50 years of Vieri, the comparison with Haaland

Powerful, technical, complete centre-forward, with a sense of the game. In many ways superior to the Norwegian who today is seen as a Martian

Today, when discussing center forwards, Erling Haaland’s name is always mentioned as if he were a Martian who came to earth to show a miracle. For heaven’s sake, the Norwegian is a great striker, placed in a first-level context like that of Manchester City led by Pep Guardiola, but memory, a precious companion who often stimulates nostalgia as well as memory, helps to draw from a not too distant past a player who, in terms of characteristics, was certainly not second to Haaland: Christian Vieri, Bobo for everyone, who is exactly fifty years old and, if he were half as old, would still be a protagonist on the pitch and of him they would say wonders.
