"The national team? Spalletti must work miracles. The teams are full of foreigners and we have never given our national team a style. Let's hope for the best." Arrigo Sacchi said it, speaking about the next European Championships in Germany at the Foro Italico tennis club: the occasion, the presentation of his book "The visionary realist: my rules to change the rules" as part of Allenamente, an initiative of the Credito Sportivo and the The Mecenate 90 association with the patronage of the Ministry for Sport and Youth, aimed at training the mind through reading, exchanging books and sharing thoughts and opinions. "Who can be today's visionary realist? Football is conditioned by the history of the country's culture. We are not a people, we are individualists. And we defend ourselves. Ours is an old country in total crisis", also underlined Sacchi, who had a dialogue with president of the Lega Pro, Matteo Marani, and the director of ANSA, Luigi Contu; The event was also attended by the Minister for Sport, Andrea Abodi, the CEO of Sport eSalute, Diego Nepi Molineris, the president of the Institute for Sports Credit, Beniamino Quintieri and the general secretary of Mecenate90, Ledo Prato. Sacchi remembered Silvio Berlusconi, president of his AC Milan. "What if I miss him? Yes, I had a disappointment, I owe him a lot.
He helped me, he told me that we had to become the greatest team in history and I told him that it could be frustrating and even limiting. I always called him "lei" and he didn't want , he told me four months before he died. I replied that I couldn't do it." Closing on Daniele De Rossi and his experience as coach at Roma: "He's a golden boy, I wish him all the best possible. I was curious about him, he hadn't done well in Ferrara, because he was like an orchestra conductor who has a drummer rather than a violinist. It always happens in Italian football."
