Stephen Appiah has revealed that ex-Italy and AC Milan star Genaro Gattuso is the toughest opponent he has ever faced during his playing times.

Appiah recounted his ordeal playing against Gatusso during his days with Udinese in a game against Salernitana.

The former Ghanaian international revealed that the young Gatusso was so strong that it was very difficult to play against.

"The toughest player I faced was Gennaro Gattuso and that was when I played for Udinese. We faced Salernitana, a team from the Southern part of Italy and that was where Gattuso was playing at the time," Appiah told Betway in an Instagram Live chat with fans.

"He was so difficult to play against and he even broke my tooth by the time match came to an end. He just would not allow you to go away with the ball.

"He was really the toughest among the likes of Emerson, Demetrio Albertini, and the many others I came up against.”

Gattuso was an integral member of the Italian team that won the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany.
