And when I spoke with him for the first time in my home, I said, Frank,
I don't want to tell you anything about when you go forward.
I want to improve you as an Italian manager.
You must improve to defend the team.
But with Franco, Franco was an amazing player, intelligent player, because, you know, sometimes you speak about the players, you explain, you show, you watch the match, the situation, and maybe they understand
I don't understand.
And you repeat, we repeat.
With Frank, once, you explain, and you remember.
Fantastic.
I think now it's easier because the football...
and the premier league are watching all the world and then you can understand what means premier league of course long time ago without a lot matches in television was more difficult to understand the premier league a long time ago
I'm honest, I didn't like the English football because every time the high ball and the midfielders were there.
Good battle, but no play football.
Now there are a lot of managers who change tactics, play on the field, play high, change.
And that is important for the manager.
In Italy, maybe the tactics are too important, but every manager and every player can play 4-3-3, three on the back, can change during the match.
When I made this a long time ago in Cagliari, I was crazy for the journalists.
But now, after 20 years, a lot of managers make this.
And I saved Cagliari because I changed the system during the match because the opponent was used to play, for example, with a three on the back, five midfielder, two striker, and suddenly you change this shape and the opponent for 10 minutes, 15 minutes, maybe for all the rest of the match, he...
does understand that you can score, you can draw, you can win.
