Arrigo Sacchi has analysed AC Milan's loss against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League group stage in this morning's print edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper. Here are his words:
"A terrible evening, I can't find another word to describe what happened first to Lazio and then to Milan. Six goals conceded and only one scored. Two completely undeserved defeats, born from the lack of organisation from our teams, and from the aggressiveness and physical and athletic quality of the opponents. A sly question: do we, Italians, want to understand that to play in Europe you have to practice a different kind of football, based on teamwork, rhythm, and synergy between the lines?"
Sacchi added:
"Aside from the result, which often conditions judgments in Italy, let's observe how the Rossoneri performed on the field: they were disjointed, often caught off guard by the French counterattacks (something you can't allow when facing opponents like Dembelé and Mbappé), there was no connection between the attack and midfield, and between midfield and defence."
Sacchi concluded:
"In a nutshell: Milan was not a team, it was not a collective. Unfortunately, a poorly played match, misinterpreted. I noticed a lot of confusion in ideas and in their execution. Not once was there order on the field. It's true that the Rossoneri had a few chances, but it's also true that the French always controlled the game and could have scored a few more goals. Now, for both Lazio and Milan, qualifying is really complicated."
