A basilisk stare

By: Penny | November 16th, 2008

I’ve been a bit down this week. Another of the great footballing loves of my life, Ruud van Nistelrooy, is out for nine months after an operation on his perenially difficult right knee. As always, however, Inzaghi was good for a certain amusement value.

I don’t know who does the interviews on goal.com but I hope they get danger money, as they took their life in their hands and asked Inzaghi who he thought his heirs would be. You could almost imagine his affronted look, you know, that one he gives linesmen who have the temerity to suggest that the offside rule exists, let alone that he might have infringed it.

Inzaghi thinks that Paloschi, his footballing godchild as the gazetta calls him, is the only person who could possibly equal him. That may be true, but in my opinion Paloschi or anyone else would have to go some to get anywhere near Inzaghi.

Simone got a namecheck in the interview and seven minutes worth of the Rome derby, not really long enough to make much of an impression, but let’s be positive about this, at least he’s getting on.

    i really hates what is happening with Simone…7min ?? what can he do in 7 minutes…?? any way…the time will come for him to shine when he actually plays..and hopefully soon..

    pippo has a greater chance to play that birrelo is injured…

    goodluck to both…

    There’s not a lot anyone can do with seven minutes playing time, let’s just hope that his perseverance gets him a bit more of an opportunity
