Former "Milan" coach Arrigo Sacchi compared the current Madrid "Real" team to the team he coached in the past in the fashion capital of Italy.
Under A. Sacchi's leadership, "Milan" managed to win as many as eight titles in four years, two of which were UEFA Champions League titles. According to the Italian, "Real" is a technically skilled team that maintains a fantastic pace.
"I love teams that control the ball and the game, and in this regard, the Madrid club is considered a master," said A. Sacchi. "In some ways, they remind me of the great 'Milan'."
"This 'Real' team is slightly more technical than the former 'Milan', but they don't press opponents as much when they lose the ball. They know how to play with the ball, and their game tempo is fantastic.
Carlo Ancelotti has already done a great job with this team. It is certainly not easy to coach a team like 'Real'. I feel a certain envy because this coach brought a great spirit to Madrid," added the Italian who spent a year as the sports director of "Real".
