Things look up for the Inzaghi boys

By: Penny | November 7th, 2008

Having run around a lot, providing assists, scoring a goal and generally making himself useful in the penalty area Simone Inzaghi looks set for his first start in a Serie A game in four years. He seems to be slowly making progress back into the team, not something that anyone would probably have foreseen in the summer when he was one of the Lazio Five, excluded from training with the first team. Let’s hope he does well this weekend.

Fortune has smiled on all of us, however, since Big Inzaghi has had his contract renewed for another year, taking it up to the summer of 2010, when he’ll be coming up on 37. Galliani has said that Inzaghi can choose his own time to retire, so if he’s still scoring in 2010, they’ll renew it again. “What joy!” said Inzaghi, unconsciously echoing Bertie Wooster, but sadly he failed to translate that joy into a goal last night, leaving it up to Ronaldhino to save Milan’s blushes against Braga.

One last mention for an honorary Inzaghi boy, Christian Vieri, who looks as if he’ll be available for selection for Atalanta this weekend. I don’t think he’s played since the UEFA Cup last season, and you really have to admire him. Anyone else would have given up and surrendered themselves to a hedonistic life style, but Bobo’s still out there, badmouthing the press and wishing he’d played cricket instead, may he never, ever, even think about retiring.
