In an interview for the UEFA YouTube channel, Milan’s trainer Gennaro Gattuso named the most valuable player of his time, in his opinion, and rated his colleagues by role..

"Everyone says: Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, but personally I would prefer to play on the same team as Modric," said Gattuso.. - I think he is an amazing player, very psychologically strong, a true football player. ".

"It seems to me that in modern football the role and style of play of central and especially supporting midfielders.

In my time, preference was given to such "beasts" as Edgar Davids, Dennis Wise, Paul Ince - fearless fighters who do not know fatigue. Now look at Paul Pogba and especially Blaise Matyuidi. He never stops, he takes away the balls, is involved in attacks. Sometimes I want to see how I could play against him, but I'm afraid the comparison will not be in my favor. ”.
