Sébastien Tarrago takes advantage of the hype Fabio Grosso
Firstly because Fabio Grosso left an excellent memory on the banks of the Rhône after his time at the club as a player but also because his beginnings in his new job as coach were rather promising. A fairly inexplicable hype in the eyes of Sébastien Tarrago. On the set of the Chaîne L’Equipe, the journalist spoke about the Fabio Grosso case and admitted to being totally distraught in the face of the credit given to the 45-year-old transalpine coach, whose name was immediately approved by everyone. world. On the contrary, the name of Gennaro Gattuso seemed to crystallize more distrust while the latter coached Naples and even AC Milan.
“The Lyon episode amuses me a lot, it was explained to me that Gattuso was the worst of the worst. Ok, he still coached Napoli, AC Milan and Valencia. Fabio Grosso who has never won anything and who led a season in Serie B, everyone validates him, he will change everything, it will be great. I can’t understand, I must be too stupid. They tell me that he left a great memory in the OL locker room but you have to remember that in the locker room, everyone said he was bad! Which wasn’t completely wrong… It’s not because he’s nice and he speaks French that he’s a good coach because in any case if he was a good and assertive coach… he wouldn’t be not come to Lyon. We’ll see but let’s relax a little, why does he already have everyone’s approval? » commented Sébastien Tarrago, who does not understand the general excitement around Fabio Grosso and who will wait to see the Lyon team at work to judge the one who also coached FC Sion in Switzerland before taking charge of Frosinone and now OL.
