Gattuso Reveals Which Star Play He ‘Expects More’ From Against Arsenal

AC Milan will have to turn around a 2-0 aggregate scoreline when they take on Arsenal at the Emirates in the Europa League Last 16 second-leg tie.

The Rossoneri lost the first-leg at the San Siro and face a tough task if they hope to book a place in the quarter-finals.

Turkey international star Hakan Calhanoglu started against the Gunners in the first leg but did not put on an impressive display.

In fact you could say he was rather disappointing.

AC Milan boss Gennaro Gattuso revealed he expects more from his star man and that he has been wasteful recently.

Gattuso said the following before the game: “Hakan satisfies me, he’s doing a little bit less, but he’s helping the team.

“I do expect him more from him, because even in Genoa he had two occasions that had to be goals, he has the talent he needs to produce the results.”

Things could have been so different in the first leg had Calhanoglu gone down for a penalty which he most probably would have won.

The playmaker was praised for his honesty in trying to stay on his feet but ultimately it cost his side heavily as Arsenal scored two goals soon after.

Gattuso said he would have fallen to the ground had he been in the same position.

The AC Milan boss claimed Ospina made contact with his player.

“The possible penalty on Calhanoglu? I would have fell on the ground, he touched him. The contact was there, but it’s ok like this,” Calhanoglu said after the game.

The replays do not show Ospina making clear contact but only by virtue of Calhanoglu jumping out of the way.

It is easy to see how the AC Milan star could legally have won a penalty without being accused of diving.

Calhanoglu is almost certain to start tonight against the Gunners.
