Happy, but humble. Rino Gattuso takes the first three points at the last breath since he has been on the Napoli bench. He does it at 94 'in the Sassuolo home. "We have not yet recovered, we know we are sick, it was two months since we had won in the championship. The road is long, you have to work, this is a strong team you cannot do miracles in 10 days", he says immediately after the game to dampen the easy enthusiasm.
TACTICS — Work is primarily tactical. "We must have balance, start having fun again. They have done the 4-3-3 for years, we must be shorter, work in the department, as we did in the second half. We must give continuity to the work started for 10 days. We still struggle with the chain movements, in the first half we were static, we miss a player in front of the defense to play in a certain way ". Maybe Fabian Ruiz can be? "It is not a low summit, it must be supported by the team. With the sacrifice its quality will also come out, we must continue to give balance, something that for a long time this team has not had."
RELATIONSHIP WITH PLAYERS - Gattuso is known for his way of dealing with football players. "I like to touch my players physically, it's the only way I know to get into the soul of my players. Maybe some players can bother me when I scream, but I can only work like this (laughs). For many years 70- 80% of these players have written important pages for Napoli, now they are experiencing something they have never experienced. We need to help them and explain what I want to offer, we have to work on the legs and on the body ". The season also passes through the Champions League. Are you already thinking of Barcelona? "It's still a long way off, if I think about it now I get white hair ... let's think about the teams we have to meet before Barcelona."
