My Take
Roberto Pruzzo is the kind of striker I deeply respect: not the tallest man on the pitch at 175 cm, but blessed with the predatory instinct that no coach can teach. Born in a tiny town in the Province of Genoa, he became a beloved goalscorer and represented Italy at Euro 1980. What interests me most is his move into coaching afterward, an attempt to pass along the elusive art of finding the back of the net. Pure poachers like Pruzzo are a vanishing breed, and his career reminds me how much instinct still matters in football.
