Sacchi responded to the criticism aimed at Inzaghi for Inter's Coppa Italia semi -final defeat against AC Milan. The Rossonero hit Inter 3-0 to destroy the high hope of the Nerazzurri.
Sacchi said to La Gazzetta Dello Sport: “Fortunately, there are still wise directors, with their heads going on. I wonder, after what we have seen in recent seasons: how can we discuss Simone Inzaghi?
“The world of football is sometimes incomprehensible. Well, if they criticize Ancelotti in Madrid (Carlo), now everything goes …
“Let's rewind the tape: after the victory in Munich against Bayern, he was a phenomenon and 15 days later, more or less, did he become a donkey?
“Placing a coach in the dock because he has lost a few games is not part of my way of thinking. Then there may also be mistakes that have been made, of course. But I ask those who now complain: have you ever made a mistake or are you perfect? ​​Thin humanum est, and it seems to me that no one can consider themselves immune.”
“Inzaghi had to do it”
Inzaghi was also attacked for the team selection that was used against Milan, with a view to the semi -final of the Champions League against Barcelona next week.
Sacchi added: “If he did it, it means he needed it. I don't know a coach who shoots himself in the foot. Of course the second lines of Inter are not at the same level as the starters. But I don't know a team, where the quality of the reserves is similar to that of the starters.
“Even Real Madrid … It makes sense that (Davide) Fratesi is not (Nico) Barella, that (Kristjan) Asllani does not have (Hakan) Calhanoglu's class or that (Mehdi) Taremi has no impact like (Marcus) Thuram. If you have to take this season.”
