PRAISE FOR HAKAN FROM ARRIGO SACCHI
Meanwhile, former Italy manager Arrigo Sacchi spoke to Gazzetta dello Sport about Hakan Çalhanoğlu.
In his statement, the famous coach said, ''Çalhanoğlu is doing very well and, above all, he is doing a lot. You can see him in every area of the pitch; he runs and makes his teammates run.''
Continuing his words, Sacchi commented, ''Looking back, we can say that it was a mistake for Milan to let him go, but these are situations often encountered in football. We didn't take Andrea Pirlo. Then we saw what he became. Çalhanoğlu had already shown he was good at Milan, but back then he was an attacking midfielder, or at most a left midfielder. Now the situation is different. He is now a complete team player. By changing his function, he has proven to be a young man with a high intellectual level. He understood what his qualities and the team's needs were. He made himself ready, and a new Çalhanoğlu was born.''
The Italian coach concluded his words as follows: ''Hakan is showing an extraordinary personality, just like Pirlo did. In my opinion, he is in the top three in Europe in that position. We see this in Champions League matches as well. He is everywhere on the pitch and, above all, he has the personality to lead the team.''
