Arrigo Sacchi sends advice to Simone Inzaghi
Arrigo Sacchi counters to Simone Inzaghi
Just hours before the match that will see Inter take on Benfica in the second day of the Champions League group stage, former AC Milan coach Arrigo Sacchi wanted to respond to statements made by Simone Inzaghi to the microphones of the "Gazzetta dello Sport".
"It's right that everyone has their own vision of soccer, without ever disrespecting the interlocutor. First of all, I appreciate Simone's politeness. Politeness, for me, è fundamental, è a sign of civility. One can be friends even if one has different ideas" began the former Milan coach.
" Simone focuses a lot on the quality of players and group management. He is a very good tactician and he is proving it, as he had already done at Lazio. The game expressed, however, has not è always been of the highest level. I would like to see Inter attack with continuity, attack the opponents. They have the technical and athletic possibilities. Often the Nerazzurri, after scoring a goal, pull back to protect the lead, while that would be the right moment to place the knockout blow" added the former Parma coach.
"Inzaghi is doing very good things, this è in front of everyone’s eyes. I think Simone would be perfect if he was more of a strategist than a tactician. The fact è that if you have individualists at your disposal, you cannot think of playing a collective game. To practice modern soccer you need performers who play with the team and for the team, and you also need everyone to participate in both the defensive and offensive phases. Eleven men in constant movement. This activates the collaboration, the synergy that allows the team to reach the highest point" continued the former Italy coach.
"If it tried to press more; Inter would get closer to the standards of cutting-edge soccer. When you press you take away confidence from the opponent and you gain in self-esteem. Però Simone knows these things well. So far his work è has been excellent, this must be acknowledged to him, but if he improves in strategy he would be able to make the qualitative leap " commented Arrigo Sacchi.
