Gattuso: "Losing a player this way is unacceptable"

Valencia coach Gennaro Gattuso reported that they had 'a great match' because they won 1-2 against Osasuna in El Sadar.

"Playing here is not easy. Osasuna are a team that they have been playing together for 3-4 years and with a great mentality," he said about the opponents. 

The Italian coach did not want to talk beyond the next match. "I don't speak about Europe, I don't speak about anything. It's a very difficult league. I want to talk about reaching 40 points and then we will do another thing. We have quality, speed and we should continue working on it," he said. 

"Losing a player because he is not calm on the bench is unacceptable. We have a very complicated match on Saturday," he stated about Diakhaby's red card when the defender had already been subsitituted.
