Pippo: Not Bad For A Poor Player

F365.co.uk

It will soon be time to hug 2007, give it its overcoat and a tube ticket and watch it toddle off into the sunset, simultaneously giving a firm handshake (but not too firm - you don't want to come across as a macho, insecure type or rugby player) to 2008.

But who has had a 2007 to remember? Gordon Brown has seen his dreams and then nightmares come true, smoothy Nicolas Sarkozy has become a household name and Rihanna caught the eye with her umbrella. The lovely Charlotte Church has become a mother and rubber-faced climate crusader Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize.

In the world of Italian football one man stands above the rest as a winner of the past year, and he is a physically unimpressive yet lethal fella - step forward (probably in an offside position) Filippo Inzaghi.

This 34-year-old is a mystery to football experts and fans alike. He doesn't have pace, can't beat a defender, looks about as strong as Woody Allen (on TV at least) and according to his many critics, including Johan Cruyff, can't play football.

But SuperPippo has come back from severe injuries over the past few seasons and achieved some massive milestones this year. With old age seeming to set in with the onset of niggling fitness problems, and the arrival in 2005/06 of Alberto Gilardino and then Ronaldo in 2006/07, it looked like the slender, flimsy figure of the Milan number 9 was going to be seen less and less moaning at linesmen across the continent.

But the man has two things that you can't teach - iron self-belief and unbreakable discipline. Those that have seen him in the flesh vouch for his bigger-than-you'd expect frame and heavily-muscled thighs. He doesn't have a torso like Adriano, but his legs are more than powerful enough, from hours of exercise at Milan's snazzy Milanello training complex.

His dedication to his trade is so strong that he famously eats pasta without any sauce, as that would be fattening. Teammate and pal Gennaro Gattuso once claimed in an interview that he loves his wife's cooking too much to merely eat undressed pasta, and thinks Pippo is crazy for refusing to give in to the temptation of a beautiful bowl of amatriciana or carbonara.

His golden 2007 started with his well-taken goal in Germany against Bayern München in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and then continued into the final of the competition, in which he scored twice. The first was lucky, but the second was class. To net twice in the final was a dream come true for the crafty predator, and he continued his good form with the equaliser in the UEFA Super Cup in August against Sevilla, which Milan won.

Then, at the beginning of this month, his goal in the Champions League victory over Celtic was his 63rd in UEFA competitions, making him the leading scorer in history. Not bad for someone who can't play the game.

He is currently in Tokyo with the Rossoneri, participating in the World Club Cup, and is taking it very seriously indeed. He wants to win the trophy and really, really wants to score in the final. With Ronaldo's fitness still an issue, and Gilardino not guaranteed a starting place, SuperPippo has every chance of capping a remarkable year with more glory. He is a fine example to those who might not be blessed with Drogba's speed and muscles, but are prepared to work hard, make sacrifices and eat pasta on its own (note to excited students - the pasta bit alone doesn't make you a winner).

Pippo, you're an irritating weedy twerp at times, but good luck in Tokyo.

Great article, puts things into perpesctive!
Oh so many cliches!

I love this one

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson once quipped, "Pippo Inzaghi was born in an offside position."

Years Club Appear/Gls
1991-92 Piacenza 3/0
1992-93 SC Leffe 21/13
1993-94 Hellas Verona 37/14
1994-95 Piacenza 41/17

1997-01 Juventus 165/89

Not bad

Oustanding record for Juve - better than a goal every two games.

OVERRATED !!

Silly reply that is!

I don't think you can call him overrated, you could call him annoying or cheap but not overrated... as much as i dislike both Juve and Milan - he's popped up for them whilst playing time and time again with crucial goals...

so he's unorthodox at team, so he's not the most technically gifted striker, but he scores goals which is his job - he's effective

[pires7]

not a player you would pay to watch, but any team would live his preditorial instincts for big matches!

He doesn't have a torso like Adriano, but his legs are more than powerful enough, from hours of exercise at Milan's snazzy Milanello training complex.

His dedication to his trade is so strong that he famously eats pasta without any sauce, as that would be fattening. Teammate and pal Gennaro Gattuso once claimed in an interview that he loves his wife's cooking too much to merely eat undressed pasta, and thinks Pippo is crazy for refusing to give in to the temptation of a beautiful bowl of amatriciana or carbonara.

His golden 2007 started with his well-taken goal in Germany against Bayern München in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and then continued into the final of the competition, in which he scored twice. The first was lucky, but the second was class. To net twice in the final was a dream come true for the crafty predator, and he continued his good form with the equaliser in the UEFA Super Cup in August against Sevilla, which Milan won.

Then, at the beginning of this month, his goal in the Champions League victory over Celtic was his 63rd in UEFA competitions, making him the leading scorer in history. Not bad for someone who can't play the game.

He is currently in Tokyo with the Rossoneri, participating in the World Club Cup, and is taking it very seriously indeed. He wants to win the trophy and really, really wants to score in the final. With Ronaldo's fitness still an issue, and Gilardino not guaranteed a starting place, SuperPippo has every chance of capping a remarkable year with more glory. He is a fine example to those who might not be blessed with Drogba's speed and muscles, but are prepared to work hard, make sacrifices and eat pasta on its own (note to excited students - the pasta bit alone doesn't make you a winner).

Pippo, you're an irritating weedy twerp at times, but good luck in Tokyo.

OVERRATED !!

flowers was over rated. He is the leading scorer in UEFA comps of all times, a double champions league and world cup winner.

You have no argument little man.

isnt raul the leading scorer in all uefa comps followed by RVN

[El Pibe D'Oro]

I think it includes UEFA Cup, CL, UEFA Super Cup etc etc.

Raul has most CL goals.
