My Take
Robert Acquafresca's name always makes me smile: literally 'fresh water,' an oddly cool label for a striker who lived on sweat. Born in Turin in 1987, the 185 cm center-forward carried the weight of expectation, earning caps for Italy's under-21 side and representing his country at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Cementing a place at the very top of Italian football is brutally hard, and many promising forwards fade. Still, wearing the national shirt at an Olympics is something no one can erase. I'd rather remember the genuine weight of that achievement than reduce him to a charming surname.
