Former AC Milan legendary coach, Arrigo Sacchi, spoke about the Rossoneri's current form on the pages of La Gazzetta dello Sport. Here are his words:
"Milan can benefit from this break because I have seen many Rossoneri tired and with their tongues sticking out. But Pioli will have to be good at exploiting this period so he can find the team that allowed him to win the Scudetto last season. Milan must return to play with eleven players in an active position both when attacking and when defending."
Sacchi added:
"Now, however, when the opponents have the ball, there are two or three players who participate little. Pioli will try to correct this defect to recreate that compact and cohesive group, tight and short, which can guarantee pressure and speed of execution. He is an intelligent coach, he knows where to put his hands. It is to be hoped that his boys will follow him with blind trust."
