Gattuso’s new Milan are to be feared says former striker

Andriy Shevchenko has said that Genaro Gattuso’s new AC Milan side are to be feared by Arsenal, as per The Daily Mail.

Arsenal are in Milan now, ready to face the Rossoneri at the San Siro in the first leg of the Europa League Round of 16.

Gattuso has taken temporary charge of his former club, and has helped them rise to seventh in the Italian Serie A, being unbeaten in their last 13 games in all competitions, and not conceding a goal since the first week of February.

Therefore, Milan have many reasons to be optimistic, especially added to the fact that Arsenal’s first choice right back Hector Bellerin has not travelled to Milan due to a knee injury.

Andriy Shevchenko, who spent seven years playing at the San Siro for AC Milan, and is the second all-time record goalscorer for them, said in a recent interview (via The Daily Mail):

Rino has really changed the face of Milan and changed the mentality of the players.

Shevchenko was a teammate of Gattuso and knows the club very well, and knows how much of a struggle it will be for Arsenal. Milan look to stretch their unbeaten run, while Arsenal have lost eight matches this calendar year so far.
