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

Published

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.”

Mourinho: ‘I’m tired of being a coach, a communicator and the one who says we’ve been robbed’

While Jose Mourinho expressed his desire to stay at Roma, he also hinted that he was tired of complaining about refereeing.

Roma failed to win the Europa League, while Sevilla celebrated this trophy after beating 4-1 on penalties (1-1 in regular time and extra time).

In the final, Jose Mourinho complained about Anthony Taylor’s refereeing and kicked him in the parking lot. Speaking to Sky Sports, the special adviser explained that he had a desire to continue at Roma but was tired of the general situation.

“I want to stay at Roma but my players earn more and I earn more. I’m a bit tired of being the manager, the communications man, the face of the club who says we’ve been robbed after every game.” I’m tired of having to deal with all fronts.

Next year we won’t play in the Champions League and that’s a good thing because we weren’t cut out for that.

And let’s hope that (referee) Anthony Taylor only officiates games in the Champions League and makes the same mistakes there as here and not in the Europa League. said the Portuguese coach.

Juventus avoided another point deduction in the second trial due to incorrect accounting data and was fined 718,000 euros.

The second trial against the FIGC (Italian Football Federation) has taken place over incorrect accounting data from Juventus and its relationships with agents and other clubs. The Bianconeri, already penalized with -10 points, escaped a new sporting sanction.

Specifically, they were only fined 718,000 euros. Juventus announced that this has been explained to the court “lawfulness of his actions” and agreed with the FIGC Attorney to put an end to it “State of Instability and Tension” between the two sides.

In fact, Juventus won’t appeal in the end. However, Andrea Agnelli did not want to sign his waiver of his appeal and will therefore appear in court on June 15.

Juventus are also awaiting UEFA’s decision as the Italian side risk being banned from European competitions.

Napoli strongman Aurelio De Laurentiis has confirmed that there have been contacts with Luis Enrique over the managerial position, but also revealed that Premier League teams are a priority for the Spanish manager.

Luciano Spalletti announced that Napoli was closed for this chapter and said goodbye to the team. He announced he would not be on another club’s bench in the new season so he could rest.

Partenopei strongman Aurelio De Laurentiis has confirmed reports that former Spain coach Luis Enrique is number 1 on the list of possible substitutes.

Speaking to Rai News, he explained that there have been contacts between the two sides but Enrique’s priority is England.

We discussed. He’s a great manager, he performed very well at Barcelona but I think he has the Premier League on his mind. We have to keep in mind that we compete with many leagues that are more attractive than ours, such as the English one.

I can tell him that there is no golf there and that the fog and the food are not such good conditions, and more… that’s a conversation (laughs). “There is a financial problem, there are more attractive resources there,” he said characteristically.
