萨基所对峙的足球哲学就是攻势足球,所以听到他评判阿森纳为“我最喜欢的一收球队”时其实不让人不测,但是当他们在本周二做客圣西罗与米兰停止欧冠第二回合比赛时,那位前米兰锻练相信他们将会实正意识到他们更佳获胜时机已颠末往了。
在1987年,萨基仍是一个默默无闻的小人物,他从帕尔马起家,然后是一收意乙球队,接掌米兰。从此起头,他立即设置了一收壮丽的、整体实力很强的,进攻性球队。
萨基在他父亲鞋厂担任主管曲到33岁,他被挖苦为欠缺足球布景,但是他很快证明了,根据他的话说,你不需要妈妈是一匹马才气当一个骑师,但是温格与之类似,温格历来没有效劳过顶级球队,他就像萨基的晚辈。“阿森纳在欧洲踢出最有趣,最协调,最有娱乐性的足球,”萨基说。“我实得很赏识温格和他执教的体例。他与年轻球员共事,塑造他们,之后,在准确时间卖掉他们。看看维埃拉、亨利、佩蒂特、皮雷。”
就像温格,萨基认为荷兰全攻全守足球是一个伟大的样板,就像温格在阿森纳执教第一个完全赛季就博得了联赛冠军。不像温格的是,他有两座欧洲奖杯撑腰,阿森纳在那方面很欠缺,他认为本赛季阿森纳在欧洲赛场上也不太可能有所改动。“年轻人所带来的倒霉影响就是像阿森纳和米兰角逐,”萨基阐明说。“阿森纳踢得更好,但是他们没有破门。”
“阿森纳在米兰半场可能夺球胜利有15-20次。米兰在阿森纳半场夺球胜利次数要少得多,阿森纳应该打进5个进球。他们应该掌握住他们的时机。为什么没有?因为阿森纳还年轻。当你年轻时,你有时会失往你的决心,你失往你的精神斗志,你失往你的重视力,你深思,根究别的一个时机将会在前面。有时阿森纳像是被吓住了,他们似乎很自恋,当他们有时机时,他们没有决心往掌握。”
“好比法布雷加斯。他是那个世界更佳的年轻球员之一。我很喜欢他,但是,对米兰角逐,他底子没有意识到他需要连结高速节拍。放慢节拍,他陷进到米兰陷阱中。我不是责备他:那是你需要为年轻球员生长所付出的代价。”
当然与阿森纳相反,米兰球员都是体味丰富宿将,那也有他们本身的问题。他们的锻练安切诺蒂曾是萨基手下的球员,在1989年与皇马的半决赛第二回合5:0横扫敌手时,打进了一个30码外的标致的远射。米兰顺畅传球通过中场,存眷多面手球员,那些都遵照着他以前锻练留下的传统。
“米兰踢出全攻全守足球,”萨基说。“他们踢出了标致足球。问题是他们只是欠缺几分连接性来做到那点。他们只是没有那个实力和耐久力来做到那点。看看往年。”
“他们有才能在球场上做到那点,好比对拜仁或对曼联。我意思是,他们在圣西罗进攻曼联的体例是惊人的。但是事实上安切诺蒂有的是老球员。他们身体无法承担角逐的要求。”
次要是因为他们有一个18岁帕托,那是他们独一一个25岁以下球员,首回合米兰首发均匀年龄是29.3岁,但是那照旧远远超越了阿森纳均匀年龄24.5岁。
荒唐的是,年龄既是阿森纳的优势也是阿森纳的优势。
假设他们要往倾覆米兰,萨基说他们必需提防起头“过分于间接”,不要太依靠长传找阿德巴约,那是萨基认为阿森纳在第一回合犯下一个错误。
让人感兴致就是马尔蒂尼和卡拉泽互订交换了位置,那与他们联赛中位置相反,马尔蒂尼打左后卫,卡拉泽打中后卫。
那也许是因为马尔蒂尼在那些天踢得很少,安切诺蒂不想突破内斯塔和卡拉泽的中路同伴,但是那可能同样因为他期看节约那位39岁球员体力来和阿德巴约身体匹敌。但是即便如斯,当阿森纳将球分边,交给猛冲的埃布埃或赫莱布,他们看起来是最有威胁的。
无论周二发作什么,萨基其实不情愿责备温格。“我期看每收球队都像阿森纳一样踢球,”他说。“阿森纳代表着足球的美妙一面。”
Sacchi: Arsenal were scared and narcissistic
By Jonathan Wilson

Given Arrigo Sacchi's ideological insistence on attacking football, it is no great surprise to learn that he rates Arsenal as "one of my favourite teams", but as they approach the second leg of their Champions League tie against AC Milan this Tuesday, the former Milan coach believes they will do so in the knowledge that their best chance to win it has passed.
