Gennaro Gattuso did not really appreciate Lazio’s performance despite the victory obtained on the lawn of Venice (2-0). While his team joins Roma and Inter at the top of Serie A with 13 points and made the best start to the season in the club’s history, the Italian coach delivered a particularly harsh analysis at the microphone of Sky Sport. “ Today the interpretation of the match was wrong. If Venice had led 1-0 at halftime, no one would have been able to say anything. In the second half we scored, but we were very lucky “, he blurted. Mandas notably saved a penalty from Yeboah before Zaccagni and Noslin gave the Biancocelesti victory after the break.
Gattuso therefore refuses to get excited about the ranking and demands much more from his group. “ If we want to create a surprise, we have to play well. Don’t look at the rankings », he insists, while praising the investment of his players after a difficult preparation and an early elimination in the Italian Cup. The technician also recalled the circumstances of his arrival in Rome: “ Without this fiasco, I would never have come to Lazio. I almost signed two or three times and I always said no to Lotito. I finally accepted because I knew it was a place where I could work and where I would find motivated players. »
