Inzaghi's favourite year
Pippo Inzaghi looks back at the greatest 12 months of his career, but after the World Cup and Champions League he wants more with Milan.
“In the last year I have lived through something extraordinary,†said the striker. “To win the World Cup and Champions League is the dream of any player from when he first starts kicking a ball.â€
Although he only scored one goal in the Germany 2006 tournament – in the only game he played in – SuperPippo was the decider with a brace in the 2-1 Athens victory over Liverpool.
“I still can’t quite believe what happened. This is why I often rewatch the game with Liverpool so I can confirm to myself it was all real.â€
He’s not done yet, though, as the ambitious hitman who will turn 34 in August already has his sights set on more silverware.
“We have now created a magical atmosphere at Milan. It’s fairly unique and that is why it’s no coincidence we have played three Champions League Finals in five years.
“I am on holiday, but already thinking ahead to the first game at San Siro. It will be so wonderful. We have to focus on a good start in Serie A and winning the European Super Cup.â€
The Rossoneri will take on UEFA Cup winners Sevilla in Monaco on August 31.
That form earned him a recall to the Azzurri squad under Coach Roberto Donadoni and praise for his commitment to the international cause.
“I really care about wearing the Italy jersey and if I am fit then I am more than happy to attend. I have a clear and wonderful rapport with Donadoni, who had already told me of his respect before the Final in Athens.â€
He made an impressive comeback in the two Euro 2008 qualifiers against the Faroe Islands and Lithuania.
“I found a compact and united squad,†continued Inzaghi. “I think that the group, friendship, respect and the ability to accept very difficult decisions made by the Coach are the key to successes like the ones we had in Berlin and for Milan in Athens.â€

Italy relying on 'immortal' Inzaghi
/ Associated Press
Posted: 1 hour ago
AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti calls Filippo Inzaghi "immortal."
With Luca Toni injured and Francesco Totti retired from international play at the ripe old age of 30, Inzaghi is expected to lead Italy's attack against France on Saturday in European Championship qualifying.
At 34 - an age when other forwards can retire - Inzaghi is still beating the offside trap and darting past defenders 10 years his junior.
He scored both goals when Milan defeated Liverpool 2-1 in May to win the Champions League and got the equalizer last week as Milan went on to beat Sevilla 3-1 in the European Super Cup.
"It's true," Inzaghi said. "I'm 34 but it's actually now that I'm reaping in the biggest satisfactions and debunking the myth which says a forward at this age isn't productive anymore."
Inzaghi has no intention to stop.
"When I hear the national anthem it makes me shiver," Inzaghi said. "I would never know how to say no to the national team. I think it would be better if (the team or federation) stopped me."
The last time Inzaghi appeared for Italy at Milan's San Siro stadium - the site of Saturday's game and the same arena where he plays for his club - he scored a hat trick in a 4-0 win over Wales. That win came when Italy was struggling to qualify for the 2004 European Championship.
Italy is not struggling this time around - having won five straight qualifiers - but the Azzurri do need a win to avoid complications in its final four qualifiers for Euro 2008.
France leads Group B with 18 points. Italy is next with 16 points, followed by Scotland with 15 and Ukraine - Italy's opponent four days after the France match - with 12.
"You can be sure the impact of San Siro will be felt," Inzaghi said. "I know how much the fans can count for."
Inzaghi has scored 25 goals in 56 appearances for Italy and 59 in European club play with Milan, third all time behind Gerd Mueller (69) and Andriy Shevchenko (60).
Inzaghi thrives in big pressure situations, while his 25-year-old teammate at Milan, Alberto Gilardino, appears to struggle.
Gilardino, out of form, wasn't called up by Italy coach Roberto Donadoni.
"It's a psychological problem with Gilardino," Donadoni said.
Inzaghi was hesitant to speak about Gilardino.
"Leave him in peace," he said. "He's the future of Italian soccer, the next 10 years of Italian soccer. You'll see."

If Pippo has a quality that separates him from the rest, that's predictiveness/vision! Indeed, let's see...
To tell you the truth this is the main reason I don't want him to leave. I know if Gila leaves, he's gonna strike gold somewhere and we'd be left with sh!t in our face. Something about this guy, that just tells me to be patient, there's something there underneath the surface waiting to explode.
And before dst starts, it's not the rum, it's the instinct. The same one that said, we'd win the CL

Inzaghi: Don’t Retire Number Nine Shirt
Milan striker Filippo Inzaghi has insisted that his number nine shirt should not be retired when he finally decides to hang up his boots.
The ex-Juventus man is one of the most prolific goalscorers of all time and only German legend Gerd Muller has scored more goals in European competition than Inzaghi.
Superpippo was once again on target during Tuesday’s 2-1 Champions League victory over Benfica and his heroics since joining Milan in 2001 have led to many Rossoneri supporters calling for his number nine shirt to be retired once Inzaghi ends his career.
“The number nine shirt cannot be withdrawn once I finish,†Inzaghi said modestly. “This honour was not granted to the great Marco Van Basten who also wore the number nine shirt so it cannot be expected to be granted to me.â€
Current Dutch national Coach Van Basten played for Milan between 1987 and 1993 and scored a stunning 128 goals in 147 appearances for the Rossoneri.
Inzaghi is someway behind that total but his two match-winning goals in the Champions League final victory over Liverpool last May has sewn his status as a Milan legend. When the 34-year-old does finally retire, he will be remembered as one of the greatest goalscorers Italy has ever produced

They wasn't going to, but it's nice for him to say that.
Of course it shouldn't happen!
It's like the number 10, it allways passes on from generation to generation. But we do remember all the great names from past times. So Pippo won't be forgotten..

