Gennaro Gattuso heaped praise on AC Milan after their win over Sampdoria but he refused to dwell on the result, insisting his job "is to be the players' nightmare until the end of the season".
Milan extended their unbeaten run to 10 matches across all competitions thanks to Sunday's 1-0 victory at home to Sampdoria in Serie A.
Giacomo Bonaventura proved to be the difference, his 13th-minute goal seeing Milan close within seven points of city rivals and fourth-placed Inter.
"I will always remain heart and grit. The credit goes to the lads, as they just needed a spark to get them inflamed," Gattuso told Mediaset Premium .
