Reread Gattuso.

Gattuso has been a little annoyed lately.

The coach, who succeeded his mentor Carlo Ancelotti, suffered a league lockout before he could scold Fang Kui in Naples, and now it is rumored that the three generals Zelinski, Mertens and Milik are also rumored to be leaving the team.

Napoli, ranked sixth in the league, are aiming to surpass Atlanta, the dark horse, waiting for the league to restart, although it is as much as 9 points apart, but for Gattuso, who joined midway, his contract itself is a half-year + 1-year contract renewal option. even if the terms of automatic contract renewal have been triggered, it is only normal for him to have such a sense of crisis.

Looking back at the beginning of taking office, the record of five rounds and four defeats fermented Gattuso's black history in the position of head coach.

After three months in charge of Xiyong, he scored only 10 points in 11 games, met the impatient Zamparini in Palermo and coached 6 games with 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, thus creating Naples' worst record in nearly 20 years. The news spread like wildfire that chairman de Laurentiis was very angry.

On the one hand, fans criticize the club for tying up their own cocoons. Carlo Ancelotti, the famous coach who won three Champions League titles, does not cherish it and insists on looking for a rookie on the coaching bench; on the other hand, some people sympathize with Gattuso who bravely took the pot under the high-pressure policy of de Laurentiis. After all, he cannot refuse the invitation from Naples, which may be a gilded natural platform.

Former Palermo coach Luciano Mudi said of Gattuso: "I think people's expectations of Gattuso are too high, once the requirements are not met, the coach will be questioned immediately."

This sentence is divided into two to sum up Gattuso's qualifications and situation, very objective, although he also brought pizza to Serie B in 2016, but the public impression that his wandering coaching experience is not enough to mediate with the boss, there is a sense of insecurity.

Two, has he ever been happy?

That's for sure!

In Xiyong, he was at the helm as a player and coach; in Palermo, Zamparini praised him as "the second Conti"; in Iraq, Greece, he gave up his decision to resign because of the enthusiasm of the fans; on his first day of joining Pisa, "Pisa is my Milan" is resounding.

Even if he stops once a year, he is never afraid to coach again, which is very much in line with the character of the "butcher" when he was a player. the bravest projection is in Milan, where he has played for 13 years. Former teammates Seedorf, Inzaghi and Brocchi's identity transformation in Milan was unsatisfactory, so doubts never stopped since Gattuso took office, especially in the first game of coaching.

Benevento was supposed to get off to a good start, but the 95th goal bowed his head as he was ready to raise his arms to celebrate.

"I feel like I've been stabbed." Gattuso, who always believed he was from Milan, missed the victory and refocused himself on condemnation.

Although the end of the class was not surprising, he spent the most stable and longest 18 months of his coaching career at Milan, with an impressive record of 40 wins, 23 draws and 20 defeats. He has scored fifth and fourth in the league, with 70 points the highest since 2012 and only one point short of a place in the Champions League.

From the perspective of the process, he also encountered the embarrassment of not scoring goals in four consecutive Serie A games, and was once unbeaten in 10 rounds and ended with a four-game winning streak in the league. From the perspective of team-building culture, Donaluma, Kutrone and other people who were born in Milan youth training have full room for growth.

The fans who questioned him also felt that there was a grievance for his dismissal. When he left, Milan used the word "fighter" to describe him, a symbol left by his time as a player.

You can see his fattening body, but there are some things that have not been taken away by time, such as his usual growl, such as his relationship with Milan.

When he left, he voluntarily gave up 90% of his salary in the remaining two years of his contract, and he said easily: "my relationship with Milan cannot be measured by money."

The reason for leaving was soon revealed that it was nothing more than the voice of team-building ideas and aid policies. Gattuso, who has a direct personality, is easily angry and involved, and "voluntary resignation" is also an imaginable topic.

three.

The ups and downs of his coaching career have made Gattuso see the cold world, and prejudiced thoughts have grabbed him by the throat from time to time, so he doesn't mind restarting his life in Naples after six months of unemployment.

After the initial downturn, there are signs of getting back on track. The first-leg draw with Barcelona in the Champions League 1-8 final is a living example. In addition, cup victories over Inter, Lazio and league victories over Juventus are all very valuable.

The director of Naples, who spoke in place of de Laurentiis, said directly: "I am very satisfied with Gattuso's work."

It is worth mentioning that the mentor won 8 wins in 21 games in Naples and the apprentice used 14. Although the gap between the two is still very different, Gattuso is still bright.

So, when the three main players wanted to find another way out, Gattuso communicated at the first time, hoping to build a new story together, and cited the three consecutive victories before the lockout as strong evidence of confidence. Zaccheroni said: "Gattuso is much more mature" does not make sense.

Gennaro Gattuso, who won favor, will probably extend his contract, but he has won the hearts of the people. apart from the recovery of his record, he left last on the last training day and told the players one by one to do a good job in epidemic prevention. of course, it is conceivable that he may not have increased the decibels when he said this. In addition, he donated an ambulance to the local hospital and voluntarily gave up part of his salary.

Make sure that the staff outside the front-line team can get the full salary.

Maybe we are used to the brave player Gattuso, maybe we are used to the coach Gennaro Gattuso, but the premise of living with others is attraction and commonality, he enjoyed it in Naples, although the future is unknown, but the iron man who can say "I no longer worry about the contract" seems to have learned to let go and mature, and annotated another kind of tenderness in this city.

About troubles?

It is rumored that de Laurentiis has stepped in, trying to achieve the "integrity" Gattuso wants, about the future?

Even if there are factors such as leaving the team and poor record, he will forge ahead because of his identity and character.
