Europa League Dissatisfied with the approach of the Spaniards
T.here was an element of sour grapes left Gennaro Gattuso‘s post-match comment after his Napoli side was eliminated from the Europa League Granada
The Partenopei won 2-1 in the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Thursday, but were unable to undo their first leg defeat with 2-0.
However, Gattuso was unimpressed with Granada’s approach to Naples and criticized LaLiga Santander’s side.
“We were not able to play for 17 minutes in the first half,” said Gattuso. “Granada wasted two or three minutes on every game, it’s absurd.
“If an Italian team behaved like that, it would be in the papers all over Europe the next day.”
Gattuso is under pressure Naples, and he has accepted that he is to blame for their current difficulties, not the players.
“People can come for me, but not the players,” he said. “I am responsible for everything.
“We haven’t been able to train properly for months.”
