My Take
The nickname Big Mac tells you everything I like about Massimo Maccarone. Born in Galliate near Novara in 1979, he was a striker built to bully defenders and finish, a player judged by the only currency that matters up front: goals. I'm drawn to forwards who let their output do the talking rather than their profile, and his move into coaching suggests he wants to pass on that penalty-box cunning. There's an honesty to a center forward who battles for everything, and Maccarone reads to me as that sort of grafter. I'll always root for the workmanlike No. 9.
