Former Roma forward Antonio Cassano has openly criticized Jose Mourinho’s tactical approach during his time at the club, stating that it amounts to ‘nothing’. In contrast, he praised Maurizio Sarri, highlighting how Sarri’s passion for the game is evident, as he “doesn’t give a f*” about conventional tactics. This bold statement is just the latest in a series of pointed remarks from Cassano, who has previously taken jabs at both Max Allegri and Simone Inzaghi this season. Moreover, Cassano claims to have turned down a transfer to Juventus on four separate occasions, demonstrating his commitment to his principles.
During an appearance on BoboTV, the outspoken 40-year-old compared the styles of football employed by Sarri and Mourinho in the capital city, making a clear case for why he favors Sarri’s approach. He expressed his views passionately, stating:
“Sarri loves football, while he doesn’t give a f*. Mourinho? People bring him up like he’s…who knows who, but he wins with cunning, while Sarri plays fantastic football. Mourinho’s football is nothing. Of course, if you look at the awards, it’s another matter, but we shouldn’t be fooled. One is capable of doing his job, the other is just in the movies. I have no idea how Roma play and I don’t understand how they get results.
He continued, elaborating on his thoughts about Mourinho’s coaching prowess, saying,
“Before he was a great coach, today whether he coaches Real Madrid or San Martín, it’s the same thing. If he returns to Real, it’s only because of his status; if they want to play football, they won’t call him.”
This statement reflects Cassano’s strong opinions on what constitutes effective football and coaching, revealing the ongoing debate about tactical styles in modern football.
