When it comes to the Italian league, we will all have the impression of being old, because the reason why many forwards went to Serie A before is to retire, in fact, Serie A is currently very young, even Milan has a lot of young talents, not so much as a pension team, but rather a late success. Serie A has produced a lot of late-bloomer players, including Luca Tony, who is going to talk about today.
Luca Tony is the representative of the Italian striker, as a veteran, Tony does not have a brilliant resume, nor did he end up in a team, 22 years of career, to 15 teams, can be called a turbulent displacement, but Tony has always been full of enthusiasm, did not lose passion for football. Tony is a traditional Italian striker, tall, very strong, is synonymous with strength and impact, as a high school forward, Tony's header ability is outstanding, the foot technique is excellent, any aspect can meet the team's requirements for high school forwards, it can be said that Tony is the standard template for Italian forwards.
The last time we saw Tony win the honours was probably in 2015, when Tony was 38 years old but still a strong contender for the Serie A Golden Boot, even at the last minute ahead of Icardi, and the two eventually shared that year's Golden Boot. Tony not only won the honor, but also set a new record, becoming the oldest goalscorer in Serie A history. In fact, Tony's career has not always been smooth at the beginning, Tony even struggled to find a contract that can support him to continue his football career, the first time to the high-level league is only the Second Division, in 2000, Tony first appeared in serie A, Tony's idol is Robert Baggio, to be able to become a teammate with Baggio is Tony's dream, since then, Tony has shown excellent offensive characteristics, not only can become the front of the fulcrum, but also for teammates to make a wedding dress, Baggio also taught Tony a lot. Passing by great teammates, you will become great yourself.
After Tony to go to a number of teams, once briefly played in Bayern Munich, the final result is of course unsatisfactory, Tony's belonging is still Serie A, so there is a previous story, in Verona, Tony returned to the peak, the older the more demon said that Tony, a year after winning the Golden Boot, Tony announced his retirement, 301 goals is Tony's diligent testimony, but also the glory of the Italian forward. Tony is a late bloomer, and he was not well known until he was about to retire, and now Tony has returned to his family, comfortable with the situation, and do whatever he wants.
