An explanation for Gennaro Gattuso’s controversial statement

“I have been saying for some time that it is not a physical problem, not a tactical problem, but it is a mental question. We cannot take the lead in the 90th minute and then concede a goal like that. On our first goal, we conceded after two or three minutes. It’s hard to explain. Honestly, I don’t know how to coach a team like this.”

. This is what Gennaro Gattuo said on the microphone Canal + Moments after a disappointing draw (2-2) against Shakhtar Donetsk in the first leg of the Europa League play-offs.

A statement that did not fail to provoke a reaction from Olympian supporters, shocked by such an admission of helplessness. Yes, but here we are, translating the Italian technician’s last sentence changes the situation somewhat. Indeed, according to Eurosport

Gattuso’s words (Editor’s note: when he said: “I don’t know how to coach a team like this”) was not about the team himself but about the team when he had mental problems. An important clarification, even if the fate of the transalpine is still debated on cannabis.
