After the final whistle, there was a tense atmosphere on the field that nearly erupted into a brawl.

Videos surfaced on social media showing Gattuso arguing with an Israeli player who, although off-camera, shouted: “Teach your players.”

“Shut up. Damn it! Shut up, motherf***er!”

In the post-match press conference, Gattuso did not mention the conflict but noted that his team needs to “improve” their performances to have a chance of success in the upcoming tournament.

Gattuso emphasized: “Today the game was not very bright. It’s normal, as the second match is always like this. We won an important game, but we need to improve because we conceded absurd goals.”

He also remarked: “Despite the fact that this day was not one of the best, we had the mentality, heart, and energy. In matches like this, a bit of cunning is needed, especially when the score is 4-2, but let’s enjoy the victory for now.”

“I want to thank the guys. If we aim for something important, we need to improve, but they know that.”
