Gattuso: “What Quaratsheglia is doing is like seeing George Best again”

Gennaro Gattuso compared Kvitsa Kvarachelia to the legendary George Best, but also spoke highly of Victor Osimen and referred to Napoli’s encounter with Milan in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Napoli are by far the hottest team in Europe’s top five leagues since the start of the season. Luciano Spalletti’s side are enjoying a 23-2-2 record and are galloping towards the Scudetto with 11 games remaining before the season, already 19 points adrift of the second Lazio final.

Of course, a large part of the success of the Partenopei’s great season is due to the spacemen Kvaratthelia – Osimen, with the former being involved in 30 goals of his team in Serie A and the Champions League (14 goals – 16 assists), the latter having the best season in the Championship and already has 21 goals in 23 league games.

Both the Georgian and Nigerian have earned the respect of the entire sports-loving public and praise has poured in from footballers, with the latest to publicly express his admiration for them being former Napoli coach Gennaro Gattuso.


“When I see Kvarachelia it’s like seeing George Best again. He’s doing amazing things with incredible speed. Napoli are a team that I’m really excited about, they play dream football.” Gattuso stressed in an interview he gave to radio station RadioRai1, adding:

“Osimene did well in Lille and Giudoli made a great move to bring him to Napoli. When I was there as a coach I missed him for several months through injury and his absence cost us something.”

He is very fast and has technique. But Napoli isn’t just Kvarachelia or Osimen, there’s also Lobotka, who has done his best since my time at the club.”

Referring to the Champions League draw where Napoli faced AC Milan in the quarter-finals, ‘Ringio’, who has served AC Milan both as a player and as a coach, said:

“Napoli have been playing great football for two years but the games are different in Europe. It will be an open game. It makes sense that Napoli now have a winning mentality, they play calmly and express European football.”

Incredibly, Mourinho, he sang it to Kvaratshelias and was hugging and kissing him within 10 seconds

An incredible scene took place in the first 45 minutes of the Roma-Napoli game in which Jose Mourinho first theatrically cheered Kvaratshelias and then hugged and kissed him within ten seconds.

Incredible scene in Rome – Napoli where Jose Mourinho first chants Quaratschelia and then within ten seconds hugs, kisses and talks to him as if he were his father.

In the 37th minute of the game, the Georgian international earned a foul and a yellow card from his opponent, in a phase that took place in front of Mourinho, who insisted that there was not even a foul.

Afterwards, the Portuguese technician initially shouted at Kvaratshelias, telling him that he was just acting, but as he approached Georgianos, he hugged him, kissed him and began talking to him in a very calm tone while the two men found each other. A little later, the recording showed Mourinho having a very friendly chat with Osimen.
