David Trezeguet made history by matching Omar Sivori's all-time record of 167 goals for Juventus, but does Susy Campanale rate him?
There can be no doubting that David Trezeguet is effective. In his career the Frenchman has scored 167 goals in a Juventus jersey, equalling legend Omar Sivori's record as top foreign marksman in the club's history. He scored the Golden Goal that gave France the Euro 2000 trophy and at the end of this season plans to leave after a decade in Turin. Nonetheless, Trez is rarely named among the best forwards in the world.
The reason is simple - if he isn't putting the ball in the back of the net, you could easily forget that Trezeguet was even on the pitch. If you thought Pippo Inzaghi was a pure poacher, then you clearly haven't seen Trez in action. Or maybe you did see him and didn't actually notice.
At least Inzaghi harries the defenders and gets plenty of airtime by pulling faces at the linesman following an inevitable offside flag. Trezeguet tends to just hover in the background like a ghost, popping up when you least expect it, the defender's worst nightmare. Perhaps that is the key to his success, his ability to disappear from the match entirely. Just when his markers think he's having an off day and won't make a dent, the lanky David materialises out of nowhere to tap in from six yards.
It was calculated that over 90 per cent of Trezeguet's 167 goals were scored from inside the penalty area. Style and spectacle really aren't his 'thing,' so he can irritate opposition supporters who consider him to be nothing but a tap-in merchant. But look at those figures. Can you deny the effectiveness of this man at what he does?
He annoyed even Juventus fans at times, most notably when he went on an occasional strop about contracts and threatened to leave the club. By his own admission he remained in Serie B only because the Bianconeri refused to release him, a decision he will now appreciate even more. Without that spell in the second division, Trezeguet would not have the place he does now, as an eternal part of the Juve history books.
Yet another pointless blog from Susy Campanale. I'm sorry but it has to be asked: was there any actual point to this article? Much like your criticism of Francesco Totti in the past it seems you're simply attempting to be controversial. Anyone who has watched Italian football over the years knows that Trezeguet is a poacher, however, they also recognise that he is a master of his trade. Is Campanale trying to teach us something here?
David Trezeguet is a fantastic striker and any club would be lucky to have him. In fact, I'd predict he has achieved more than a goal every other game ratio - which is more than can be said for your beloved Pippo Inzaghi! As for Inzaghi doing more work than Trezeguet - don't make me laugh. Now that you mention it though, how many goals has Inzaghi scored outside the box? I'm willing to bet it's less than Trez.
To end, my question is this: are you capable of writing an article discussing something more interesting, say, tactics? I expect better!
