Gattuso on discovering his players

“I already know the players, I like to follow the players. To give just one name would be to harm the others. All the players surprised me. Leo (Balerdi) and Chancel (Mbemba) for example had a great match against Brighton. If we continue like this week after week, we have a lot of room for improvement.”

14:32

Gattuso sur Harit

“He’s a great player. He can play in the corridors and can be freer in midfield. He’s very intelligent, he’s a quiet leader. He talks, follows and sees the football. He’s coming off injury but brings us in terms of quality. He can really become a complete player. Seeing football proves the love he has for his work.”

14:29

Gattuso on the mental aspect

“We work with a lot of intensity, attention must improve. We managed to take the advantage without winning, everyone is working on the mental aspect. This way, we will manage to obtain good results through following”.

14:27

Gattuso on his lack of victory

“I would give both arms to win the match tomorrow. The objective must be victory, I hope it will happen tomorrow. The players know that they will have to fight against a team that is difficult to play against. This will be fundamental for the atmosphere and to tackle these two weeks of preparation.”

14:25

Gattuso on repeated player injuries

“I think we don’t talk about physical condition. I don’t want the players to think about it too much either. There is room for improvement, you have to be ready for 90-95 minutes, you have to be very careful about training. There may be injuries. We have 10-11 important days to train intensely. With the attitude of my players, we can do it because they have shown great availability.”

14:21

Gattuso takes stock of the fitness of his players

“We can’t do anything about it, we’re not going to cry. We lose Gigot just before the match, I hope he comes back within a week and Veretout within ten players. We can’t think with all that, a big match awaits us. He’s a very physical opponent, who gets into us. Kondogbia, he’s been training with us for two days, he should be available. Correa hasn’t trained , we’ll see”.

Harit on match scheduling

“I was a little shocked, teams that play on Tuesday or Wednesday or that don’t have European competition can play at that time. I don’t know who makes the decisions and how. It would be more logical to make us play later. The rest of the players is not too important, unlike what concerns the TV.”

14:15

Harit on the events of recent weeks

“At Schalke, I coached 10 times in 3 or 4 years. To tell you that it didn’t have an impact would be to lie. When we don’t know who will coach us the next day… We managed to show a conquering face. I think it was managed rather well. Everyone must stay in their place and do what is asked of them.”

14:11

Green on Aubameyang

“He’s a very, very great player. The stats speak for him, I think he wasn’t in difficulty at all. He wasn’t used much, we were also in difficulty, he needs to support, the contribution of the team. When he has a lot of it, there is no doubt that he will score.”

14:09

Harit on physical preparation

“Our season started very early with the qualifying matches for the C1. The preparation was not normal, that does not call into question the work of the previous staff. We lacked freshness, we found a good physical level. Over time, we will see if the work done is good.

I feel good, better and better, in the last matches it showed. I don’t set a goal. On the Amsterdam and Brighton match, I’m not far from being very, very good.”

14:06

Harit sur Gattuso

“He is someone who sends a lot of positive things, with Sampaoli we were used to this energy. He came with his past, he brings a lot of good things. The work bore fruit in the last match.

It sends important signals for a group, it works with affection, with the little things that make a group live well. Since he arrived, there has been something new, which bodes well for the future.”

14:03

Harit on injuries in the squad

“We have a fairly large squad, there is the return of Kondogbia. It’s a shame to have lost Jordan, I think we have a quality squad and that we have the players we need.”

14:02

Harit on his fitness

“It was more fear than harm. I was really scared at the time. There won’t be any problem tomorrow.”

OM translator denounces sexist remarks

Translator for several football clubs, the Franco-Mexican Alessia Hughes Enriquez works in particular for OM. She was the one who did the last translations of Gennaro Gattuso’s press conferences. Victim of sexist comments on social networks, she spoke in an Instagram story.

“No hard feelings towards the people of Marseille. For those who still think that complimenting a girl on her physique necessarily involves vulgarity, there is still a long way to go! Thank you to those who denounced this behavior live, it is a respectful attitude that I hope to instill in my son as he grows up,” she wrote.
