Gennaro Gattuso also took the opportunity to talk about the winter transfer window. “We have three recruits at the moment, including a player who is still at the CAN. I am a coach and not an accountant or banker. If another player arrives, so much the better. Otherwise, I would do my job regardless of the workforce,” underlined the former midfielder, before giving way to president Pablo Longoria, who came to present Ulisses Garcia.
