Visiting a press conference this Thursday, Gennaro Gattuso said all the good things he thought of Amine Harit.

Appointed head of Olympique de Marseille after the departure of Marcelino, Gennaro Gattuso is preparing to lead his fourth match on the bench of the Marseille club. With a great poster on the program: a trip to the second in the championship, OGC Nice, this Saturday evening (9 p.m.) for the 9th day of Ligue 1.

On the sidelines of this meeting, the Italian technician was invited to a press conference this Thursday. And the former Napoli coach particularly praised Amine Harit, comparing him in particular to an illustrious Brazilian number 10, Kaka.

“Players who look like him? I can think of Kaka”

“He is a player who must play in the center, in the middle of the field. Whether number 10 or elsewhere, he has a capacity for control which allows him to always be in numerical superiority, Gattuso said. He has a vision worthy of great players. If he improves his physical condition, he still has a lot of room for improvement. He has exceptional abilities that God gave him. Players who look like him? I can think of Kaka, but he had a bigger stride… What makes him unique is his first touch which allows him to kill the game.”
