The surreal story of Gattuso's new mustache

Rino Gattuso lived an intense and unforgettable afternoon yesterday. Their players won a long-suffering battle with Juventus, saving their position on the bench despite several absences and a crisis of results and mentality. 'Ringhio', however, also spoke for an aesthetic novelty: he appeared on the bench with an unprecedented mustache.

A surprise that was interpreted on social networks as a sign of change, a turn in the unfortunate Azzurro course. Nevertheless, the reality was very different. It was revealed, with the sincerity of always, the coach himself before the cameras of 'Sky Sport', questioned by his friend and former partner Costacurta: “The truth is that I cut my beard and put a hole in my face. I didn't want to go to the hairdresser because he talks too much, and Valerio Fiori (goalkeeping coach) lent me his razor. The problem is that it has the same one since 2003 and it ruined my beard, so I had to cut everything. It's a problem, I know. “

Gattuso also responded with pride to the criticisms in recent weeks: “We are missing a lot of players, we show team spirit and we knew how to suffer. If I had the slightest doubt about this group, I would already be at home, far from here. I know these guys listen to me and if someone thinks I'm not up to Naples I don't care. I accept the criticisms, but not the personal attacks. “
