"When you don't win, the responsibility is always the coach's. It's always been like this, because I make the choices."
Gennaro Gattuso does not hold back and does not hide in front of Sky microphones when commenting on the defeat and the disappointing match in Verona.
Gattuso explained: “The game plan was different. In the first half we played well and made few mistakes. In the second half we let ourselves be eaten up. We lost balls coming out and we let them get through. We played the football they like. We don't have to look at the standings, we have to move forward and clear our heads a bit. There is regret. We have to be free with our heads. We give away too many gifts.
I expect what we do during the week. In the second half we did things we shouldn't have done. The poison? You don't buy it at the supermarket. It's the second balls, the stolen balls, that's the poison. Today the interpretation of the game in the second half was wrong. Although it must be said that we distorted ourselves by always playing vertically. But we conceded three goals in the same way, because every time we tried to pass the ball we conceded. We give a lot away to our opponents. We have the ambition to return to the Champions League but we can't put in performances like that in the second half because otherwise we won't go anywhere. Now we have to work seriously and see all the defects that are coming out".
