Gattuso: “The game was very bad”

Valencia coach Gennaro Gattuso said that Friday’s match against Cádiz, which the Valencian team lost 0-1, was “very bad mentally, physically, tactically and technically” and reiterated in the press conference that “there things that are missing” and he is responsible.

Before starting question time, Gattuso declared “I’m sorry for the fan we lost; I’m very sorry, I want to send a big hug to the family and a big hug for a great colleague of mine, Gianluca Vialli, a great person and a great footballer”, he said in reference to the fan who died before the match and the former Italian player.

“The first half was terrible. Things are happening, I think we have only one way to go and certainly my coaching staff and I will understand what we are missing, but now I don’t liked 97 minutes at all, we are not I don’t have any quality of play or thinking and when a team plays like this, I think the responsibility is on the coach. The team can play for three or four hours and not scoring a goal,” he said.

Gattuso said that “at the moment I don’t see any problem with nervousness (because we are close to relegation), knowing that Cádiz is a team with a lot of experience and when we have prepared the game we have said. .. I am not likes to talk about the referee “But, how many minutes have we played today? Just a little, just a little. It’s normal for the team to be angry, but we have to be angry with our game, we can’t say that we lost because of the referee because it’s not true”.

“It is a defeat that is very heavy, because at this moment the shirt weighs, the ball weighs, but I have a duty to solve it. At this moment it is very simple to talk about the experience, but now is the time to change when going in duels , when it’s man against man, to hit… We have to improve all this, hunger. I think hunger is lacking, and it’s my responsibility and I have to change this situation”, concluded Valencia coach.
