Arrigo Sacchi, legendary coach and architect of the greatest Milan in history, praised Hansi Flick's Barça and highlighted the figure of Pau Cubarsí
The advanced defensive line has become the hallmark of Hansi Flick's FC Barcelona. At this point in the season, the culé team is the leader of the rival 'offsides' ranking in LaLiga with 145 (Real Madrid is 15th with 35 and Atlético is 18th with 30) and in the Champions League with 60 (Liverpool follows with 31 and PSG and Madrid have 16), being compared to historic teams like Rinus Michels' Netherlands and Arrigo Sacchi's Milan.
In this regard, the historic Italian coach, architect of the greatest Milan in history, gave a brief interview to 'Mundo Deportivo' in which he spoke about the great present of the azulgrana team. "The truth is that Barcelona has a great team and is playing very good football. I am really enjoying watching them play," the former coach began to say.
"Barcelona has a group with very young players and I love their philosophy of play. They practice very beautiful football"
Sacchi, who had legendary defenders like Franco Baresi and Paolo Maldini under his command, confessed that he is an admirer of Pau Cubarsí. "I really like Cubarsí. Barcelona has a group with very young players and I love their philosophy of play. They practice very beautiful football. Sometimes it shows that they are young, which is why there are days when they make normal mistakes for their age, but there are footballers who can only improve."
Sacchi's advice to the young Barça players
The former coach assured that the key for this Barça to continue growing boldly and audaciously must be "to try to be better every day because if they think everything is already done, it is not a good path. Now they are almost all young guys and they must fight to keep improving. It is important that they are footballers who think well".
The transalpine, who limited his comments on the comparisons between Lamine Yamal and Messi to saying, "he is a very good player but it is still early for all that," concluded his talk by giving advice to the brilliant generation of footballers beginning to break into the first team of Barça.
"Throughout my career as a coach in the world of football, I have seen many young players with very good qualities, who started playing very well but in the end did not become stars. Everyone must have humility in all aspects. And those who are very good should continue to improve more," Sacchi concluded, whose word is more than authorized in the football world, which adds value to his compliments to the club and the players.
