Bologna's head coach, Thiago Motta, is a candidate to join AC Milan in case Pioli were to leave once the season ends. Meanwhile, Arrigo Sacchi has expressed very important words for the former midfielder in the pages of 'La Gazzetta dello Sport'. Here are his words:
"Thiago Motta is a strategist. He brings a style of play. And the style of play gives you the advantage of having eleven players, of being a real team. And Bologna is that. Football was born as an offensive and team sport, which lost its original characteristics in Italy. It has turned into a defensive and individual sport. Bologna overturns this paradigm. They are playing beautiful football, all the players are improving, they feel collaboration, they play as eleven, and Italian teams rarely have played as eleven. Motta has given meaning to these players, some very young ones too, who are growing. How important are beauty and emotions? Football is not just a system of play, it is a philosophy, which to win cannot ignore values, in a country that has disregarded them in all fields. Football is courage. And Motta has given that to Bologna."
