Forever Super Pippo

   On the football field, who is the largest opponent to every striker? The super goalkeeper like Buffon, or the super defender like Thiago Silva? Neither of them. Of course, they are time and injury. However, there are still many stars who are never afraid of them, and Filippo Inzaghi is one of the stars.
   Now, though Inzaghi is already 39 years old, he is still fighting on the football field and trying to break more heroic records. His nickname, Super Pippo, used by his fans depicted him very well. He is regarded as the ghost wandering on the offside lines because of his excellent sense of judging the destination of the moving ball, extremely rapid response to the ball and unique ability of grasping the chances. It is nearly impossible for the defenders to be able to follow his really mysterious steps. He has become every defender 's nightmare.
   Some people who have not watched his wonderful performance before may consider Inzaghi as a talented football player both in intelligence and physical conditions if they only have heard about his fame and stories. In fact, they will be totally wrong. On the contrast, Inzaghi possesses neither high speed or strong body nor excellent techniques. Due to his great effort and endless passion toward football, he becomes world-famous as the most efficient striker in Italy within the last twenty years.
   There are also some funny stories about Inzaghi. He finished his college in only two years and successfully got the accountant certification. What is more, he is still a single now!
   In conclusion, he succeeded in using his endless huge effort and passion to make up for his disadvantages in physical aspects, and that is the reason why I love him very much. May he can have a good ending in A.C. Milan.
