Photo all on my account! Gattuso took Hajduk to dinner …
Gennaro Gattuso He is an extremely temperamental but heartfelt and emotional man. Such is the middle of Split, and such a combination has proven to be winning. It was not easy for him after the turbulent period in which the club dropped out of Europe, Ivan Perisic left, and everyone was burning about the conflict between Nikola Kalinic with the leaders. That situation seemed to further bring Gattus with players and created the foundation for what is now happening on the ladder. And that is that Hajduk eight rounds before the end of the championship sitting on the HNL throne and watches ‘Blue’ behind as many as eight points, while Rijeka is minus four with a match less.

All matches of the HNL Supersport HNL only look at MaxSport channel of Croatian Telecom.
Koprivnica often knew how to be fatal for Hajdukovci, but since the Italian on the bench, the citizens of Split routinely solve the task in the city of Vegeta. In the 28th round of the HNL, they defeated Slaven Belupo (1-0) by Mark Livaja from the penalty shootout and made a break on the rankings.
The fans are slowly catching euphoria, never since 2005 and the last title, Hajduk has not been so close to the title. And he is aware of Gattuso that he is still much to the end, that his team has not done anything and holds the situation under control. He does not allow the players to get rid of them and take them to euphoria. Everyone knows what happened a year ago at this time, the club lost to Dinamo in the championship in a few days and said goodbye to the title and dropped out of the greatest rivals and the Cup semi -finals.

The atmosphere in the locker room is great, and the Italian does everything to be even better. After giving the players an iPhone 16 after winning against Dinamo this season, spending € 40,000, and even Louis Vuitton’s gift ceremony, which cost him 50,000 euros, he often took them to joint dinners to further get away and create a homogenized whole, and honored them after winning Koprivnica.
Just like in October last year, when they celebrated 2-0, he took the players to dinner in Varaždin Toplice. Of course, all on his account.
The Italian arrived in Split in June last year. In a short time, with the headquarters, he arranged a homogeneous whole that breathes and plays together from the quarrels and the split group of players. He introduced a strict discipline, something that had big problems in Poljud in the previous years and had physically prepared players in a Spartan regime. When he arranged these basic things, the quality finally came to the fore. He convinced them that they were boundlessly trusting him and followed him. He is an excellent psychologist and communicator, knows when he needs to be approached, and when to ‘push them’. And there is no discount for anyone, everyone has to respect the rules and discipline.
And when they follow, then the reward arrives. He is a master of Gattuso of his craft, knows how to motivate players, but also to subside the euphoria. No matter what the play of the Split team most of the season was not pleasant to the eye, the Italian fulfilled its goal. He left the team competitive for the title of eight round champions before the end …
