High tension on live television between Gennaro Gattuso and the commentator Josko Jelicic after the defeat of theHajduk Split against Rijeka.
The Italian coach, visibly irritated, had a heated confrontation with the former Croatian footballer, now the face of the broadcaster max sports.
"You talk too much, you have to show respect to people. You are always negative. You are a bad person,” Gattuso blurted out, alternating between English, Spanish and Italian. Jelicic tried to respond, inviting the coach not to wave his hands in front of his face. “You are a foreigner here, you came from Italy and you have to show respect“, the commentator retorted.
The verbal clash ended with a promise from Gattuso: “If you're here, I won't come to talk anymore“. An episode that is already making the rounds on the web, sparking debate among fans.

It's incredible how two people who should be talking about football can get to such levels of tension. Communication is fundamental, but they don't seem to understand it. Let's hope Gattuso can find a better way to express his opinions.
