My Take
Giancarlo Marocchi is exactly the kind of player I love to champion, the unglamorous engine of a great team. A central midfielder from Imola, he won a Scudetto, two Coppe Italia, a Champions League and two UEFA Cups with Juventus, yet he did it by winning the ball and distributing it rather than chasing headlines. His two stints with hometown Bologna suggest a man rooted in his place, and his later turn as a TV pundit fits a thoughtful reader of the game. The Knight of the Order of Merit honour seals it. Football needs craftsmen like him, and they rarely get their due.