Never will he be forgotten ... He is the saviour of Athena
With all the amazing players we had over the years, to have your name retired you have to be truly unique. Franco and Paolo are of course fall into this category and set the bar very high.
A nice piece by Gabriele Marcotti in yesterday's Sunday Herald (link)
People's Poacher
FLASHBACK TO Athens and the Champions League final last May. AC Milan have just won their eighth European crown and Pippo Inzaghi is the man of the hour, having scored both goals in the final. Most of the players have retreated to the centre circle to celebrate.
Inzaghi lingers by himself in the penalty box. He spots Massimo Ambrosini jogging back up the pitch with the match ball and waves his arms frantically. Ambrosini hits a 30-yard pass in Inzaghi's direction. Super Pippo takes off, limbs pumping furiously. Nobody is near him, no opponents, no team-mates and, of course, no goalkeeper. He meets the ball just outside the six yard box and sidefoots it just past the far post. Ambrosini shakes his head.
After the game, the midfielder would say of Inzaghi's post-final whistle miss: "I don't know what's more unusual. The fact that he insisted on trying to shoot the ball into an empty goal from five metres out or the fact that he missed. But that's Pippo."
Indeed, the above anecdote sums up both sides of the Inzaghi coin. The visceral need to score, even at the most absurd times - like, say, minutes after winning the biggest prize in club football - and the capacity for spectacular misses.
Which, in some ways, is rather unfair. The Milan striker, who visits Celtic Park on Wednesday, is something of a contradiction. He's neither physically strong nor particularly technically gifted. His one physical gift - quickness - tends to stand out, but largely because the other facets of his athletic ability are so pedestrian.
Indeed, Inzaghi is not especially fast either. When the club did their pre-season fitness tests, he turned out to be slower over 40 metres than all but one other striker or defender, including 39-year-old Paolo Maldini, 36-year-old Serginho and 37-year-old Cafu.
And that may explain why some of the finest minds in the game have consistently rubbished his contributions. Sir Alex Ferguson famously said that "he was born offside". Johan Cruyff went even further: "Look, the thing about Inzaghi is that he can't actually play football at all. He is just always in the right position."
If that's the case, then perhaps no player in the history of the game has maximised his limited skills as well as Inzaghi. Just look at the numbers.
No current player has scored more goals in European club competition than Inzaghi. Indeed, he needs another nine to join Gerd Muller at the top of the all-time list. He has tallied more than 200 goals in Serie A, Coppa Italia and European competition and it's safe to say this total would be higher if he had not been slowed by injuries over the past four seasons - since 2003 he averaged a paltry 14 Serie A starts a year for Milan. He has 25 goals and 57 caps for Italy, despite being part of a golden generation of Italian strikers which includes the likes of Christian Vieri, Francesco Totti and Alessandro Del Piero.
And yet when you watch him play, especially in person, something doesn't look quite right. Part of it is his build. Thin and spindly, with limbs that seemingly move independently of the rest of his body, he just doesn't look like a modern professional footballer. He looks more like the runt of the litter.
His movements on the pitch reflect this. Where great players make difficult things look easy, he does the opposite. His actions are exaggerated and, often uncoordinated, as if he just barely manages to keep things together. Not coincidentally, the commentator for Milan Channel - the club's official TV station - who has a nickname for each player, calls him "High Anxiety", after the Mel Brooks film.
He looks like a hyperactive 12-year-old who hasn't taken his Ritalin. While he has mellowed compared to years past - thanks, in part, to yoga - he remains a bundle of nervous energy.
For a long-time, Inzaghi was under-appreciated in Italy and, in many ways, he still is. When he joined Juventus in 1997 to team up with Del Piero and Zinedine Zidane in a memorable front three, many saw it as heresy, like forcing Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton to perform with a pimply teenager who just got his guitar out of the box. Yet, 87 goals in all competitions in four years tell their own story.
Still, when Juventus signed David Trezeguet in 2000, it became clear that Inzaghi, for all his goals, was surplus to requirement. Thus came his move to Milan, a shift greeted with scepticism at first. Again, he did not seem to fit the Rossoneri brand and the fact he came from Juventus meant he had to win over the fans. He promptly did, especially in his second year, when he notched 30 goals in all competitions and was the Champions League top scorer.
He still doesn't really fit into Milan's ethos and their silky, short-passing game which demands technique, creativity and selflessness. Inzaghi's selflessness manifests itself in his continuous, and often thankless, runs into space - the problem, as one Serie A commentator put it, is that: "Inzaghi may work hard to get open, but, when he does, you know if you give him the ball, you won't get it back: he'll either score, blast it into the stands or lose it."
But then, you always return to the numbers. Not only does he score often, he scores in big matches. Perhaps the people we should be celebrating are guys like him, rather than the Kakas and Ronaldinhos of this world. As great as those guys are, they were born with tremendous athletic and technical gifts. Inzaghi wasn't. He is one of us, the masses who are neither fast, nor strong, nor skillful nor athletic. His success comes through hard work and the ability to learn where the ball is going to be and to make sure he's there to meet it.
The father of a young footballer most likely can't, in good conscience, tell him one day he'll grow up to be like Ronaldinho. But he can tell him that, with enough character, workrate and single-mindedness, one day he can be like Inzaghi. Which is no bad thing.

