AC Milan captain Leonardo Bonucci says key to their revival has been the man-management of Rino Gattuso.
Milan earned another three points with victory over Sampdoria yesterday.
Asked about Gattuso, Bonucci declared: "He brought a new methodology of work, a mentality, he knew how to say the right things for who is the starter and who makes the reserve, he keeps the united group, this is the secret.
"Before we were not a team as we are today, we continue to believe in what we do during the week and we have to put it on the pitch on Sunday."
On qualifying for the Champions League, he added: "As long as math does not rule us out, just think about it, we think game by game and believe it, we'll go onto the field every game to win."
