Gennaro Gattuso, Lazio's coach, considered that playing football without fans is a negative experience for players. His statements were made after Lazio's 2-2 draw against Milan, a team coached by Ruben Amorim.
The Italian coach did not hesitate to express his opinion directly, stating that playing without an audience is "shit" and that it would be "better to go walk the dog". Gattuso's words reflect the discomfort felt by many football professionals with the absence of spectators in stadiums.
The match took place under conditions that required the game to be played without an audience in the stands, a situation that has been common in various sporting competitions due to public health restrictions. Gattuso clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with this reality.
Ruben Amorim, on the other side, was leading Milan in this balanced match that ended with a score of two goals each. The encounter demonstrated the difficulties both coaches face in motivating their players in this atypical context.
