Walter Sabatini shares his perspective on key football topics. He begins by stating that the Champions League is the most significant competition in football. According to Sabatini, Inter players will gain additional motivation from having lost the league title to Napoli by just one point, fueling a desire for revenge. He believes an Inter victory in the competition would be meaningful for Italian football.
If I say Luis Enrique?
A friend of mine. A special person.
PSG seems more like a team than in previous years…
They made a strategic choice, I`d say. They decided to focus on the group, and that choice is paying off.
Future Roma is targeting Gasperini.
I see him fitting very well. On the condition that he`s given the time to implement his project. You can`t just hire him and then immediately start questioning things. You need to give him years to develop his strategic and cultural approach. It takes time. It`s an excellent choice, but there must be the awareness that time is required. Gasperini`s football project is based on running, confrontation, duels. It will need time.
But Roma doesn`t seem to give much time…
Roma has a somewhat contradictory characteristic. It`s arguably the most affectionate public towards their team. But they can also be disordered in their thinking, very volatile. Gasperini, like all coaches, needs time. But [current coach Claudio] Ranieri is there now; I`m calm.
Allegri at Milan, Conte stays at Napoli. Conte`s permanence at Napoli reshaped the puzzle…
A matter of cause and effect. There`s some uncertainty. But I see big names linked to big benches. And in the end, everything will return to a sort of normality. A balanced league like this year`s makes me rummage through old memories.
Sunday there`s the playoff final between Spezia and Cremonese.
It will be a great match. I saw the first leg and it will be a great match. Spezia has two results out of three, and the advantage is considerable. But they are two excellent teams. Cremonese has great technical resources.
Pio Esposito shines at Spezia.
A great center forward. A strong player. He seems ready for the step up. He has physical structure, several technical qualities. He can do well, even immediately in Serie A.
