Three wins out of three. Who would have expected it? Gennaro Gattuso has made the perfect start to the Serie A season with Lazio, responding to the bitter disappointment of being eliminated in the Coppa Italia round of 32 against Mantova at the Olimpico. Milan will be the visitors to face the Biancocelesti on Saturday.
Gattuso chasing a record
No Lazio manager has ever managed to win their first four games in the top flight, and Gennaro Gattuso can achieve that feat on Saturday if he beats Milan as well. So far, he has matched the starts made by Vladimir Petkovic in 2012 and Tommaso Maestrelli in 1974.
His words about his former club
“Since I was a child, I remember the celebrations after Steaua with my father. For me, it has always been a source of pride and a dream that lasted 12 years. At this moment, all the affection and joy cannot be forgotten, but today I have a different job, and on Saturday I hope to pick up points against the team of my heart.”
