Freak-out live on TV
Gattuso flips out: “They have no respect”
Soccer legend Gennaro Gattuso lost his cool after his club Hajduk Split lost 3:0 in the Croatian top-of-the-table clash against HNK Rijeka. The 2006 world champion attacked pundit and former footballer Joško Jeličić in front of the cameras and completely flipped out.
Summit meeting in Croatia, first against second, Hajduk would have had the chance to extend their lead in the table with a win over Rijeka, but instead suffered a bitter 3-0 defeat against their closest rivals. No wonder that the already emotional Gennaro Gattuso was really charged up during the subsequent TV interview with Croatian broadcaster "MaxSport 1". And he took this frustration out on former Croatian team player Joško Jeličić, who acted as a pundit. "You talk too much," hissed Gattuso. "They've played soccer and know these situations. They always talk badly about us." Jeličić lacks respect, said Gattuso with a raised index finger. The accused replied: "Your team played badly. You have no respect for me when you talk with your hand raised."
"That's the last time..."
After a heated exchange in a mix of Spanish, Italian and English, Gattuso made it clear: "This is the last time I'll speak here when you're here. You are a bad person."
