Soccer: Angry Gattuso criticises scheduling of Milan games

Author: Agencies

MILAN: AC Milan coach Gennaro Gattuso is angry that his team will host Parma at lunchtime in Serie A on Sunday, less than 72 hours after playing a Europa League match. Gattuso described the decision as “absurd” on Friday and, although he was calmer in Saturday’s pre-match news conference, the fiery former midfielder said he would have liked more time to prepare for the Parma match. “I’m not against playing at 12.30 pm (1130 GMT) as some have written, I was just questioning the lack of recovery time, given that we played on Thursday evening in the Europa League, without wanting to offend anyone,” he told reporters. Milan are fifth in Serie A, one place and two points ahead of Sunday’s opponents.
