VIDEO: The famous stormtrooper Gattuso lived up to his reputation again. The wrath of the Italian legend was felt by a key Valencia player after a red card
Valencia is experiencing a controversial start to the season. It’s not a tragedy, but it could be better. Even Gennaro Gattuso, the coach of the traditional team, is aware of that. He lived up to his reputation as an Italian stormtrooper in Friday’s match against Osasuna and one of his team’s key players felt his wrath.
Valencia is experiencing a controversial start to the season. It’s not a tragedy, but it could be better. Even Gennaro Gattuso, the coach of the traditional team, is aware of that. He lived up to his reputation as an Italian stormtrooper in Friday’s match against Osasuna and one of his team’s key players felt his wrath.
Pamplona was the scene of a very heated game between home side Osasuna and Valencia on Friday night. Especially due to the home environment, Osasuna were in the role of slight favourites, however, they did not confirm that role.
Valencia take home a well-deserved three points. However, in the match we saw three red cards, a missed penalty or a very angry Gennaro Gattuso. However, we can’t blame him at all.
Mouctar Diakhaby is one of the key players in Gattuso’s starting eleven, after all, he scored the winning goal against Osasuna. In the 84th minute, he was shown a yellow card for unsporting behaviour and two minutes later he was substituted.
The Italian legend no doubt hoped that Diakhaby’s withdrawal from the field would prevent him from missing the next few games due to some unnecessary card. But the Guinean defender was yellow-carded in the 91st minute, even though he was on the bench.
So he was given a meaningless sending off, and would Gattuso, who also had a yellow card already, keep his displeasure to himself? You can’t say that. On the contrary. He lived up to his reputation and perhaps no one would want to be in Diakhaby’s shoes.
The smiles at the referee were quickly replaced by the anger faced by a key Valencia player. The reactions of his charges, who stood by and watched the aggression from the Italian legend, were also interesting.
