The AC Milan former boss, Arrigo Sacchi, who wrote history pages of the club granted an interview to the microphones of La Gazzetta dello Sport about the Scudetto race:
"Inter have a higher technical quality than Milan, and also have more experience, but they lack the internalisation of the game. But Milan also took risks for victory. Being successful means not having to blame yourself for anything. Here, so far Milan have to reproach themselves a little."
On Milan having their fate on their hands again:
"That's it, but on one condition: that they are a group, a team, eleven men attacking and defending, compact, synergistic. Pioli, in recent years, has added ideas that go beyond classic Italian tactics. In Europe and in the world, you win with strategy, not with tactics. And not just in football, but in life. Milan are trying, even if they don't always keep the right distances. It is not the strongest team, but the one that comes closest to strategic football", said Sacchi.
On the final season rush:
"Surprises in football can happen. I recently spoke to Paolo Maldini and congratulated him. I told him: 'You were a champion as a player, you are proving to be a champion as well and you bring out all those players that no one knew."
Arrigo Sacchi on Paolo Maldini's reply:
"He said that when there is less money you have to let your brain go and get ideas. Well, I must say that Milan were good: they kept the budget at bay and built a competitive team. Pioli is making an authentic masterpiece. In Italy, it is enough to do simple things to be considered revolutionaries, because our country is an old one. Fortunately, there are exceptions, and Milan are one of them. I am for offensive, courageous, creative and beautiful football. In this aspect, you also need risk and Milan are doing that."
