Italian star Inzaghi, what is his status in football history?

It is a very happy thing to be said to play football like Inzaghi.

I remember when I was playing football when I was young, there was a teammate in the team who enjoyed such praise. Whenever he scored a goal in the penalty area, we would praise him, "Your skills are so good, just like Inzaghi."

He was also very happy after hearing this and said that Inzaghi is also my idol. I usually love his game and appreciate his skills very much.

Since Inzaghi has retired for a long time, he is relatively familiar with fans born in the 70s and 80s. Fans born in the 2000s who were born earlier may not have seen his games. Here I will tell you about his career resume so that everyone can become more familiar with his skills.

Before writing the article, let me make a conclusion, that is, Inzaghi's style of play has also changed a lot. His early playing was different from his later playing, and he also experienced two transformations in the middle.

He made his career debut in Piacenza. In 1991, when he was 18 years old, he played for the team in the Italian Cup. Later, he was loaned to Verona and other teams for training.

In the beginning, he will mainly play as a forward, and occasionally play on the wing. He has certain dribbling and breakthrough abilities.

Inzaghi’s early skills were similar to Ronaldo’s. He could dart left and right, pass two or three opponents and then score. Although his dribbling flexibility and agility are not as strong as Ronaldo's, they are enough in the Italian arena and are very popular.

To say that Inzaghi first became known to the majority of fans was in Parma. In those years, Parma's performance was pretty good. It was at its peak, with outstanding results in the European war. It was also able to compete with strong teams such as Juventus in the league, and almost won the championship. It was considered a top team.

In the 1990s, Parma was considered a strong team. Inzaghi came here with the intention of making a name for himself here.

He was reused at the beginning. Head coach Scala trusted him very much and even made him a starter. He also wanted to train this young man. Unfortunately, Inzaghi suffered a fifth metatarsal fracture in December and was sidelined for nearly three months. This injury caused him to lose his position in the team.

Parma was originally full of stars, and later famous players such as Crespo and Chiesa came. Buffon and Cannavaro were also on the team, and the overall strength was very strong.

Seeing that the team changed its head coach and many new players came to the team, Inzaghi made a rational decision in order to get playing time. He was going to leave the team and go to Atlanta to train and upgrade.

This time of turning a corner to save the country truly saved Inzaghi's career. Staying in Parma, he may not have so many playing opportunities, but in Atlanta, he is like a duck in water here and really shows his ability.

In the 1996-1997 season, Inzaghi scored 25 goals and won the top scorer in Serie A.

This year, Inzaghi's performance was phenomenal, and it can be said that he has unlimited glory. In Atlanta, he really can do anything and can score any goal for you. Volley barbs, long shots, grabbing points, any kind of shooting method he can kick in for you, and he can even dribble outside the penalty area and violently hit the goal.

Let everyone see the potential of a world-class shooter.

With his outstanding performance, he cannot escape the attention of wealthy families. After the end of the season, Juventus did not hesitate and immediately offered an olive branch to sign Inzaghi, allowing him to partner with Del Piero to form the youngest and most energetic duo in Serie A.

In order to adapt to the team, Inzaghi underwent a transformation at Juventus. It turns out that his playing style is still a bit forward, that is, he can take the ball and dribble into the penalty area. Since Juventus still has Del Piero, and the team also has stars such as Zidane, Inzaghi will stay more in the center to grab points in order to better help the team.

At this time, he began to strengthen his tactics of running without the ball and receiving the ball. However, he pursued dribbling too much and would focus more on grabbing points and receiving crosses from teammates to score goals. His style of play would become simpler.

In addition, during this process, Inzaghi also developed some support and response skills. He can retreat to get the ball, cooperate with his teammates, and have a wide range of running.

At this time, it can be said that he is an "all-round striker". He will play whatever the team needs him to do. 442 will play as a double forward, and 433 will play as a center. He can adapt to these tactics.

At Juventus, his scoring rate is quite good. He can score more than ten goals every season and his status is relatively stable.

Between 1997 and 2001, this was Inzaghi's peak period. When his skills were at their best, his physical function and condition were also at a relatively good stage.

But unfortunately, Inzagui's body is relatively fragile and he is often injured. At Juventus, he encountered minor injuries and was absent many times, and his condition fluctuated. Under the long-term injuries, the older Inzaghi's condition began to decline, and his subsequent performance was a bit unstable.

Especially around 2000, his condition and role in the team were not as stable as before. The team considered Inzaghi's injury factors and was afraid that he would not be able to contribute to the team in the future, so they decided to introduce the younger Trezeguet to replace Inzaghi.

In 2001, Inzaghi left Juventus and went to AC Milan.

Later, when he came to the Rossoneri, Inzaghi's body could no longer hold on. Just as Juventus was worried, his body suffered a major decline.

First, he suffered a strain on the medial ligament of his left knee. Later, he suffered multiple injuries to his cervical vertebrae, muscles, and calf strains, as well as a fracture of his left ankle. He was also frequently injured.

Around the age of 30, Inzaghi basically lost the explosive power of his youth and could no longer take as many dribbling and passing shots as before..

In order to extend his career, Inzaghi transformed his skills for the second time. This is a scene that fans are familiar with, the birth of the point-grabbing Inzaghi.

Wandered on the edge of the penalty area, resisted offside, and used his dexterous skills to grab points and score goals, becoming the team's "opportunistic forward".

I think this transformation is successful for Inzaghi. Since he no longer takes on a large number of tasks, he only concentrates on grabbing points and scoring goals, reducing consumption, allowing him to get many scoring opportunities.

His characteristic is also that he can be a substitute. Once he does not start as a substitute, he can often use his experience to help the team and score many key goals.

When he was young, he was diligent when running without the ball, and he was also a diligent forward. As he got older, he became more proficient. Even though he did not play many games, his scoring rate was still there, and he was still excellent.

In the 2007 Champions League final, Inzaghi scored twice, which was also his best gift to the fans. It showed how the veteran's afterglow helped the team win the championship.

From then on, he played happy football, stayed away from the spotlight, and stayed at Milan to play for Milan. After becoming famous, he no longer has to play for statistics. If he has the opportunity to play in the game, he will score a few more goals; if not, he can stay on the bench and wait for the coach's instructions.

In general, Inzaghi's club career is very successful. From his early debut to his subsequent technical transformation, he did a good job and made the right choices at the right time.

In the national team, Inzaghi's performance is not bad. In fact, his scoring rate has always been okay. Although there are not that many, and they are concentrated in a certain competition, his goals are also very average. He can score two or three goals for you in every competition, and you can feel the presence of Inzaghi in the team.

He scored a lot of goals in the World Cup qualifiers. He mainly came on as a substitute in the main game. The team's main player was Vieri, so he was on standby as a substitute. Occasionally he could score one or two goals.

He worked hard and had no complaints, which allowed him to finally realize his dream and win the championship in the 2006 World Cup.

Inzaghi was still very good as a player, not that bad. People don't always use jokes such as "he can't dribble, only grab points" to tease him.

That was all due to his old age and his playing style after the transformation. When he was young, Inzaghi was still very fierce and can be said to be a famous striker in Italian football.

After retiring, Inzaghi became a head coach, mainly staying in Italian football to coach, jumping back and forth in Serie B, Serie A and other teams. Like his brother, he is still active in the world of football.

In terms of performance, he is currently not as outstanding as his younger brother, but he has also achieved some small achievements. In Pisa last season, he led the team to be promoted from Serie B to Serie A, which also made history.

I wish him success in coaching and continue to fulfill his mission.
