In the match of the 1st round of the group stage of the Europa League, Milan beat the Luxembourg team 1: 0 on the road.

In this match, the head coach of the "Rosso Neri" Gennaro Gattuso rotated, resorting to the help of such infrequent guests of the starting lineup, such as Samuel Castillejo, Andrea Bertolacci, Jose Mauri and T.

According to the coach of Milan, he chose such a composition for the game not out of contempt for the opponent.

"Dudelange did not randomly appear in the group stage of the le. Remember that in the playoffs they beat Cluj, "- began Gattuso.

"I liked how my team reacted to this fight. The outcome of the match could be resolved early, but instead we got involved in an unnecessary physical struggle. Nevertheless, in the end we achieved the necessary result ".

"I changed the lineup not because of Dudelange's weakness, but because I trust the players on the field and saw how hard they worked during the whole week. I would never put those in whom I doubt and in whom I do not believe, "- summed up Gattuso in an interview with Sky Sport Italia.
