Arrigo Sacchi's AC Milan team, considered one of the best of all time, was well-known for its beautiful, "positive" football. Readers of this blog should not be surprised to learn that Sacchi's success was also due to great defense. As Jonathan Wilson writes in
Inverting the Pyramid:
His achievements [at Fiorentina] got him the manager's job at Parma, then in Serie C1. He won promotion in a first season in which they conceded just fourteen goals in thirty four matches — his attacking principles were always predicated on a sound defense.
Cheers, Arrigo!
