Among the geniuses devastated by injuries, Giuseppe Rossi's name must be on the top of the list.
Right knee cruciate ligament, right knee joint internal ligament, left knee cruciate ligament are all riddled with holes, but born in 1987, he has been fighting against injuries, repeating the story of standing up and falling, persuaded He retired many people, but Rossi said: "I love to play too much. I can't leave him."
In the European Super Cup this season, Gerard Moreno surpassed Rossi in Villare When Er’s team history scored a record, people couldn’t help asking, where was the genius of the past? He scored a goal when he settled in a year ago. At that time, fans had calculated that his last goal was dated back to the 2017-18 season, 847 days ago.
01
Born in New Jersey, USA, Rossi was influenced by his father who was a football coach and loved football. Although he was not able to join his father's beloved Inter Milan at the age of 12, he did not feel disappointed at all when he started in Parma youth training. , Because Rossi, who scored 133 goals in 114 games, is considered to be the star of the Apennines.
But this is not superior to Rossi, because in the neighborhood of New Jersey , he is already the king of children of his age.
Manchester United used a sum of "academic training fees" to take away Rossi, when he was less than 17 years old. In the first season after joining the giants, Rossi only experienced the atmosphere of professional football in two League Cup. The rest of the time he used his abilities in the reserve team, with goals and championships, and won by the way. The number of the first team (No. 42), but wants to get a share of the striker group of Rooney, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Saha, and Solskjaer, and stay in Japan.
October 2005,In the match against Sunderland , Rossi scored a goal from the bench. He also became the first Manchester United player to break the monopoly of Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy in the 2005-06 season. He said: "This will be a day I will never forget." However, it is difficult for a fledgling young man to gain a foothold in a wealthy family simply by virtue of his talent. Loan is the best way to promote a win-win model.
In the context of the retirement of and Shearer and the serious injury of Owen, Newcastle was thirsty for talents, but Rooney called the "natural killer" Rossi did not soar. The efficiency of 1 goal in 13 games was terrible, and it was unexpected to be returned. Among the things, although Rossi claims that he is already adapting to the British style, Manchester United's evaluation of him still "needs a lot of game to accumulate experience."
Faced with the olive branch of the parent team Parma, Rossi felt that this might be a good opportunity for further studies.
02
Parma played 19 games in half a season, contributed 9 goals and 4 assists Rossi became the savior.
Parma scored 17 points in the last 10 league rounds, and finally ranked 12th, miraculously relegated. Parma, who tasted the sweetness, quickly offered 10 million euros to Manchester United, but Ferguson did not give up being praised as a young man who "plays like Zola". As a hero of Parma, Rossi believes that the Tardini Stadium It's just the place where his dream started, he is eager to prove himself in Manchester United as his wings grow stronger.
Just one week after returning to Manchester United, he was signed by Villarreal at the same price as Parma's original offer. It is understandable that Forlan, who was frustrated at Manchester United, has a new look at the love song stadium , And finally joined Atletico Madrid after three years of sharpening his sword. Rossi also wanted to copy the luck of Uruguay.
"Rossi has the potential to become a great star. I believe he will soon become a new idol in the Love Song Stadium." Chairman Villarreal's words are very predictable. I don't mind Rossi's 14 games in Manchester United. Gray memory of 4 balls.
In the days of replacing Fran, Rossi was reborn. The data is the most powerful explanation: 27 games in 2007-08, 12 goals in 30 games in 2008-09, 34 games in 2009-10 and 10 goals in 2010-11. 18 goals in 36 games in the season.
The golden boy was reborn. During this period, Ranieri, who had worked with him, wanted to take him to Juventus. After that, Conte also regarded Rossi as a supplement to the old woman’s striker, but the most It is a pity that Barcelona has missed: "The contract has been signed, but there are differences between the clubs on the payment issue. Villarreal hopes that the transfer fee will account for the bulk, while Barcelona hopes that the bonus can be more."
The submarine with Rossi has fought a beautiful turnaround-La Liga won the runner-up and the Champions League reached the semi-finals. But Rossi who stayed was also stared at by injuries: on October 26, 2011, in the La Liga game between Villarreal and Real Madrid, Rossi suffered a torn and a torn cruciate ligament , when Only played 9 games in La Liga this season.
