Jakarta –
Former AC Milan manager, Arrigo Sacchisuggest that Inter Milan forget the intention of building an attack line consisting of Romelu LukakuLautaro Martinez, and Paulo Dybala.
Dybala is expected to join for free after leaving Juventus. Inter are also in talks with Chelsea over Lukaku’s loan spell.
Sacchi compared the strategy to Real Madrid Galacticos’ plans in the early 2000s which saw them go five seasons without winning a Champions League knockout game – and urged Inter to focus on balance.
“I always say you don’t make a team with statues,” Sacchi told Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I was at Real Madrid as a director in 2004-05 and they asked me to coach (the team). Do you know what the attacking line is?
“I’ll tell you: (David) Beckham, Raul, Ronaldo, (Zinedine) Zidane, (Luis) Figo. On the bench the first benches were (Fernando) Morientes and (Michael) Owen. It’s not a team, it’s a movie. . But it has no plot.”
“So I thanked the president, but said no. To protect the defence, you will need two defenders with bulletproof vests. The team always needs balance.”
Sacchi said his main concern was the attacking trio. He felt the attacking trio would not be willing to sacrifice themselves for the team.
“The spirit of sacrifice and the physical characteristics of the players are very basic. I don’t believe, although I could be wrong, that Lukaku, Lautaro and Dybala have these qualities.”
