After the draw obtained on the Napoli field, Gattuso spoke to the microphones of DAZN with a satisfied tone, urging the team not to get distracted by the standings. “We shouldn’t look at the standings, now we’ll recover with three days off. Then on Thursday we start again, we need to refuel and not look at anything because we have little to do with those positions.”

The Lazio coach then added: “These kinds of considerations should be made in the last 6-7 matches, now we need to put hay in the barn.” A clear message to the team: focus on daily work, postponing any evaluation of the standings to a more appropriate time.

Gattuso also answered a question about Frattesi‘s performance: “He’s a hardhead, he needs to touch the ball because he feels out of the game. But in my opinion, there are few invaders like him, he should do it more but he gets fixated.” Words that recognize the midfielder’s qualities, while at the same time highlighting a character flaw to be corrected.

On the overall performance, the final judgment is positive: “In the second half we could have scored a few more goals, but we’ll take the performance. Today I am really satisfied.”
