Journalist Luigi Garlando quoted Cagliari legend Gigi Riva when talking about Italy striker Gianluca Scamacca
Today the journalist Luigi Garlando cited the legend of the Cagliari Gigi Riva for today’s edition of the newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport. Talking about the Italy striker Gianluca Scamacca he cited the best score ever of the Italian national team. His words:
«When Gianluca Scamacca kicks on goal, you can hear the sound of thunder, perhaps in the distance. Gigi Riva would have liked the dry and powerful shot of the new blue center forward, in this era of too many trick shots. Riva, at the top of the national team’s strikers (35 goals), precedes Peppino Meazza (33), hero of two world titles, who had the overwhelming strength of a centre-forward and the feet of an attacking midfielder to make his way with technique. Having made due proportions, Scamacca also does the same, thunders and embroiders. Extends the tradition of vitamin center forwards […] Scamacca filled the void, even if to reach Giggiriva’s 35 goals, he must score 34… The hope is that the comeback will begin in Germany, perhaps with a decisive goal in the final in Berlin, as Pietruzzo Anastasi did in the one in Rome in ’68.”.
