The Nice coach, Francesco Farioli, next to the Milan bench for the post-Pioli period, told his idea of football
The name of Francesco Farioli is continuing to be insistently linked to the bench of Milan. The coach who is surprising everyone with his Nice, spoke about his way of understanding football and the role models he has as coaches. These are his statements to the microphones of Changing Room Chronicles.
WORDS – «If you ask me for my references, it is normal to mention Guardiola’s Barcelona or Cruyff’s Ajax, or Sacchi’s Milan. Epochal teams that changed football. But for me it becomes difficult not to remember Mourinho’s Inter or in some ways Allegri’s Juventus. The phase in which you have to close down or stay lower, although I don’t like that the team has this attitude, is a phase of the match in which you are forced and for this reason it must be trained. Today a complete and competitive team is a team that knows how to do all the phases in different ways and that knows how to be well blended within these phases. I feel like a 100% Italian coach if we talk about being meticulous and attentive to detail, while if we talk about being speculators I would say 0%, it depends on the definition you give of an Italian coach».
