Milan got the better deal when they swapped Antonio Cassano for Inter’s Giampaolo Pazzini in the summer, says Arrigo Sacchi.
The two former Sampdoria” data-scaytid=”1″>Sampdoria teammates switched sides of the San Siro before the 2012-13 campaign began.
“Cassano is a real talent but totally unreliable,” the former Milan and Italian national team boss commented. “Pazzini has less talent but is certainly more reliable.
“I’ve always believed in squad ethics and I have always chosen players who were, first of all, professionals with great motivation and generosity.
“Cassano is a lovable character, but sometimes the valve blows and he loses control. Hopefully that won’t happen again.”
Sacchi’s comments come after Cassano was dropped at the weekend following a dressing room row with Inter boss Andrea Stramaccioni.
Pazzini, meanwhile, scored a brace in the 3-0 win over Lazio.
