AC Milan coach Rino Gattuso has played down his influence on striker Krzysztof Piatek.

Piatek is set to start today against Inter Milan.

Gattuso said: “The difference has to be made by the collective, not just him. I've seen very few players in my lifetime who can win a game by themselves. We are not in that situation, so any victory comes through the team.

“I don't talk to Piatek much, as he's not one for chatting. He's starting to smile a bit more now, as for the first few days I thought he was angry with me! He likes to work hard, comes in for training even on days off, and he knows what he's doing."
