Filippo Inzaghi went offside in a thousand times, but really he was just outside the game: the famous forward now retired and took the helm of the
AC Milan youth. On this occasion,
GoloFootball tells the story of
Superpippo.
In the spacious House of the parents of Filippo and Simone Inzaghi, San Nicolò, a room that will describe the football career of sons of better and more colourfully no repertories and encyclopedias. Photos, newspaper clippings, awards and an entire wall a little, so the range is still a bunch of boxes of memories. Pippo family (relatives of the nicknames do not exist solely to Filippo) friendly, much of it can be called a typical footballer. Father Giancarlo himself managed to play at a modest level, unrealized ambitions remained, and the wife is very incidentally had two sons. The head of the family with young nails instilled love of football, his mother Marina was not opposed, but provided that the training would not be offside: Filippo graduated from high school, and later at the insistence of my mother received and higher education.
Local football section, the eldest of the sons of Inzaghi hit the age of seven, remember that for the sake of this even had to falsify documents is too small yet was future Bombardier. Interestingly, the first case tried at the gate. Filippo Very often in his youth years gloves are the least technical guys, Pippo and really never shone – skilled in his other strong qualities that unfold in the future. Fortunately, these did not include vratarskoe art, and soon the guy forwards. And he began to score. Nobody could say - as it turns out, but it worked!
From San Nicolò to Piacenza at hand, geography has the name itself as the first professional haven Inzaghi. "Wolves have never been a great club, at the time of the debut of 18-year-old Filippo they even in the series not happened. However, he played for Piacenza Pippo only two matches, followed by a link to the Club Leffe in Serie C1. Thirteen goals in 21 match, the awareness that football is not just entertainment, and will be, and hope in the future season play against AC Milan and
Juventus, as Piacenza won a seat.
Just went to Club elite Inzaghi without him - a new lease in Verona (Serie B) postponed the introduction of a young striker with football on the Apennines and in Piacenza on such decision taking is gaining a foothold in the top flight. Filippo will help his native Club to win a new ticket in the class is the strongest in a year, and while he love the fans Verona. They are nicknamed Inzaghi first Peter Pen, and then someone who penned at its transparency, Alberto is a familiar word now is Superpippo. By the way, the striker has not reduced its effectiveness in comparison with the previous season, scoring 13 goals are the same. The following is still 15 already for Piacenza, which became the winner of the Serie B, in the elite Pippo made his debut with another team.
Parma is a completely different level. Coached her well Nevio Scala familiar on how to work with the us to Spartak attack partner and the possess stellar status. Unfortunately, really consider actually a Duet with Hristo Stoičkov failed: Pippo had time to adapt to the new conditions, the competitors do not, and to top it off dremali all troubles happened nasty injury is a fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone. A long recovery, otgonâemye thoughts on career and resolved to change the Club residence in search of valuable match practice.
Such words erupted at the Bombardier coach Atalanta Emiliano Mondonico. Inzaghi put bergams in the middle of the standings, scoring 24 goals in a season (more than half of all balls team and best personal record in Serie a). Features familiar to us already then began to gain clarity: Superpippo constant moving, searching for free zones, circle through the offside and beyond, as well as frequent strikes and frequent failures. Filippo has always been a scorer "middle range", the best he knew how to correctly open and on time to meet with the ball. His points and goals were made not of mind-blowing feints and powerful strikes, but from the irrepressible roughing work on TV it is very difficult to consider.
After a stunning season launched a hunt for Inzaghi. Parma was rocking in banknotes, convincing Pippo back, Atlético call to Spain, but Juventus moved all and have not regretted. At that time, for sure. First season for Signora turned Gold, and Filippo missed one goal to four dozen joint. Not enough goals in the Champions League final, where stronger turned out
Real Madrid. Then at Juventus came the recession, once even had to play in the UEFA Intertoto Cup, the intricacies of which brought Juventus ", for example, in Rostov-na-Donu. Famous Italian guests have won local Rostselmash won 4: 0 and the game Superpippo scored twice.
After one disastrous season Juventus twice stayed one step away from the title, but hurt live Pippo another circumstance, and his name is
Del Piero. Everything was fine in Turin – nightlife, girls, but relations with Sandro categorically does not have. All would be nothing, but a confrontation outside the leaders began to affect the game. After the match with Venice, where Alex and Filippo refuse to notice each other, even had to convene a special press-conference, at which had to lie about peace, friendship and bubble-gum. Appearance in Turin, David Trezeguet (which the "Golden goal" buried Italy in the final of the Euro) has an excellent opportunity for a quick parting with Inzaghi. Old Seniora got goodbye portion of bile, but Mom hid a photograph of Filippo Maria, in the form of Juve in the far room box fame.
Bar career in Milan-the longest and most significant. Inzaghi finally gained its reputation as a striker, propisavšegosâ offside. You could say he was the leader of this style-if any young or not so people at a match more than five times forced the Assistant Referee raised check box is selected, the name evoked by Filippo instantly. Only he has opposed many of his followers. Inzaghi not only eating, drinking, sleeping and generally lives in the offside-once joke one Italian journalist, Inzaghi also scored. Rather, it is difficult to speak in scoring – past tense when many points still stand in front of your eyes.
A triumphal pages was enough and alone are of course two victorious Champions League final. The first of these Superpippo along with AC Milan beat Juventus on penalties "-one way or another, the revenge was sweet. But four years later, Inzaghi and became the hero of the decisive match, having scored a goal against Liverpool. There were trophies Italian bottling and world team Crown, even to the Victoria is not so great, but my goal in the 1934 tournament Pippo held and always great playing t-shirt No1 striker, scoring almost every second match. And in 2007, Inzaghi was Gaetano Scirea Award for exemplary career. I wonder what got her Filippo a year earlier than - Alessandro del Piero honored at 2008-another little prick old comrade?
Signora Marina Inzaghi has always waited for the day when the sons of hang nail boots. In her dreams they live in their hometown of San Nicolò, where open a football school and train children. At least with the elder sibling plans strictly opposite. Filippo has already said that he dreams of winning the Champions League with AC Milan as coach. It's all in the future, but for now must serve a two-year contract Superpippo, according to which it is to mentor youth rossoneri. Johan Cruyff once spoke about Inzaghi as follows: "He does not know how to play football ... Just always turns out to be in the right place. Well, more will demonstrate their Pippo ineptitude, but it's still going to be in the right place. It is not out of the game, just changed the role and position.
