I can only say 'congratulations' to the referee or 'good goal' to Pippo Inzaghi," he continued.[LNB]"Paolo Maldini speaks English and there is also Gennaro Gattuso, who speaks a language of his own, but I understand him perfectly.[LNB]"One thing is for sure - there are many players in Europe and the world that would pay out of their own pocket to play at a club like Milan.[LNB]"So I would have done anything to stay here until the end of the season."[LNB]
