Arrigo Sacchi is courting controversy once more, albeit in a less volatile manner, by suggesting that Carlos Tevez is a better footballer than Roberto Baggio.
He was giving his opinion off the back of the Argentine striker’s two goal salvo and assist which saw him help Juventus eliminate Borussia Dortmund from the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Speaking to Sportmediaset about Tevez, his thoughts soon wandered to The Divine Ponytail: “Tevez is an extraordinary player who is lethal in front of goal and always available to help his teammates in difficult times.
“He has great strength but is also unselfish and is certainly the leader of this Juventus team. Roberto Baggio was equipped with clear quality and class but he had more drawbacks than the Argentine.
“Tevez, thanks to his physical qualities and rock solid mentality, is always looking to help his teammates as I said. It is not easy to do that at this level.”
Sacchi would seem more equipped than most to make the claim having coached Baggio during his time in charge of the Italian national team, most notably at the 1994 World Cup.
