How good was Filippo Inzaghi - Player who defied logic, one frequently described as being the best terrible footballer of all time. Because objectively speaking, he wasn’t good at the things that most footballers were supposed to be good at.
He was football pared back to its most elemental and basic parts. No frills, nothing fancy, nothing extraneous.
The only thing Inzaghi could really do was score goals, and herein perhaps lies the central reason why he was so loved and admired. For all the noise around football, for all the discussion of tactics and systems and philosophies, ultimately the only things that really matter are the goals. Inzaghi was not only just good at the only thing that really matters, but the only thing that really mattered to him was the only thing that really matters.
