Interviewed by today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport, Arrigo Sacchi he expressed himself on Napoli: “What impresses me? A simple thing: the players know what they have to do on the pitch – he began -. They have knowledge because the coach has passed it on to them. They move back when it is appropriate to move back, they press in the area offensive when it can be done, they dribble in midfield to let the opponents out. Napoli really seems like a complete team, and then I’m impressed by their attitude: for Antonio they would throw themselves into the fire.
Number one candidate for the scudetto? Whether it’s number one, I don’t know. Now he’s up there, and deservedly so. And I think he has the potential to stay there, also because Napoli are not involved in cup competitions and therefore can train regularly throughout the week. It’s an advantage. Atalanta? Gasperini is performing another miracle. They are third in the table despite having lost important players during the transfer market, and I’m thinking of Koopmeiners, or due to injuries, see Scamacca. Gasperini – concluded Sacchi – is a coach who has already gone beyond the limits: last season he won the Europa League, which no Italian team had ever won, with cutting-edge football.”
