In regards to the performance in the match, Gattuso said:
We were in control of the game but it was sterile and easy to decipher. We expected Bologna to concede possession from the first minute, but we were good to stop their offensive plays. Many teams have struggled here, some winning only at the end. We lacked the final play, we didn’t play vertical enough, we moved the ball too slow and too central, it was not a good performance in terms of quality. The team was flat, we played a scholastic football today.
It’s nice that Gattuso can say this and realize this, it would be even better if he did something to try and remedy the situation.
