The technical director of Hajduk Split, Genaro Gattuso, arrived at the studio visibly angry after losing the derby 0-3 and finishing in second place in the league. Once in the set, he began to argue heatedly with commentator Joško Jeličić.
The discussion arose after Gattuso's team lost 3-0 to Rijeka on matchday 16 of the Croatian League. At the end of the match, Gattuso addressed the hosts and the analyst, ignoring Jeličić's greeting and pointing out that he didn't greet him because he considered him rude.
The controversial conversation between Gattuso and Jeličić, which began in English and ended in Spanish, created discomfort among those present. Gattuso expressed his dissatisfaction with the disrespect he perceived from Jeličić, while the latter responded with criticism of the Italian's gameplay, provoking an even stronger reaction from Gattuso.
Hajduk Split finished in second place in the standings with 48 points, while Rijeka climbed to the top with 50 points. During the discussion, Gattuso emphasized the importance of respect for others and the need to talk about football directly and with consideration.
Amid the tension, Gattuso insisted on the importance of maintaining a respectful environment, emphasizing that the studio is about football and about talking face to face, leaving aside rude or disrespectful attitudes.
