schedule.

It was confirmed by AC Milan on the 14 December 2009 that Gattuso would remain a Milan player until 30 June 2012, after adding one more year to his current contract.[6]

The 2010-11 Serie A season with Milan was one of Gattuso's best seasons of his career, ending a three year goal drought, with his left footed strike outside the box being the only goal against Juventus F.C. on March 5, 2011. Gattuso later celebrated another goal in a 4-1 victory v.s. Cagliari Calcio with a long distance header with the goalkeeper off his line. Gattuso celebrated AC Milan's 18th Scudetto victory after a scoreless draw against A.S. Roma.

Gattuso had been experiencing vision problems in early September 2011, a few days before the season kicked off.[7] On September 9, 2011, Gattuso clashed with team-mate Alessandro Nesta whilst playing against Lazio in Milan's opening Serie A game of the 2011-12 season. He was substituted off directly afterwards (in the 20th minute) and diagnosed with paralysis of the sixth cranial nerve, resulting in diplopia in Gattuso's left eye,[8] an injury that despite his own determination may spell the end of his football career. He later revealed that he had seen team-mate Zlatan Ibrahimovic in four different positions during the opening stages of the match, and was unable to see Nesta, resulting in the pair's clash.[7] On Friday, May 11, 2012, he confirmed that he would be leaving Milan at the end of the season.
