Italy's Serie A is the third most popular football league in the world. It attracts the attention of tens of millions of fans around the world. It is quite difficult to be an offensive player in Italy due to the peculiarities of Serie A.
Catenaccio
A feature of Serie A is the team's special defense strategy: Catenaccio. In defense, four defenders play at once, while the game takes on a viscous, viscous character. At the 2006 World Cup, which was victorious for itself, the Italian national team conceded only two goals in seven matches. While goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon went on to do this, the importance of a defensive strategy inherent in all Italian football cannot be overlooked.
Past
Salvatore Schillaci was named the top scorer of the 1990 World Cup for the Italian national team. The Italians reached the then honorable third place, losing in the semifinals to the silver medalist of the Argentina national team on penalties.
The Italian national football team is called "Squadra Azzurra". She achieved victories at the world championships four times (only Brazil is more - 5).
Giovanni Rivera was the classic number seven in midfield. This is the first midfield player in Serie A history to become the top scorer of the season. It happened back in 1967. Giovanni Rivera has spent most of his career for Milan, having achieved all possible individual and club awards. For the irrepressibility and beauty of the feints, Giovanni received the nickname "Golden Boy".
The present
The top scorer of the current Italian national team is Luca Toni. High growth, excellent technique allowed the footballer to torment the strongest defenders of the world. The start of a career at Palermo surpassed all expectations. Luca Tony has scored goals from round to round. He became Italy's top scorer twice in a row with Palermo. He was invited to "Fiorentina", in the "Violet" (an alternative name of the club) Tony also became a key goal scorer. Then he was invited to play for Bayern Munich, one of the world's best clubs. Luca became the leader of the team, twice becoming the top scorer of the Bundesliga (German championship).
Future
The Italian "Serie A" was founded back in 1898. The greatest number of times "Scudetto" (prize to champions of "Serie") took Juventus from Turin.
At the moment, the Italians are pinning their hopes on the super-technical striker of Milan, Mario Balotelli (Supermario). This “burning” footballer, who is almost impossible to stop in the attack, is famous for his inexplicable antics. In England, when Mario played for Manchester City, he set fire to his house and put on “shows” in supermarkets. Mario has scored hat-tricks and doubles (26) many times (17 times in his career).
