Italy legend Gennaro Gattuso fumed at Croatian pundit Joško Jeličić on Sunday after Hajduk Split’s 3-0 loss against Rijeka: ‘I have no respect for you.’
Gattuso’s Hajduk Split lost 3-0 away on Sunday, and the former Italy international was in no mood to discuss the performance with ex-Croatian player Jeličić.
Gattuso came face to face with the former Hajduk Split player, speaking in three different languages: English, Spanish and partially Italian.

The 2006 Italy World Cup winner was clearly upset about previous comments made by the 54-year-old.
“You played football, and you know very well the situation,” Gattuso told Jeličić, raising his finger.
“You speak very bad and I have no respect for you.”
Rijeka leapfrogged Hajduk Split at the top of the Croatian league table yesterday and now enjoy a two-point lead over Gattuso’s team.
