WHEN THE CALCIPOLI SCANDAL PULLED THE CURTIANS DOWN ON ITALY'S GOLDEN AGE .

From the year 1990 to the year 2006, in football history it was Golden age for Italian football, and their many cubs as well. We saw record amounts spent on footballers,. 1) Inter Milan bullied Barcelona to sell their Brazilian striker Ronaldo. Ronaldo paid his entire buy out clause from his own pocket then. 2) In those years there were four clubs each year of the Champion League, clubs like Juventus, A.C.Milan, Inter Milan and Lazio. It is not so nowadays. 3) Paul Gascoigne played for Lazio , he joined from Tottenham Hotspurs. 4) A.C. Milan went a entire season undefeated they were the invincible. 5) George Weah , became the first and only black footballer to win the footballer of the year. 6) Juventus paid Parma 33.5 thirty three and a half million pounds to buy Gianluigi Buffon, for a record price. 7) Christen Vieiri was brought for 35, thirty five million pounds by Inter Milan, Hernan Crespo was brought by Lazio from Parma for 35,thirty five million pounds. 8) Italian clubs in Eleven years won eight cups either the Champion League or the U.E.F.A cup. But in 2006 came the Calcipoli scandal when Juventus were found guilty of match fixing with referees. Juventus were relegated and had their two titles won in two years taken away, and they had nine points deducted as well. So in Italy Inter Milan are the only club not to be demoted, either to such scandals or due to less points at the end of the season. 9) Firoteina were relegated and their Argentinean striker Gabriel Batistuta , stayed at the club, the club built a statue of Gabriel Batistuta , but whenhe joined up with A.S.Roma,, the statue was destroyed.

HE WAS THE MOST PERFECT FOOTBALLER ACCORDING TO ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC.

According to the big Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimović ,the best player he ever played with or against was the Brazilian striker Adriano. And he should know as he played for famous clubs like Ajax, Barcelona, A.C.Milan, Inter Milan , P.S.G and Manchester United. This is what he has to say of Adriano. He made the president of Inter Milan promise him that when he joined up with Inter Milan , that Adriano would never be sold. Adriano was short , heavily built, some what in the figure and skill of Diego Maradona , Ronaldo ,the Brazilian.But had the pace, skill, sacks of trickery ,dribbling had the fire in the belly to score goals from any sharp angle as well. With him on the pitch not a single minute was boring.He made the entire team click. But oh sadly it all changed for him his father was shot in Brazil and he never ever recovered from this tragedy , as he was very, very close to his father. He then went into a very deep depression , and his football suffered and he went completely downwards. It was a tragedy for football lovers that such great and wonderful talent was stolen by a sad incident miles away in Brazil.

A GREAT DEAL IS SAID ABOUT THE FRENCH STRIKER KYLAIN MBAPPE OF MONACO..

Really a great deal is being said of the young nineteen year old French striker Kaylin Mbappe, who is playing his club football with Monaco, the club were asking a sum of over 110, a hundred a ten million pounds. And for me it is to much of money for a nineteen year old boy. So let us look at some other youngsters and see what they have done. 1) Cristiano Ronaldo joined Manchester United as a eighteen year old boy , for total fee of 12, twelve million pounds, he joined from Sporting Lisbon in Portugal. Also played for Real Madrid. He has won four Ballon d ' OR awards, and has scored six hundred goals for all clubs, he has scored a hundred goals n the champion league as well.. 2)Francesco Totti, joined A.S.Roma as a sixteen year old boy, he played twenty five years for A.S.Roma only, scoring many goals. 3) Ronaldinho at nineteen years of age and playing for Crueizero he scored 23 , twenty three goals in single match. He played for P.S.G, Barcelona and A.C.Milan.. Also won Ballon d Or thrice. 4) Ronaldo Lima the other famous Brazilian at nineteen years was a star , he played for P.S.V. Eindhoven, Barcelona and Real Madrid. Was the footballer of the year three times. He scored fifteen goals for Brazil in the world cup, and this record was broken by Miroslav Klose in the 2014 world cup in Brazil with 16 goals. 5)John Terry played eighteen years for Chelsea after joining the club from the youth Academy, and is also a Champion League winner. And please note will you that Ronaldo Lima, Ronaldinho and Francesco Totti are world cup winners. 5) Lionel Messi joined Barcelona at thirteen years , he has scored over 500,, five hundred goals for Barcelona, and has won the Ballon d Or five times . So let me ask will Kylan Mbappe ever be in the same class as these footballers. Mind you these footballers come once in a blue moon to entertain us , and can not be copied. By the way Cristiano Ronaldo is a European cup winner.