"I won't be irritated because 6 of them can't play, I can at least improve my PS technique in the hospital bed." At this time, Rossi did not realize that his optimism could not stand up. The test of injury.
03
When there is no injury, Rossi is exactly what a golden boy should be.
2008 Beijing Olympics , the 21-year-old Rossi scored 4 goals on behalf of Italy and won the top scorer of the game. In the 2009 Confederations Cup , when he was recruited against the US team, he took a long shot from the bench for 2 minutes and contributed another wonderful left-footed ejection before the end of the game; 6 in the battle for the yellow submarine. During the season, 191 official games, scoring 82 goals, was the best scorer in team history at that time.
Rossi was injured and wanted to domino effect linkage, Villarre fell into a slump,Until the relegation, the chairman called "the darkest day in the club's history."
missed the 2010 World Cup because he was too young, but Lippi was on the list when selecting the initial 30-man squad. The 2012 European Cup was due to a recurrence of his knee injury. Prandelli would not waste precious places, but Rossi did not realize that he was losing all the time. His optimism and talent were not fed back by fate. At the age of 25, his career showed signs of reversing mode.
In the United States for half a year to recuperate, Rossi felt the warmth of the family, but was also surprised that no one cared about it. After all, no club was willing to use real money to bet on a glass man’s tomorrow, so when Florence signed him, Rossi In addition to repeated thanks at the press conference, I just hoped to use the Champions League qualification to give back to the new club.
However, in the 2012-13 season, he played only 1 game when he was unwell, and was directly reimbursed in the 2014-15 season. In the 2015-16 season, he only played 11 times without scoring a goal. More and more voices believe that injury is his natural enemy. Because of the healthy 2013-14 season, Rossi scored 16 goals in 23 games and staged a hat-trick against Juventus, so much so that Pulan Deli admitted after the World Cup that he should have given Rossi a chance to be selected.
In Viola's career, Rossi, who withered without blooming, can hardly respond to mixed emotions. He became taciturn, not because his salary was drastically reduced, but because he did not know that his fragile himself would be injured. Fetters several times.
Fiorentina respected the choice of being demoted to substitute Rossi. After going through the vicissitudes of life, he believes that this is his second hometown, but he needs to build confidence in the game, so he loaned to Levante is a mutually satisfying choice.
As he said: "I hope the Fiorentina fans understand my choice, because I want to play again and find a smile again."
04
Both Sevilla and Atletico have scored goals by Rossi.But the most moving picture was at the meeting, being held in his arms by a white-haired old Levante fan, just like to his grandson.
Levante did not copy the story of Parma's magical relegation, Rossi's star effect was also downplayed, returning to Florence, he is not in the coach Sosa plan.
At the age of thirty, Rossi's ordinary road is extremely difficult. Celta's 1+1 contract minimizes the risk factor, but it seems to be of no avail.
In the 2017 loss to Ebar, Rossi, who started the game, returned to the bench after only half an hour on the field. It was the damn cruciate ligament. The scene of his crying and hiding his face is still fresh in memory. In fact, he played against a week ago. When Spalmas , he just staged his second hat-trick in his career.
From heaven to hell, this is not Rossi’s “first time”. He has undergone 5 knee surgery every time he walks down with a smile after each surgery, but injuries always make him difficult, even Unexpected incidents are "find". On September 26, 2018, Rossi, who played for Genoa, was banned for one year for doping.
Although the final appeal was successful and was exempt from punishment, the negativity + injury history added to the flames, making him stay in business for two years. At one point, Rossi could only train with his old club and Manchester United and Villarreal.
all say that it is impossible to step into the same river, but the ill-fated Rossi seems to have been targeted by injuries. Since the age of 25, he doesn’t care where he plays football, just like last year. When he joined the American League of Legends, he said that he cherishes the time he can still play football the most, and maybe one day it will come to an abrupt end.
A dream is like this, and people discovered that the high-spirited golden boy was 34 years old,
.
