According to Get Football News France, citing L'Équipe, the Italian sometimes hits his players during training, but this is not a sign of aggression or frustration, but is seen as a way to congratulate the players on their successful actions.

It is noted that the players themselves like this approach. The French publication also claims that the players are used to the intense and aggressive style of training under Tudor, and therefore the new coach's methods are not too different.

"From day one, he has given us his heart and expects us to do the same," defender Leonardo Balerdi said of Gattuso.
