Arrigo Sacchi crowns Inter and Atalanta and believes in Milan
The fifth day of the Champions League has è ended with a haul of three wins, a draw and a loss for the Italians. The three points won by Inter and Atalanta, allowed them to further consolidate themselves among the top eight in qualification, while Milan’s hard-fought success in Bratislava kept alive the Rossoneri’s hopes of qualifying directly to the next stage without going through the playoffs. It è complicated è in no small part, however, the path of Juventus and Bologna. At the microphones of the "Gazzetta dello Sport", former Italy coach Arrigo Sacchi è expressed himself bluntly on the state of form of the Italians in Europe.
"Inter is doing a beautiful Champions. Chapeau! Four wins and a draw at home to Manchester City on debut and most importantly no goals conceded. Simone Inzaghi and his group are bidding for a starring role this season. It's a tough, experienced team with high technical values. I think it is the mostù complete in our league" began the former Parma coach.
"I think we should all stand up and applaud what Atalanta and its leader Gian Piero Gasperini are doing. They are on a stupendous run, despite the fact that they gave up a strong midfielder like Koopmeiners and lost Scamacca to injury. I think Real Madrid and Barcelona will have to be very careful with these guys, because they're going a thousand per hour. I think Dea has all the cards to make it to the top eight" continued the former coach of the Italian national team.
"Milan accomplished a feat by winning at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid and was good at taking the three points against Slovan Bratislava. It's a team that needs work to grow. To qualify directly, the Rossoneri would have to win their last three games and see what the other competitors will do, however, we should not forget that there's always a chance to move forward through the playoffs. Fonseca’s team still has unexpressed potential and has yet to find continuity, but there is no shortage of quality" added the former meneghini coach.
"Juventus’ path is not è simple. Thiago Motta is working hard, but it takes time to impress what would be a historic turning point. There are always playoffs and in a double duel the Bianconeri can play it against anyone. As for Bologna, on the other hand, it was logical that they could not go very far, especially after changing technical leadership. It still remains a beautiful Italian reality" Arrigo Sacchi commented.
