Arrigo Sacchi

Milan, 10 April 2024 – Arrigo Sacchi stings Inter: “Winning by making debts is cheating. Is Inter cheating? Yes". The former Italian coach does not mince words when looking at the situation in the Serie A championship and that debtor of the leaders: Sacchi, as reported by Corriere Adriatico, spoke about it at the Hotel Federico II in Jesi, on the occasion of the presentation of his book 'The visionary realist', the third written by the technician from Fusignano. “There is a tendency to get to the goal smartly – underlines Sacchi –. We need to get out of this situation, otherwise we will always remain in this state of crisis."

In the event organized in collaboration with the Milan Clubs of Jesi and Castelfidardo (hosted by Luigi Brecciaroli of Radio Arancia), together with the director of the Corriere Adriatico Giancarlo Laurenzi and Carlo Ciccioli representing the Marche Region, the evolution of football was also discussed Italian. "Today we focus entirely on tactics – the words of the former coach –, he just waits for the opponent's mistake. The founding fathers invented football as an offensive and team sport, in Italy we have transformed it into an individual and defensive one. We are at a paradox."

As for the coaches (the good one "gives a game, helps the players become better. An added director” he says) the praise goes to the current Italian coach: “Spalletti is like me, he can do well. I see myself a lot in him, but he's not the only one. I appreciate Sarri, Gasperini, Italiano and Pioli. Inzaghi he is about to win the scudetto, he has evolved. But in the Champions League against Atletico Madrid he made a mistake. The Spanish teams must be attacked, his Inter defended themselves too much. But he will grow, he has taken the right path."
