Gattuso was particularly impressed by his team's reaction after their disappointing Coppa Italia defeat to Mantova in August. He believes the players are adapting well to the changes he has introduced since taking charge. The Biancocelesti fell behind to Jesper Karlstrom's second-half opener but responded with goals from Davide Frattesi and Albert Gudmundsson to secure all three points.
Gattuso dismantled everything compared to last year, when there was a master of the 4-3-3, and is trying to do something different. He also credited President Claudio Lotito and sporting director Angelo Fabiani for their work in the transfer market, saying Lazio completed a campaign that had initially appeared unlikely.
Gattuso will now prepare for an emotional meeting with Milan, the club where he spent 12 years as a player.
