The incident at the end of the match AC Milan - Tottenham, from Champions League (0-1), when Gennaro Gattuso hit in the neck Harry Redknapp's assistant, Joe Jordan , could not pass unnoticed by the European football forum. UEFA confirmed on Wednesday that it has begun disciplinary proceedings in the Italian case, and will announce next Monday the possible sanction, taken based on video evidence.Redknapp named Gattuso "crazy", confirming that the two had their first exchange of lines after a tough duel of the Milanese with Steven Pienaar, right in front of the reserves bench of the Hotspurs, all culminating in the assault of the coach after the final whistle . "I do not know why we've reached to this silly incident. Gattuso argued with Joe. He probably did not know Joe, because he could pick anyone else...", said the Londoners manager with tact.
Gattuso admitted that he did not know who Joe Jordan is. "I was very nervous and did not want to argue with any player, so he became my target, because he insulted me . I was wrong and I take full responsibility, " wrote Reuters. Regardless of the UEFA decision, Gattuso can not play the return match in London, scheduled for March 9, as he is suspended for accumulation of cards. He has a contract with AC Milan until next summer.
