AC Milan - One Century Of Emotions  DVD

Just awesome to see Gattuso being awarded not only by Galliani but also by his teammates applauding him.  Galliani gave his speech for Gattuso in Milan's channel.

'Here we are to celebrate the 400 official matches of Rino Gattuso... 400 matches made of running, on the pitch and off it, always with a lot of grit, determination, and the utmost love for these  colors. I want to tell you what happened some years ago... In 1998-1999Rino played with Salernitana and was practically already sold to Roma.Then we intervened and since Rino was born in a family full of Milan fans he came to Milanello. I have to thank his father, also because Rino at the time was little more than a lad. Franco Gattuso was decisive in choosing Milan. I hope neither he nor Rino never regretted  this decision.'

SIENA-MILAN: PASSAGGIO DI GATTUSO

AC Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso playing his 400th match for Milan on Saturday, August 22, 2009: AC SIENA 1 - 2 AC Milan.

'Ten years ago' - Adriano Galliani continues - 'Gattuso played his first match with Milan against Chelsea in the Champions  League, in London, in 1999. It finished 0-0. From there to Siena, where  he played his 400th match with these colors, ten seasons have passed.400 matches in 10 years means an average of 40 a year. That's a lot,and it's a tribute to him.'

'What else to say, I hope for him and for me that I'll be hereto reward him for the 500th, 600th, 700th and 800th matches.Compliments Rino, good luck and continue like this because you're doinggreat.'

At this point the first applause of the Milan squad is heard, sincere and heartfelt.
Then the midfielder took the word: 'Getting to 500, 600, 700 will be tough. Let's say I hope to reach 500 games with Milan. The applause of my team mates is nice, if I managed to reach 400 games and reach this target it's also thanks to them (a second applause starts). The next 400 games? There's only one Paolo Maldini...'

Imagine 400 games ... and here is what Gennaro Gattuso has earned with AC Milan during those games:
