He made Italy win by his Skill full Goals
Gennaro "Rino" Ivan Gattuso (born January 9, 1978 in Corigliano Calabro) is an Italian World Cup winning footballer. His position is a defensive midfielder. He currently plays for A.C. Milan, with whom he won the UEFA Champions League in the season 2002/2003 and "Scudetto" in the 2003/04 season
Gattuso started his career at the Italian side Perugia, but transferred in July 1997 at the age of 19 to the Scottish team Rangers. Gattuso won the admiration of Rangers fans while in Glasgow, and his 'ultra-aggressive' playing technique has been put down to the training he received there. He also credits the one-time Rangers manager Walter Smith as a great influence, and describes him as a 'second father'.
Smith's successor as Rangers manager, Dick Advocaat, did not favour Gattuso. After being played 'out-of-position' as a right-back, Gattuso was sold in October 1998 to Salernitana for £3m.
Milan spent £8m on Gattuso in 1999. His footballing ability has improved since moving to a more pass-orientated Milan side. His style allowed Milan manager Carlo Ancelotti to place the attacking Andrea Pirlo to adopt a defensive formation. Gattuso, who sometimes is listed as a winger, does not send too many crosses like a typical winger would normally send. Instead, Gattuso plays a deeper role and moves up to the center of the field in defence. He often moves forward to win the ball for the forward players, and then returns to his defensive position.
In December 2005, at the final whistle of Milan's 3-2 defeat of Schalke 04 in the UEFA Champions League, Gattuso was seen seeking out and taunting Schalke's midfielder Christian Poulsen[2] as a reaction to Poulsen's taunting (and hindering) of Kakà in the first leg. Gattuso insisted that the press blew his comments way out of proportion. However, his temper occasionally gets the best of him; in a Champions League group stage match against AFC Ajax in September 2003, he was sent off in the midst of second-half injury time after backhanding Ajax striker Zlatan Ibrahimović in the face.
The British press has also often stated his alleged wish to join Manchester Utd, although Gattuso has often publicly denounced these rumours. [2], stating "I am certain that I will remain at AC Milan and that I will play in Serie A next season.".
He played his 300th game for Milan in a 0-0 Champions League draw against Lille on September 26, 2006.
He is a very hard working player, always in the thick of the action. i would happily have him on my team!
He stinks all what he does is trip over other players thats all he sucks!
It was him who brought Gerrard down in the 2005 European Cup Final which gave Liverpool a penalty and Alonso scored the third goal from the rebound of the said penalty.
His dodgy Facial hair and he bares his teeth when going in for a tackle.
He's a work horse in the middle and usually brings the best of himself to the field. He is passionate about the sport. He won the FIFA World Cup 2006 with Italy and the UEFA Champions League with AC Milan. His defects are a bad temper which comes from most people in Calabria and doesn't have great ball control.
Hilarious.

.they probably marvel because.and they say something like this:
".with all the prima donnas in today's games, isn't it refreshing to get a player that goes in hard, and does the hard stuff.
"gets the 50/50 balls"
"gattuso - not the most skillful, or the prettiest player.but he's one of the most valuable out there today"
.that pretty much sums him up.then they'll mention his nickname : "the animal" - cos he'll go in like an animal on every tackle, and what he lacks in ball control and skill, he makes up with effort.
good luck to him.don't like him, but u have to respect his effort. workhorse.and doesn't matter who he's playing, serie a or division 3.
- hope this helps.
He is a beast.. he will break your neck in a tackle and not even get a foul called on him.. he doesnt have good ball skills but can steal the ball and put his team on the counter attack.. his bad temper makes up for his lack of skill
hes pretty much the Italian equivilent to Michael ''Mad Dog'' Essien
An Italian who plays with the passion of a Scot. Superb player
a lot of them call him "pitbull" because he is a little bit more agressiv than the other devensiv midlfieldplayers.
but at the WC u could see, that he got more fouls, than he did
I love him, he is a little bit agressiv yes but he does it for milan and for his team, he is a real teamplayer, if someone fouls a milanplayer u can be shure that a few minits later gattuso will foul him
that`s one of his strenghts
MILAN ROCKS
gattuso is a beast.
he works hard, even when he is tired, still runs fast, and fights till the end.
he is VERY aggressive, charges 50/50 balls, plays the ball, not the man, like other soccer players, and is an all around good midfielder.
While the rest of AC Milan team fix their hair and practise tricks, Gattuso is doing the dirty work that gives them the ball.
i have nothing to against him. But from what i see the way he plays.looks hardworking
italian charm. sheer cheekyness, sheer class, flipping quality player. unstopable
look his ugly face.
he's ugly
I like him cause he plays with so much fire and passion, he's a hot head.
He is very skillfull and a good playmaker. He is also very intimidating and could beat the crap out of you.
The man is fearless. He is a modern-day warrior on the football pitch!
I watched him throughout the World Cup and it never ceased to amaze me what lengths he would go to to get the ball from the opponent, in my opinion, that is what makes him an excellent player. I have seen him go flying into the boundaries of the pitch and some other really crazy things all in an effort to regain possession.
I think the fact that he plays for AC Milan speaks for itself, they are a spectacular club, and spectacular clubs are made up of spectacular players.
Fearless.. Tireless.. Hardworking..
His behaviour hahaha
because he's the best! :) everyone loves him cause hes crazy and his craziness makes us laugh. i LOVE when he gets mad, its so funny. :) i love him, hes a really good player. he is really determined and into what he does, not like those players who act like they dont care. you can tell he cares. his expressions tells all. :) he gets really mad when they lose and really happy when they win. :D
he is awesome. he is so devoted and is a really good soccer player. :) i love him!!
i cant believe your even asking that question he is a fantastic player.
He runs and never stops. He is brave and strong. He is the champion of the world!