Inzaghi: I Want The Scudetto
Prolific Milan striker Pippo Inzaghi was delighted with his record-equalling two-goal salvo last night and has denied that him and his team-mates only care about the Champions League.
The veteran's brace against Shakhtar Donetsk made him the joint top-scorer in European club football history alongside German great Gerd Muller.
Inzaghi's form, much like the rest of the Milan team, has been far more impressive in Europe this season than it has been in Serie A.
SuperPippo is yet to score in the Italian championship this campaign, while Milan are 11 points behind leaders Inter and are sitting in a disappointing 9th place in the standings.
This has led many to accuse the Rossoneri of only being interested in doing well in the Champions League and of disregarding Serie A.
"I am really happy to have scored these two goals," said Inzaghi. "Now I hope to begin to start scoring in the championship as well.
"The Champions League has a special glamour about it, but it is wrong not to say that for this reason we underestimate the championship. I personally want to win the Scudetto."
Inzaghi will be hoping to notch up his first league goal since January on Sunday as Milan make the short trip to Bergamo to face Atalanta.

Contrattempo decisamente fastidioso per Filippo Inzaghi: l'attaccante del Milan, in ritiro a Dubai, è stato ricoverato in ospedale per dolori ai reni.
Gli esami effettuati all'American Hospital di Dubai hanno rivelato che Superppippo ha accusato problemi di litiasi renali.
Dopo una notte passata in di osservazione, Inzaghi è stato quindi dimesso, dopo che gli ultimi controlli hanno confermato che la calcolosi renale non creerà complicazioni e che il calcolo - circa 3 millimetri di diametro - verrà espulso naturalmente.
Inzaghi si è così riunito al gruppo e nei prossimi giorni tornerà ad allenarsi regolarmente.
Il 9 gennaio l'attaccante dovrebbe quindi rientrare a Milano: con i compagni ed essere a disposizione di Carlo Anclotti per il posticipo della penultima giornata del girone di andata di Serie A, che vedrà il Milan ospitare domenica 13 alle 20.30 il Napoli a San Siro.

At least there will also be Pato so if Pippo won't be ready by the next game we'll have more of a choice.

What's the odds of finally having all 4 fit strikers in the same squad?
You mean Ronaldo - Pippo - Gilardino - Pato?
Probably just like the odds that we'll buy more then 1 player in this t-period..

I think it was "only" 40 million.

In FM it says 52. They have everything else correct, so...
wow 52 million holy shite!!! he was worth every penny though.
I think next year should be his last year. I love Inzaghi, but it's pretty ridiculous to have a striker that can hardly play 15 full games a season.
He could retire at the end of this season. I would if I were him! he will be almost 36.. [I mean 35!] by that time for god's sake!! he should pave the way for youngsters! and I don't think there's anything left he'd want to win...
yep and besides the fact he needs about a dozen chances to score now.

He's 34, from what I've heard. So is Dida. Ronaldo, Sheva and Totti are 31. But yeah, it's about time I guess, for Inzaghi. He's won everything there is to win (World Cup, European Cup, Serie A, and countless other titles). Time to get married, have a settled life, and start working on a Pippo v2.

He will be 35 by August. and about the rest... couldn't agree with you more

Yeah, I used to get worried sometimes too.
But I'm sure he'll be alright, and settle down when the time comes.
Well first of all...
1.Pippo is a legend, and a good bloke. Not the kind to go around over estimating his abilities and throwing attitudes. Like Cafu, he can stay as long as he wants.
2. He's a playboy. He's had too many relationships...never really found the 'right' person I guess. Too much in love with banging in goals rather than uhm...just banging..

and at the expense of milan's success, that is if he doesnt mind the bench.
^^
I don't think he will...for one. Does Cafu..at one time, the best RB in the world make a fuss now.
Besides it's not like Pippo's gone lame. He can always contribute. It's just that he needs Seedorf.

But I can! a 30yo Pippo could score "at least" 10+ league goals in every season. but now he has scored just "2" goals in the past 12 months...
