Gattuso Discusses Unsatisfying Lazio Display, Icardi Snub & Belahyane’s Training Struggles

Lazio manager Gennaro Gattuso expressed mixed feelings following his side's victory over Venezia FC in Serie A. Despite securing a crucial win before the international break, Gattuso was highly critical of his team's poor first-half performance. Goalkeeper Christos Mandas saved a penalty from John Yeboah to keep Lazio level before second-half goals from Mattia Zaccagni and Tijjani Noslin sealed the win.

The victory allowed Lazio to keep pace with Serie A leaders Roma and Inter Milan. Gattuso emphasized the importance of entering the three-week international break on a positive note, revealing plans for his squad to rest and play two friendlies at Formello. He also celebrated the victory directly with the travelling Lazio supporters after the final whistle.
