AC Milan coach Gattuso admits changing Higuain game

AC Milan coach Rino Gattuso admits he's trying to change Gonzalo Higuain's game.

Higuain proved the matchwinner in victory at Europa League opponents Dudelange.

Gattuso said, "We are all happy when we win, not just Pipita. He had a few more chances and could've had a hat-trick today.

“Higuain has lately always been gravitating towards the penalty spot, whereas at Napoli he scored many more at the near post, the far post. I hope our opponents aren't watching me say this…"

He added: “I know some don't like it and think these are too basic, but I care a lot about positioning, posture, the first touch, it's all crucial.

“I rotated the squad today, but that's not because I thought Dudelange were poor. I did it because I trust these players and saw how they trained during the week. I'm not so foolish as to play someone I don't believe in."
