Gattuso Praises Lazio’s Spirit After Udinese Comeback
Following Lazio's dramatic 2-1 victory over Udinese at the Bluenergy Stadium, head coach Gennaro Gattuso spoke to the press to dissect his side's third consecutive Serie A victory, the squad's tactical evolution, and the impact of debutant Albert Gudmundsson.
"I Knew We Had to Tear Everything Down"
Lazio arrived in Udine facing a stern test against a physical Udinese side. Despite going a goal down early in the second half, the Biancolecesti fought back through Davide Frattesi and Albert Gudmundsson to collect all three points and remain perfect at the top of the table. Gattuso began by praising the work ethic and mental fortitude of his players:
I have to congratulate the boys. You concede a goal, maybe you lose 2-1, and then people say Gattuso is arrogant. That's football. For the way we want to play, formations only matter to a certain point. The boys are doing significant things in terms of both quality and spirit. I have an important group, and I love the desire we put out on the pitch.
