David Trezeguet

David Trezeguet is one of the greatest forwards in the history of French football, celebrated for his technical ability, power and precision in finishing. Born in Rouen, France, but raised in Argentina — where his father played professional football — Trezeguet carried in his football the influence of South American football combined with the European school. Revealed by Platense in Argentina, he soon attracted the attention of European scouts and was signed by Monaco in 1995. At Monaco, alongside names like Thierry Henry, he formed a feared attack and aroused the interest of the continent's biggest clubs. His efficiency and ability to score important goals put him in the sights of Juventus. At Juventus, where he played from 2000 to 2010, he wrote his most glorious history. Leading scorer in Italian competitions for multiple seasons, he became Juventus' greatest foreign goalscorer and one of the greatest in the history of Italian Serie A. Even after Juventus' relegation in 2006, due to the Calciopoli scandal, he stayed with the club and helped in the reconstruction. For the French national team, Trezeguet was a key piece in the golden generation that won the 1998 World Cup and the 2000 European Championship. The golden goal he scored in the Euro 2000 final against Italy is one of the most celebrated moments in European football. Ironically, he missed the decisive penalty in the 2006 World Cup final against Italy.
