Gattuso ‘cannot pretend’ fan absence ‘doesn’t have an impact’ at Lazio

Lazio head coach Gennaro Gattuso has acknowledged that the absence of supporters is adversely affecting the team's performance at Stadio Olimpico. Gattuso stated that it would be "hypocritical" to deny that the atmosphere has an impact during matches. "You cannot go under the Curva or hear the whistles when things go wrong," he said, emphasizing that playing football without fans isn't the same as playing football with fans.

Despite this, Gattuso remains optimistic about the team's progress, praising their resilience after a challenging start to the season. He also revealed that Davide Frattesi chose to join Lazio, and it was his decision to accept the move.
