Arrigo Sacchi during his editorial for the ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’ says he is satisfied with what he is seeing in Serie A: “I have to be honest: it seems to me that in this first part of the season Italian football is growing. It is on the move, and this must be underlined because we live in a stagnant country that has been dragging on with the usual problems for decades. Well, I believe that football , this football, finally different from that of the past, can also act as a driving force for other sectors of social life”.
The former technical commissioner then praised Marco Baroni’s Lazio, a team that after eliminating Napoli from the Italian Cup also beat Antonio Conte’s team in the championship: “I remember a phrase that my father repeated to me when he ran the family business: ‘If you want to hire people, first you have to know them perfectly’. It means that, to achieve success, it is essential to rely on collaborators who have a spirit of sacrifice. , desire to do, desire to improve. I tell the truth: in today’s Lazio I see the lesson that my father Augusto taught me.”
And finally: The other contenders for the Scudetto will have to deal with this Lazio. I would like it if there were many Barons in Italian football, men who spend themselves and work hard to try to win through merit, creating emotions and entertainment, and giving beauty to the public.”
