Arrigo Sacchi has shared his thoughts on Juventus’ decision to hire Thiago Motta as their manager, despite the coach’s emphasis on playing attractive football.
The Bianconeri have made a perfect start to the new season and are setting the pace in the title race.
They are among several clubs expected to challenge for the crown, and their fans have already enjoyed an exciting brand of attacking football under Motta.
Motta, considered one of the finest young coaches in the game, has made a strong impression in the few weeks he has been at the helm.
Juventus is pleased with their decision to appoint him, but Sacchi remarked that Juve has historically won trophies without necessarily playing what is traditionally considered “good football.”
He says, as quoted by Tuttomercatoweb:
“Motta is very good, and I say this because I went to see his training in Bologna. However, there are two issues to consider: he is facing these first matches with young players who are not yet formed, who perhaps think that situations are easy when they are not.
“And then, Juventus has never historically reached great heights of play. We will have to see if the new management, which I do not know, will allow him to work in his own way. In the past, Juve won for its economic and political power, not for its play .”
Juve FC Says
We have been used to winning trophies at all costs, so we can understand Sacchi’s fears.
However, Motta has started his tenure very well, and we trust the club to back him to find success while playing beautiful football as well.
“And then, Juventus has never historically reached great heights of play. We will have to see if the new management, which I do not know, will allow him to work in his own way. In the past, Juve won for its economic and political power, not for its play .”
Incredible, this serial cretin…..has become even worse with age.
Does not remember the great JUVENTUS teams of the 80s with ZOFF GENTILE CABRINI FURINO BRIO SCIREA BONIEK TARDELLI ROSSI PLATINI and BETTEGA?
Or LIPPI’s all conquering JUVENTUS team that also thrashed SACCHI and MILAN 1-6 at the SAN SIRO.
ECONOMIC and POLITICAL POWER? SACCHI has become so senile that he has completely forgotten about the power of BUNGA BUNGA.
This character has become a BIG JOKE in international football…….first he attacked ROBY BAGGIO and now he continues with his serial HATRED of JUVENTUS.
Rest assured, Andrew. No one takes him seriously.
What a clown! Lippi played some of the best football i`ve ever seen! Always remember, Milan used to win scudettos scoring goals in single figures.
Agree. I liked Lippi’s football too.
Yeah. I remember the 93/94 season when Milan won the league scoring 36 goal.
Sacchi is a senile idiot.
Juve is the biggest and greatest football club in Italy, even if he doesn’t like it.
The result has always been the most important, but the time has come for more modern football.
