Juventus or Inter again? Or even, in order of probability, Atalanta or Lazio, who complete the quartet of Italians in the new Champions League? The Scudetto seems to be his business, but in the meantime, after the first three hours of the championship, At the top of everything is Naples, if only because of the goal difference: 8 goals scored and none conceded, from 2-0 away against Parma to 6-0 at home against Genoa.
Obviously, it is too early to nullify the predictions of a Juve-Inter two-match run, considering Napoli ahead, but it is certainly not too early to warn everyone that Gattuso in his double career, as a player and as a coach, has always known how to go beyond his limits and therefore expectations. Remember, to believe, that from a small town in Calabria Gattuso managed to climb to the top of the world, with Milan and the national team, although he did not have the class of Rivera, the idol of his father Franco.
Goals achieved with career and sacrifice that never changed him, because Gattuso, unlike many of his teammates more technically gifted than him, never got on his head and even as a coach he knew how to start over with humility, making the classic mess, from Sion to Palermo, from Greece to Pisa, he even got to “his” Milan, not as big as when he played there, but highly overrated by the new owners and by the fans themselves.
Gattuso had understood this before the others, but despite the limitations of the various Rodríguez and Biglia managed to get access to the Champions League, reaching only one point, on the last day, of Inter’s fourth place. Precisely because he realized that Milan had gone beyond their limits, Gattuso asked in vain for reinforcements of experience for the quality jump, starting with Ibrahimovic, but when he realized that the Elliott fund would not guarantee them, because only wanted young. , resigned with great dignity, also handing over the contract money for the following season. Time immediately proved him right, because behind him Giampaolo’s new Milan, which had to be stronger and more spectacular than his, risked the relegation zone before Pioli and new signing Ibrahimovic managed to take him to at least sixth place, one notch below Gattuso’s placement.
The rest is recent history with the arrival of Gattuso to the Naples bench to replace his former teacher Ancelotti in the race, with the unexpected triumph in the Italian Cup, after having eliminated Inter, beaten at San Siro, and having beaten Juventus in the final on penalties. Another demonstration of Gattuso’s ability to push the limits, because Inter and especially Juventus had shown in the League that they were superior to their Napoli. And now, if the covid allows it, Gattuso will visit Juventus in the League, with two points of advantage over the team led by Pirlo, his partner in Milan and in the national team, who in terms of experience is a close apprentice to him. It will not be a final, like that of the Coppa Italia that Gattuso’s Napoli won on penalties, but even a simple draw, without penalties this time, would be a strong signal for the championship in general and for Juventus in particular. Not to mention a victory, which would launch Napoli and sink Juventus. So watch out for Gattuso’s Napoli, because his entire career has been a great leap beyond limits and expectations.
