AC MILAN coach Leonardo says that there is no problems with Gennaro Gattuso and no problems in his rapport with any player.

The Rossoneri are going to face Olympique de Marseille on Wednesday, after nine games without a loss for Italian side. OM are coming strong too, but all the predictors would say three points to Milan.

Gennaro Gattuso will not take part of the encounter due to an injury. There were talks about differences between ‘Rino’ and Leonardo, but the Brazilian coach told that his injury is the only matter to discuss.

“Gattuso’s situation is very clear, I talk with him, now he is injured and we all hope he recovers soon. If there is a problem with him it will be faced at the right time,” Leonardo told the press.

“He has a very good relationship with me and the club, there will never be problems to discuss anything. His only problem is his injury right now and I hope he comes back as soon as possible.

The 40-years-old former midfielder then continued about the other players, referring to Borriello, Seedorf and Inazghi, who have all been a vital part in Milan season so far.

“Borriello? He is doing a check just for security, we will evaluate his situation in the afternoon, I think the decision will be made tomorrow. I’m optimistic because after the match with Cagliari he was calm, but he did feel something, we’ll see and evaluate after today’s training.

“Seedorf? As for the key roles in the team and players who make the difference, there’s always discussion, there are a lot of demands for players like Clarence. But he is a master at keeping his concentration level high, that’s why at his age he is still always able to be decisive.

“He has based his career on attention and concentration. Who knows Clarence cannot be surprised by his current shape, his career has been exemplary in how he has handled himself.

The coach added:

“Seedorf in the national team? I can’t talk about this too, but a lot of things have happened in Holland in recent years. If we look at Brazil, one of our players were called up again, but there are two others who deserve it.

“I don’t think Seedorf was ignored, I think that on every decision and every situation there are many factors that have an influence, especially when you talk about the national team.

“Inzaghi? The explanations come by themselves, I always try to talk to the players and explain why I made a certain choice instead of another. On the inside I am very calm with the group, I’m very sincere, not just with Pippo but with everyone. The balance is never easy, but I’m very calm in my relationships.”
