WIN AT LUDOGORETS

Gennaro Gattuso Ludogorets Milan Europa League
A 3-0 away win might satisfy most coaches, but the Serie A side's boss was left "angry" despite a positive result

Gennaro Gattuso refused to revel in AC Milan's 3-0 away win at Ludogorets, claiming his side could and possibly should have played better.
Milan took a commanding lead in their Europa League last-32 tie as Patrick Cutrone, Ricardo Rodriguez and Fabio Borini found the net in Bulgaria, extending the Rossoneri's unbeaten start to 2018.
But Gattuso was far from satisfied with the victory due to his belief that the result did not reflect the visitors' poor performance.
"I wouldn't call it the perfect performance as we could have played better, even if it's always difficult in Europe," he told Sky Sport Italia .
"Ludogorets could have caused us problems, but we are holding on tight to this 3-0 result. I don't think it's a fair reflection of the game, because we could have done so much better.
"I am actually angry, as we didn't develop our attacking moves properly.
"What does reassure me is the growing confidence in the team, even among those who do not play as much. I want everyone to be ready and in good shape when called upon."
And Gattuso was in no mood to discuss his future, refusing to be drawn in on speculation that he will be offered a contract extension at San Siro.
"I am just enjoying the dream of being Milan coach at the age of 40," he said. "I have a lot to learn.
"We will see what happens, but the important thing is not whether or not Gattuso is on the bench. What matters is Milan.
"I have been given this great chance. It is an immense honour and a dream that I hope will last as long as possible."
Gattuso and Milan currently sit seventh in the Serie A table and are slated to take on sixth-placed Sampdoria in the league on Sunday.

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

Babajide made a Stunning Revelation about the Forthcoming Governorship Election in Edo State

Babajide a veteran journalist, while speaking on the popular program “Journalist Hangout” on TVC news Friday August 7, made a stunning revelation about the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state, says all political parties should shown violence because election is not a do or die affair. Babajide while reacting said “ I have to say I have my fears about these forthcoming election, and I hope my fears does not come past. As we can see the shenanigans in Edo state it is now visible that it is no more Oshiomole against Obaseki, it is now PDP against APC which could be devastating in the light of the politics going on now. Obaseki himself divided the APC, because all the lawmakers in Edo state belong to the APC but he divided them by inaugurating some lawmakers, and refusing to inaugurate others. Right now as it stands 17 lawmakers have decided to align with the APC and just 7 lawmakers is with the Governor. For me I think Obaseki should have averted these problem by just issuing a...
