Arrigo Sacchi è drastic about Milan’s prospects
Speaking to "La Gazzetta dello Sport", former Milan coach Arrigo Sacchi è bluntly expressed himself on the moment of deep crisis that the Rossoneri are going through, as evidenced by the ninth place in the standings, the premature elimination from the Champions League and the -11 from fourth place.
"Undoubtedly, the advent of Sergio Conceiçao has not brought those benefits that all fans expected. Milan è in ninth place. This is certainly not a position befitting a club that has written soccer history. And this needs to be reflected on seriously and humbly. They have to do that, especially the managers. I feel I can conclude that the result è negative and frankly I do not see how we can get out of such a situation. It seems to me that the Rossoneri has slipped into a tunnel and cannot see even a glimmer of light. The goals have become a place for the Europa League and the Coppa Italia: too little, even considering the economic investments made" began the former Rossoneri coach.
"Everything stems from a lack of clarity in ideas. I remember that Milan had identified Lopetegui as the coach for this season. Then, since the fans rebelled, because they did not consider him an unsuitable profile, it è was decided to bet on Fonseca. This è was the first wrong move, because if you companyé are convinced of an idea you have to go all the way and not bend to the moods of the square. What Milan must do now è quite simple, choose the right men to lead the rebirth, entrust a coach they trust with the construction of the team and let him decide which players should be bought and sold. This è the best way to return to success" added the former coach of the Italian national team.
"You have to rely first on human qualities and then on technical ones: look first at the head and then at the feet. When a coach does not work with reliable people, and evidently the current Milan players are not, è it is inevitable that you will run into problems. For Conceiçao è complicated to get the boat back on course. There'é confusion in the environment and unfortunately all this is reflected on the field as well. The truth is that, this season, Milan has almost never been a team and when you are not, you don't go very far. The responsibilities, when things like this happen, are everyone’s. It cannot be the fault of the coach alone, just as the players alone cannot be guilty," concluded Arrigo Sacchi.
