Well, the difference with how you treated someone like Zola, a similar type of player you had at Juventus in Zinedine Zidane, is it fair that your next job at Juventus, you maybe treated that player slightly differently in how you got him into the team?
Was it fair to say the 4-4-2 system was a big influence of Sacchi at Milan and that was someone you worked with with the Italian national team as well?
Is that where that influence came and so basically Zidane changed your philosophy really from the Sacchi model?
How much did you learn at Juventus as a manager and how much experience did you get?
Because you came really close to winning the title, I think twice on the last day, and also you played Manchester United in the semi-final of the Champions League in 1999.
You were really close to winning the big trophies.
Did that help you a lot with experience and how to deal with pressure going forward in your managerial career?
What was the decision you had to make with AC Milan?
Was that difficult going back to a team that you obviously played for?
Is that difficult to go back as a manager?
I think it was the dog.
Was it the dog?
Yeah, it was the dog.
I was saying when you go back to AC Milan as a manager, is that difficult when you've been such a great player at AC Milan to go back as a manager of a club?
You were very successful at Milan and two Champions League wins, but the first one against your old club, Juventus, in England, in Manchester... You could win the third one.
Yeah, we stole it.
You told me we stole it, I understand.
But was that a big moment for you?
That first one, that first big trophy when Shevchenko scores the penalty, was that a huge moment for you in AC Milan after what had happened at Juventus?
I was just talking about the player who got the goal in that game in Shevchenko and he was one of the greatest strikers in the world when you were managing him.
