This Thursday at a press conference, Gennaro Gattuso praised the qualities of Amine Harit as a central player.

Having become one of the darlings of the Stade Vélodrome since his arrival atOlympic Marseille, Amine Harit impresses at the start of the season despite returning from a cruciate ligament rupture.

Gattuso praises Harit

This Thursday, the 26-year-old received praise from his coach at a press conference, the latter being convinced that he must play in the center. “Harit, we talked about it before the match against Le Havre. He is a player who must play in the middle. He can play on the side but go inside. In number 10, he has a vision of the game of the greatest players. If he manages to improve his physique, he will be able to go far. God gave him exceptional abilities; In Monaco, I played him on one side but he must be in the middle”he explained.

To support his words, the Italian technician did not hesitate to compare Harit to other former great number 10s of AC Milan. “Harit is a special player. Kaka had a longer stride, Rui Costa it was different. He has a stride that allows him to kill actions”, assured Gattuso. The Olympian attacking midfielder will have the opportunity to shine again on Saturday on the pitch of theOGC Nice for the 9th day of Ligue 1. On the pitch of the second and only undefeated team in the championship, the Phocaeans hope to achieve a second consecutive success for the first time this season in the championship.
