Italy secured a 2-0 victory over Northern Ireland, advancing to the World Cup play-off final against Bosnia-Herzegovina.
I actually couldn't even dare to hope for such a clear victory because less than two months earlier, we had changed coaches [Cesare Maldini replacing Zaccheroni] and because the season hadn't gone so well. That win relaunched us.
Gattuso is a symbol of Italian football, the shirt is like his second skin. His motivations, professionalism and experience will be fundamental in taking on the next challenges of the National Team.
