Valencia 3-0 Real Betis: After the match, Gennaro Gattuso was overjoyed. He complimented himself on the lift that the victory provided his players, but he remained grounded in terms of the team’s aims, which had ended a five-game losing skid. In Movistar LaLiga, he stated, “There is a lot of chatter about the squad being young, blah blah, and I have emphasised these five weeks that the team is alive and that it will continue. This is a fantastic club, and the press and television coverage are fantastic.
“They expected us to win every game. There is no difficulty if I observe the team working. And if it doesn’t work, I’ll be the first to admit that I can’t. I believe we’ve had bad luck since my team needed three or four more points, but football is like that. We need to rest in order to return with vigour, mind, and a big heart.”
The development of Almeida
“I see him in training when he prepares with the ball stopped. He is a developing player, and many of us knew when we signed him that he had a lot of potential. Today is the day to discuss all of the players.”
Valencia 3-0 Real Betis: Europe is just five points away
“I’m not talking about Europe; the jersey is heavy, the team is young, and you have to prepare game by game. My Spanish isn’t very good, and my words aren’t well understood. It’s all my fault. When I say forty points, I mean that you may play with confidence. We are not heading to the Second Division from then on.”
Victory relieves pressure.
“I live under pressure because I don’t know how to live without it. I’m overjoyed for the squad, I’m 44 years old and I’m used to being under pressure.”
The most comprehensive game?
“No, I don’t believe so. We pressed well, although it helped a lot that Betis played with ten players. Not today, the team performed its greatest game against Atlético “.
Does victory make a significant difference in the situation?
“I’m not interested, I’m glad for the squad because it gives me meaning in my life. I’m 44 years old and have played a lot of games, but nothing has changed. I have a lot of faith in my team.”
