At this point, im pretty sure he cuold score more goals than Llorente if both are given the same minutes. Even at 37

Trezegod even scores when he is sitting on a plane flying above a stadium.

David Trezeguet's ruthless finishing made him a memorable striker

http://www.espnfc.com/blog/tactics-...inical-finishing-made-him-a-memorable-striker

He was a rare sight indeed. IMO he had like zero skill with the ball at his feet...less than Llorente on his worst day....but he had the most awkward and masterful way of finishing strikes.

Like the article said... most of his strikes looked like a kick from someone who has never played football..but oddily were very accurate and he was a master at getting goals out of nowhere...even some of those goals looked amateurish.... but no...he knew what he was doing...without a doubt.

Trez looked like someone who has never played football? Now I've heard it all.

I suppose Henry looked like someone who was unable to run and Lippi looked like someone who didn't even know how football works, just curling.

The way he moved, his body language, the way he tried to do just one twos with the ball. Alll of it looked like crap . He was like the Bonucci of the strikers, but the difference is that he had one major skill..

His finishing


Thierry was a skilled player in other areas. Dont get ur comparison-

I don't understand this compunction to criticize in order to praise.

"Hydde looked like he didn't even know what a keyboard was. But sometimes he would post pearls."

Im not doing it to say he was shid. On the contrary... im dign it to demonstrate he was a truly special striker, no less. he was very limited as a footballer... but he knew how to do ONE thing...which luckily for him...that thing is the mark of a striker..which is, to score goals.

Is no surprise that in most games it was like if we were playing with 10 dudes the whole game...then BAM... Trez scores the winner with an awkward unstoppable volley out of nowhere...or a weird header with the back of his head which went into an unstoppable angle.

It was no coincidence. He was a master finisher. But obvs..some of his goals were simply sublime.... lots of volleys LOTS of them...headers. He and del piero did a lot of crazy things.... and he scored some superb goals in monaco and the one in the euro was a blast too.

He was a rare kind.

Trez's link-up play is massively underrated, had improved on that tremendously in the 2nd half of his Juve career.

For me it was like a copy paste with del piero time after time , but it worked and that is all that matters.

So basically you're saying that some of the best players are the most limited players?

Trez was limited because he could only score endless goals. Zidane was limited because he could only lead teams to victory (he was useless in defense). Del Piero was limited because he could only win 8 scudetti with one of the best teams, not with Pescara.

If the best are so limited, how limited must the worst be?

Im just talking about Trez. Theres nothing wrong in not being technical with the ball at your feet...if being technical as hell in finishing. As long as you succeed in your role the way Trez did, being limited doesnt matter in other areas

Your Zidane/DP comparison is off since it is obvious they knew how to do it all. Del Piero was just a level below Zidane IMo and also was a master of the arts. Both were very multidimensional in their techniques and in their respective position. Both were extremely good not only at scoring but at assisting and taking freekicks and dribling. They were for sure not limited.

Bon voyage, David Trezeguet

Arguably the most hated man in Italy in 2000, David Trezeguet went on to become a Bianconeri legend. Mark Siglioccolo charts the Frenchman's storied career.

It was July 2, when World Champions France met Italy in the final of Euro 2000. The Azzurri had dominated the game and a second half goal from Marco Delvecchio looked to have sealed an historic victory and ended 38 barren years without a trophy.

All eyes were on Juventus maestro Zinedine Zidane, who had been the hero in a home World Cup two years prior. Yet it was not he who delivered the deadly blow to seal Italy's fate following a stoppage time equaliser from Sylvain Wiltord. Up stepped the unlikely villain of the piece, with a golden goal to break a nation's heart in the 103rd minute, David Trezeguet.

The fresh faced 21-year-old rifled Robert Pires' cutback at an explosive 81kmph past a helpless Francesco Toldo, with his supposedly unfavoured left foot. For a naturally right-footed player, Trezegol was lethal with both lower limbs.

His 'crime’ against the Azzurri was rewarded with a £20m move to Serie A giants Juventus. A decade of service yielded 171 goals for the Bianconeri, placing him fourth in the list of the club's all-time top scorers, and top of the class in the foreign scoring chart.

Trezeguet's love affair with La Vecchia Signora even stood firm in the face of the Calciopoli scandal of 2006 as he, along with fellow superstars Gianluigi Buffon, Alessandro Del Piero and Pavel Nedved, decided to stay. The title that was eventually revoked was perhaps celebrated a little too vigorously according to Zlatan Ibrahimovic. “It was the fault of David Trezeguet, who made me do one drink of vodka after another. I slept in the bathtub. Now I hold my vodka much better.”

Despite his loyalty to the club, Trezegol's most successful season with Juve was his second, in which he and the club won the League in no small part thanks to his Capocannoniere-crown-clinching 24 strikes. Sharing the top goalscorer crown with Dario Hubner helped to earn Trezeguet a brace of individual accolades as he was named Serie A Footballer of the Year and Serie A Foreign Footballer of the Year in 2001-02. A successfully defended Serie A title and back to back Super Cup trophies in 2002-03 were all she wrote in a barren spell that was only halted by the Serie B crown.

That turbulent moment in Juventus' history did appear to trouble the Frenchman and gestures to President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli prior to their imminent promotion back to the top flight only fuelled the fires of his discontent. He did however give two more years of service before injuries and the ushering in of a fresh era meant that his contract was prematurely terminated in 2010.

Far from fading away into obscurity though, the forward once again made a typical Trezeguet impact upon a surprise move to La Liga minnows Hercules. His 12 goals in 31 appearances were not enough to ensure the club's survival that season, but as their top scorer he made his presence felt nonetheless.

An ill-fated move to United Arab Emirates side Baniyas followed in August 2011, in which the Frenchman made less than a handful of appearances due to injury. His next career stop was Argentina, where Trezeguet grew up, to fulfil a bucket list wish of playing for River Plate. The Argentine giants had suffered a shock relegation, and the Cobra's 13 strikes in 18 fulfilled his dream and secured his legend at his boyhood club, as the side reclaimed their place in the Primera Division.

Then-River Plate Coach Ramon Diaz deemed Trezeguet to be surplus to requirements despite his heroics. He then moved to Newell's Old Boys in the same division before his final curtain call at Indian Super League side Pune City FC. Antonio Caliendo, the forward's former agent and current Modena President, extended an offer to Trezeguet to continue his career at the club, but at 37 years young, he called time upon a memorable career.

Lauded as a French hero at Euro 2000, and the unfortunate villain at the 2006 World Cup as his penalty crashed against the crossbar in the shootout, Trezeguet will forever be remembered for his lethal instinct in the box. The speed at which he could pull the trigger and the sheer power and velocity of his shots struck fear into his opponents, and his unpredictability made him a nightmare to mark.

A proposed role at Juventus could well be the next chapter in the Trezegol story, but his legacy as a player is already cemented into Bianconeri legend.

I don't see the point of these director roles btw. Nedved has worked at the club for a few years now, and all we get is a couple of interviews a year, it's nothing.

Once they stop playing it's over, fact. Unless they become coaches.

 

[Hust]

Are their rumors of him working at the club?

I think the same.

If it is done for the sake of NOstalgia of¡r what else... then it is better to keep things as they are. But i could be wrong.

Nedved is the best at verbally smacking Mr. Violinist and other scum. But I agree, if you ask med it makes more sense to use them as youth trainer /ambassador/scout in their country of origin. Plenty of talents to farm in France..
