A man who does not grow old, a high-profile killer who celebrates like crazy every time he scores, who appears to be the champion of shooting and scoring goals, this is Inzaghi, the king of the small penalty areas that can compete with the world's top swordsmen such as Fanny and Raul.
Saki said that Inzaghi is for his own interests, for the sake of the players who can score goals, his magic is an art in itself, how can an artist be tired because of his hobbies and dreams? This is the spiritual sustenance of Inzaghi chasing countless goals year after year.
In terms of scoring goals alone, Pippo is a perfectionist. Every opponent, every goalkeeper, is the object of Inzaghi's research all day, supplemented by highly rigorous training, and the success of the King of the Little Penalty Zone has no element of chance, always chasing and challenging.
"For him, scoring is a drug, it's an orgasm", Albertini once described Inzaghi, perhaps the way of scoring goals is not artistic enough, but Pippo is always the nightmare of all opponents, his ability to predict the incoming ball, to start running early, always before everyone to find the receiving position and the direction of the pass.
Inzaghi is an equation that cannot be cracked in the green field, so much so that Mad as Mourinho also bluntly said, "Milan is the only one who makes me afraid.". Pippo's characteristic is that the way of scoring is incomparably single, not as colorful as other shooters, curves, volleys, pick shots, isolated from him, and the goal is either anti-offside or nudging in front of the goal. But over the years, has any opponent ever cracked this puzzle?
In the superhuman modern football, Inzaghi is an outlier, no strong body, explosive power is not outstanding, speed is not fast, passing is very ordinary, the technology is also stopped and shot, but it is so ordinary as you and me Pippo, but can always use all parts of the body to score goals, tear through the opponent's defense, Shevchenko sighed: "Worthy of respect but can not be emulated."
Maybe 0.1 seconds faster than his opponent's reaction, Inzaghi can complete the ultimate task on the football field, scoring goals. Saki's description is sharper: "Inzaghi is unmatched in the world in his ability to escape defense, he is a greedy predator in the penalty area, acting like tarantuta poisonous spiders (known for their poisons in the world), always maximizing his talents in scoring goals: attention, insight and perception." ”
Penalties are an indispensable part of the super scorer, but perhaps feel too cheap, Inzaghi has never been a penalty shootout for his previous teams, Juve have Piero, Milan have Piero, Kaka, 70 European goals only 4 penalties, but also show the 300 goals of his career spectacular and gold content, this Baggio is also ashamed of himself, career 318 goals, penalties accounted for 51.
Italy is rich in inspirational strikers, Rossi, Schillaci, but they have a few meteors, and there is no glory after a major competition. Pippo, after taking off the Golden Boot of Serie A in 1997, stood in Serie A for 15 years and remained spiritually unchanged after three serious injuries. Ibrahimovic, who looks down on everyone, also served his teammates, "I can't be 37 years old and can still do this", and Higuain also admired: "Inzaghi can never go wrong, he means scoring." ”
The football world has not completely elevated Inzaghi, the reason is justified, there is nothing wrong with it, but football is progressing in innovation, the degree of understanding must also be innovated, in the face of a person who has broken through the 300 mark, a person who has scored from the age of 18 to 35 years old, always keeping his own characteristics unchanged and persistently sending the ball into the opponent's door, no one can use the style of "not into the flow" and the lack of personal awards to "exclude" him.
At this time, the essence of Italian football's supremacy can best justify Inzaghi, no matter what way, to be able to kick the ball in is success, and the goal itself is a value embodiment. No matter how many people have loved him and hated him before, he has become the fourth 300 Warriors in Italy after Meazza, Piola and Baggio, and one of the 5 300 Warriors among the world's active players, they should bury their heads to watch and affirm his strength and style.
Anyone who criticizes him for picking up leaks and only offside should be ashamed in front of 300 goals. Picking up leaks and offsides, which were "despised" by people, were interpreted by Inzaghi as difficult, that is also a skill, how can others not do it? As Giovanni Agnelli said before he died, "If you even argue with Inzaghi, it's the end of football." Beckham said: "They all feel that the striker needs luck, but Inzaghi, without luck, is all ability." ”
Inzaghi's football is well known. Ferguson said: "He was born on the offside line and lived there for a long time", Pele said "he is not so much a striker as he is a ghost", fans say that the first foot touches the ball super, and then a second foot, and the third foot does not enter the stream. These all vividly summarize his rough skills, erratic running positions, and superb opportunities. Pirlo gave the highest rating: "Inzaghi is a goal-scoring incarnation. ”
Inzaghi also elaborated on his technical characteristics, "When people meet me, they often ask: Why are you so tall? They all thought I was the most appropriate at 1.60m, not 1.80m. There are a lot of players who are very strong, but I am not worried, every player has his characteristics and unique skills, and my physical condition and quality determine my characteristics on the field", this sentence clarifies Inzaghi's objective self-positioning and unchanging style pursuit.
There is no copy of his way
"Some people say that I am not very favored by Heaven, but I disagree, and the smell in front of the door is a gift from God. You also call me a 'thief in the forbidden zone,' and I don't think there's anything else you've noticed. I don't have the skills of a technical player, but a lot of times I'm staring at the defender, not the defender, and I can't get a chance to say so. "This sentence speaks to his natural and acquired advantages, living on the offside line and playing hide-and-seek with defenders are his weapons." I've always tried to keep playing the same way, but I know that I'm physically and explosively worse than I used to be, but mentally stronger. "Yes, now his goals have taken his sense of smell, his skill and his experience to the extreme.
Inzaghi never took the ball much, and at 35 he took the ball less than he did at 25. Just a casual glance at Pippo's goalscoring show will reveal that in the year he was elected top scorer in Atalanta, he shot hard, hit the goal outside the box, and had a lot of physical contact with the defender, and there was a clear mark of shooting opportunities after the struggle. Now it's a lot less, and it's enough to be in the right place.
His shots are rarely in the game (there was a half-time dribble run at Milan and finally broke the goal), but on closer inspection, many of them are not simply shots. In the 2001/02 season Milan vs. Bologna, he just went into the penalty area to pick out the shot, like Ronaldo's outside foot in the Milan derby; in the 2002/03 milan vs. Juve, he unloaded the ball on the tip of his back to the gate, buckled the ball horizontally over Montero, turned and sent it lightly, and wore a foot through Boufon's crotch; Juve against Manchester United, the cross landed near the penalty spot, he fell to the ground and stabbed his right foot, seemingly without power, but the ball flew into the net like a cannonball...
All this shows that not only is he more nervous than others (as the Milan lab has concluded), but he also has a unique shooting technique and time grasp, which is like Beckham's full moon curved knife, which also makes Inzaghi alone. Kaka said, "He reminds me of Romario," beckham said, "He's like Reinkel," none of them are exact, Inzaghi has no copy, he's the groundbreaker of this trait at the same time.
