Gennaro Gattuso said curiously opinion according to which Pep Guardiola is the main culprit for the decrease in the level of Italian football in recent years.
In an interview with "Gazzetta dello Sport" world champion of 2006 he said: "Pep Guardiola created a monster with Barcelona!"
The reason for Gattuso's words were that he thinks dominant, filled with lots of passing football style that Guardiola had in Barcelona, and Bayern is too much favored. At the same time the classic Italian style of game gets criticism that it is too rough, defensive and not sufficiently effective.
A number of coaches and teams take for example gaming philosophy of Guardiola, and this is the problem, according to Gattuso. According to him, specialists in Italy must return to the Italian way of playing that for years they wore huge success in Europe.
"It is wrong to try to copy Guardiola. While copying others, we lose much of our culture. Most notably defensive."
"Of course, we need to change something, it is. But why not rely on things that for many years we were very good. However, we have four stars on his chest ..." said Gattuso, referring to the four world titles Italy.
