Baggio: “In the 90s everyone followed Sacchi and it was difficult for me. Zola had to emigrate”

Retirement and the relationship with football are some of the topics addressed by Roberto Baggio during the long interview granted to Sky today: “I missed playing. I miss the pitch, not the rest. At the beginning I wanted to disconnect completely and I wanted to understand what to do when I grow up and then yes, every now and then the desire comes back to you, you think about it and then luckily one thought remains. Being a coach or a manager? You have to be inclined to do certain things and perhaps I don’t consider myself worthy of doing them”.

Sacchi and his way of playing: “He had created this school and everyone followed him. So, for those who had my role, which wasn’t well defined, it was difficult. If I think of Zola who had to go to England to play… it’s funny, isn’t it? It was a difficult moment for those who had our role. I think the coach is very important but football is still done by the players, luckily. We need people who understand what their role is: one is the coach and the other the player”.
