Marco Brescianini admits that Italy legend Gennaro Gattuso was the ‘first coach’ to believe in him.
Brescianini has been called up to the senior Italy national team for the first time for games against France and Israel.
The new Atalanta midfielder held a press conference in Coverciano on Tuesday, revealing his gratitude to Milan and Italy legend Gattuso.
“Coach Gattuso was fundamental, like other coaches I’ve had,” said the Atalanta midfielder.
“He was the first coach who believed in me and helped me understand what playing at a senior level meant. He promoted me and other young players to the Milan first team, and I learned the attitude needed to go forward in this work.”
