Arrigo Sacchi responds in kind to criticism of Simone Inzaghi

In the course of an’interview given to the microphones of the “Gazzetta dello Sport”, the’former head coach of the national Arrigo Sacchi, among other topics covered, dwelt on the recent criticism received by the coach of the Inter Simone Inzaghi after the recent setback in the league against Bologna and the’elimination from the Coppa Italia at the hands of Milan with a net 0-3.

“Good thing there are still wise managers with a head on their shoulders. I wonder, after what has been seen in recent seasons how it is possible to question Simone Inzaghi’s performance. The world of soccer is sometimes incomprehensible. Whatever, if in Madrid they allow themselves to criticize someone like Ancelotti, by now anything goes” began the’former Milan coach.

“After the victory with Bayern Munich he was paid tribute and two weeks later he became an ass? To put a coach in the dock because he lost a couple of games is not in my way of thinking. Then there may well be mistakes that have been made, that’s all we need, but I, to those who are now complaining about Simone, ask: have you ever been wrong or are you perfect? To err is human and it seems to me that no one can consider himself immune” added the’former Parma coach.

“If he decided to make turnover with Milan, it means he needed it. I have never known coaches voluntarily pull the strings. Sure, maybe Inter’s second lines are not at the same level as the starters, but I don&#8217t know of any team where the quality of the reserves is similar to that of the starters, not even Real Madrid. It’s logical that Frattesi isn&#8217t Barelli, that Asllani doesn&#8217t have the same quality as Calhanoglu, and that Taremi doesn&#8217t affect like Thuram. When you play as many games as Inter did this season, you need to take these risks” Arrigo Sacchi concluded.
