The former Italian coach of AC Milan, double European champion, was, in an interview with Eurosport, very critical of the game of


Clearly, times are not easy for Thomas Tuchel.

Subject of many criticisms for certain tactical choices and the game developed by his team, the German coach of PSG will find no comfort in the words of Arrigo Sacchi, the former coach of AC Milan, double European champion ( 1989, 1990) at the microphone of Eurosport.

In a long interview on his current vision of football, the one who was named third best coach in history by France Football in 2019 - behind Rinus Michels and Alex Ferguson - answered straightforwardly to a question about the content of the matches of the PSG.

“I don't watch PSG a lot because I don't like it,” he said.

I saw 30 minutes of the match against Istanbul Basaksehir and I changed.

It's a team that is not based on harmony and beauty.

It is a team that relies on individualities and economic strength.

It's a group, not a team.

"We do not see a lot of automatisms at PSG"

That evening, Navas had notably multiplied the parades and Neymar was out on injury.

"A team is when eleven players manage to internalize things," Sacchi continues in his analysis.

It goes beyond tactics and technique.

We don't see a lot of automatisms at PSG.

While the capital club has already suffered two defeats in this group stage of the Champions League (against Manchester United and Leipzig) Sacchi returns the debates to the Final 8 of the Champions League where Paris has yet reached the final.

He points in particular to the performance in the quarter-finals where PSG, long led by Bergamo, came out in the very last minutes of the match.

“Atalanta was performing a real masterpiece last season in the Champions League quarter-finals,” Sacchi recalls.

A PSG player cost more than the whole Atalanta team together… ”

An unflattering comparison for Paris at a time when Leonardo ensured that a change of coach was not relevant.
