AC Milan veteran Rino Gattuso has detailed his bust-up with Tottenham coach Joe Jordan.
Gattuso was suspended for four games by UEFA this week.
Jordan has denied Gattuso's claims he called him a "f***ing Italian b***ard," but the midfielder revealed more details of what led up to the row.
"Jordan was shouting and saying "This isn't a pool," referring to Thiago Silva's foul. My motto is 'respect those who show you respect.' I'm a nice guy, but I'm not stupid.
"In these years of my career I have never hurt anyone, so when I went over to Jordan after the game and he took off his glasses as the sign of a challenge, shouting 'f***, f***.'"
