The worst player in football
By: Penny | November 29th, 2008I suppose, in the end, it came down to experience, or rather the lack of that quality. Well, experience and a fabulous free kick from Ronaldinho who seems to have settled in at Milan as if he was born there.
English football is notably parochial, so it’s not really suprising that the Portsmouth fans thought that it was all over, with only six minutes to go. Tony Adams’ inexperience undoubtedly showed here. If he’d done his homework properly he would have realised what half of Europe already knows, that if you get to injury time with Milan losing and Inzaghi on the pitch you leave everything else and put one defender on each of the man’s limbs, because he is going to score, it’s what he does.
Inzaghi, in Europe, with the captain’s armband on ( and I haven’t seen that since he played for Parma in the 90s) and Raul equalling his goal scoring record, there was only going to be one outcome of that situation.
The coverage of the match in England included a special feature on Inzaghi’s movement off the ball. I remember Capello saying once that someone should film Inzaghi during a match, and show it to other forwards as a textbook example of how to be in the right place at the right time. As Pat Nevin, no mean player in his own day, puzzled, “He’s one of the worst players in football, but one of the best goal scorers, ever.”

My jaws dropped to the floor when I saw highlights of his goal. That was better than excellent. Until now, I haven’t seen a goal this season with more lethal finishing than that.
Awe-inspiring.

it’s pretty impressive, Kamran, I can’t imagine many players who would still be concentrating that hard at that stage in a game