Sacchi was a virtual unknown when, in 1987, he was elevated from Parma, then a Serie B side, to take over at Milan. Once there, he immediately set about imposing his vision of a highly-integrated, attacking team.
Having worked as a director at his father's shoe factory until he was 33, he was ridiculed for his lack of footballing background, but he soon proved that, to use his phrase, you don't have to have been born a horse to be a jockey. In 10 years he went from being a shoe salesman to winning the European Cup, ending the Italian reliance on the libero as he did so. Arsenal may not be so revolutionary, but there is a sense in which Arsene Wenger, who also never played top-class football, is Sacchi's heir. "Arsenal play the most fun, the most harmonious, the most entertaining football in Europe," Sacchi said. "I really admire Wenger and his way of doing things. He works with young players, forms them and then sells them at the right time. Look at Vieira, Henry, Petit, Pires."
Like Wenger, Sacchi speaks of the Dutch Total Football sides as the great archetype, and like Wenger at Arsenal he won the league in his first full season in charge. Unlike Wenger, though, he backed it up with two European Cups, and Arsenal's deficiency in that regard he thinks unlikely to change this season. "The downside of having youngsters is that you get situations like Arsenal v Milan," Sacchi explained. "Arsenal played better, but they have little to show for it.
"Arsenal won the ball in Milan's half maybe 15 or 20 times. Had Milan won the ball in Arsenal's half that many times, they would have scored five goals. They would have capitalised on those chances. Why? Because Arsenal are young. And when you're young there are times when you lose your determination, you lose your crispness, you lose your focus, you settle, thinking another chance will come along. There were times when Arsenal seemed scared, when they seemed narcissistic, when they were not as determined as they could have been.
"Take Fabregas. He is one of the best young players in the world. I like him a lot. But, against Milan, he didn't quite grasp the idea that he needed to keep the tempo high. By varying it, he played into their hands. I'm not criticising him; it's the price you pay for going with young players."
The flipside of that, of course, is that Milan's experience comes with age, which brings problems of its own. Carlo Ancelotti, their coach, was a player under Sacchi, scoring the majestic 30-yard drive that set them on their way to their awesome 5-0 semi-final second-leg victory over Real Madrid in 1989. In Milan's fluidity through midfield and the focus on multi-functional players, traces of his former manager remain.
"Milan play total football," Sacchi said. "And they play good football. The problem is that they just can't do it with any kind of continuity. They just don't have the strength and stamina for it. Look at last year.
They were able to do it in patches: against Bayern Munich or against Manchester United, for example. I mean, the way they attacked United at San Siro was breathtaking. But the fact is that Ancelotti has older players. There is only so much your body can give to this game."
Largely because of the inclusion of the 18-year-old Pato - their only player under 25 - the average age of Milan's starting outfield players in the first leg was 29.3, but that still far exceeds Arsenal's average age of 24.5.
Age, paradoxically, is both Arsenal's weakness and their opportunity.
If they are to upset Milan, Sacchi says they must guard against becoming "too vertical", against relying too much on the long ball to Emmanuel Adebayor, which he felt was a fault in the first leg.
It is intriguing in that context that Paolo Maldini and Kakha Kaladze switched the positions they usually take up in the league, so that Maldini was at left-back with Kaladze in the middle.
That might be because Maldini plays only rarely these days, and Ancelotti didn't want to break up the Alessandro Nesta-Kaladze partnership, but it could equally have been that he wanted to spare the 39-year-old a physical battle against Adebayor. But even if that is so, it was when Arsenal got the ball wide, to the on-rushing Emmanuel Eboue or Alexander Hleb, that they looked at their most dangerous.
Whatever happens on Tuesday, though, Sacchi is reluctant to be critical of Wenger. "I wish everyone were like Arsenal," he said. "Arsenal are good for football."
