Arrigo Sacchi extols Milan and crushes Napoli

The words of Arrigo Sacchi

Arrigo Sacchi spoke to Gazzetta dello Sport about Milan’s victory “There is a precise picture that explains the whole game: in Milan, even Leao, who has almost never done so in two years, returned to the defensive phase. This means that the team was highly motivated, that the players constantly helped each other, that they exchanged roles and positions and were always linked by an invisible thread that was the game.”

“Now everyone will say: yeah, but Osimhen was missing. So let’s clear up the misunderstanding right away: in this context, that is, with a Napoli that was not very gritty, very slow and very predictable, even Osimhen would have struggled. And this explains that one player cannot solve the situation. There are three fundamental components that have enabled Spalletti’s boys to reach the top of the table and amaze the Italian public: strong motivation, team spirit, and game organization. Motivation came in part from the fact that important pieces of the past group were sold in the summer, for example, Insigne, Mertens, and Koulibaly, and everyone thought the team had been weakened. Wanting to prove the prejudice wrong was an important push.”
