The newly arrived head coach of the Italian national team Jennaro Gattuza compared contemporary players with players who performed earlier. His words suggest Sky Sport Italia.

“Everyone thinks of Gattuza, who runs and demonstrates determination. I think the teams I trained played good football.

I was told not to say this, but I will say: I would not release Gattuso in my team today because of the mess that he did. Because I see football now.

Today, the players are different, they are much more professional. It is just harder for them to work in a group, not only in the national team, “Gattuza said.

Earlier, Gattuza reported that he was actively communicating with Italian football players.
