Juan Sebastian Veron insists his ex-Lazio boss Sven Goran Eriksson is “the best I ever worked with,” even more than Sir Alex Ferguson.
The Argentina legend spoke to 90min.com about his career in both Serie A and the Premier League with Manchester United.
“I arrived in Serie A at the best time for that league. It was rich in names and football. [It is] a very difficult championship because it's a very tactical tournament.
Juan Sebastian Veron insists his ex-Lazio boss Sven Goran Eriksson is “the best I ever worked with,” even more than Sir Alex Ferguson.
The Argentina legend spoke to 90min.com about his career in both Serie A and the Premier League with Manchester United.
“I arrived in Serie A at the best time for that league. It was rich in names and football. [It is] a very difficult championship because it's a very tactical tournament.
“The Premier League is the opposite – free from all tactics and is about constantly going up and down the pitch. That makes it much easier on the eyes than the Italian league.”
Veron was asked to name the best Coach he ever worked with and had no doubts pointing to his days at Lazio, even when asked about Ferguson.
“I didn't pay much attention to the tactical details. In reality, I played, I paid attention, I knew what was being said – because obviously you are obviously within a group – but I always paid a lot of attention to team management, always.
“For me, the best at that who I worked with was Sven-Goran Eriksson. I hardly ever experienced any kind of problems in his teams. And they were groups with strong personalities.
“He got on with everyone very well and ultimately that made us win, especially at Lazio.”
Eriksson’s Lazio in the late 1990s and early 2000s won the Scudetto, two Coppa Italia trophies, two Italian Super Cups, the Cup Winners Cup and European Super Cup.
