Ex-AC Milan coach Sacchi: Napoli striker Cavani no Van Basten

Former AC Milan boss Arrigo Sacchi is disparaging of those who are enjoying Napoli's title challenge.

For many it's a throwback to the 1980s when Sacchi's Milan were competing with Diego Maradona's Napoli.

But Sacchi says: "I would say that the current league has nothing to do with the one where Napoli and Milan competed for the Scudetto in the late '80s. At that time there were many other values. Today there is only the result."

Asked if you could compare Napoli striker Edinson Cavani with Milan legend Marco van Basten, Sacchi replied: "El Matador is very strong, is a great man and a great professional.

"But the connection between them does not exist."
