Nerves close to the skin in the final of Napoli-Lazio. Gattuso lashed out at a member of the Lazio bench who would have called him a southerner.
At the end of the match, the Napoli coach provided the following explanation to Sky Sport microphones.
“It was a real match. In all senses. In Italy there are no more fake games, they all play with a knife between their teeth.
What happened? I deserved expulsion. I felt something I didn't like and I reacted badly in my turn. I shouldn't have done it so I tell you I deserved expulsion.
But these are things that happen in football, nothing special. Now our head is only in Barcelona. We will look for the company ".
After Gattuso, Inzaghi also spoke of the great nervousness that was seen at the San Paolo between the Napoli and Lazio players in the final minutes.
And he immediately softened the tone:
“We didn't want to finish fourth, we knew Atalanta were losing and we wanted to finish third, there was a bit of nervousness. With Gattuso there is no problem, even if we haven't met yet.
These things happen. In these days there have been many exchanges of views.
There was something between one of his collaborators and one of my collaborators, but they are things that are resolved at the end of the game. These are scenes that should not be seen but on the pitch it happens, it has happened to me before ”.
In the post-match of Napoli-Lazio, the Biancocelesti's coach Simone Inzaghi, from the microphones of Sky Sport, talks about the great nervousness, with hints of brawl on the pitch, seen at the San Paolo between the players of Napoli and Lazio in the final minutes of the match.
"We close the championship in fourth place and certainly we could have done better for how we were placed before the break – says Inzaghi -. But it doesn't detract from the championship we played.
But it does not detract from the children's championship. We have left Naples, Milan and Rome behind, very well equipped opponents. We have been together for 4 years, we need to improve where we can. We will have to try to make an excellent progress in the Champions League and restart in the right way ".
What is Inzaghi's biggest regret?
"I think that in the week of Bergamo I went there without 6-7 players, of which 5 are owners – he replies –
It is normal that we could suffer from some problems, I found myself without several important players. The regret is not having been able to play on par with the others after the break ”. (source ANSA, YouTube video).
