Lazio and AC Milan draw 2-2 as Gennaro Gattuso disputes club objectives

Lazio coach Gennaro Gattuso expressed dissatisfaction following a 2-2 draw against AC Milan at the Stadio Olimpico on September 13. Lazio held a two-goal lead at halftime behind goals from Matteo Cancellieri and Tijjani Noslin before AC Milan responded with two second-half goals from Diego Moreira. Gattuso criticized his team’s defensive approach after the break, noting they dropped too deep and risked defeat. Outside of the match, the head coach disputed comments from sporting director Angelo Fabiani regarding European qualification, arguing that publicizing such high objectives creates unnecessary pressure on the squad. Gattuso also stated that he believes his past tenures at AC Milan and Napoli helped instill a winning culture that contributed to their subsequent Serie A titles. Supporters accompanied the team bus to the stadium despite maintaining a boycott of home fixtures.
