If the opponent uses a high defensive line, and leaves a bit of space between the defence and midfield, like they usually do in england, yeah then he is pretty good.
However, italian teams will put a deep defensive line, double mark, close the space, anticipate incomming passes.
trez and crespo, had some physical qualities. excellent in the air.
Inzaghi, is in my eyes the best poacher i ever saw play. seriously, he couldnt pass a ball but the instinct to score goals, and be on the correct place everywere, beeing impossible to mark, that was just legendary.
