AC Milan coach Gattuso: Higuain needs to do more - as do we

AC Milan coach Rino Gattuso admits he wants more from Gonzalo Higuain.

Higuain has scored two of Milan's last three goals and assisted the other, yet Gattuso isn't satisfied.

He said, “In order to make the most of Higuain's qualities, we need to lift our heads and pick out the right pass. If we start faffing about too much in the build-up, Higuain will get fed up and leave the area to find the ball.

“In this moment, I see Higuain as the best striker in the world. He has always scored goals in his career and we have to give him the right service. Suso needs to go for goal more often too, as he has a fine shot. He mustn't just run with the ball to feet and look for the cross.

“Our biggest problem against Cagliari was the first 20 minutes, as something didn't work between defence and midfield, creating a gap through the middle."
