Kyle. Tardelli's expression after scoring Italy's second goal in the 82 World Cup final is one of the most classic expressions in the history of the tournament, which explains the great excitement of scoring in the most important game. On that mild July night in Madrid, he was the best player in Italy.
1972 Tardelli started his career with the third-class pizza team, initially as a full-back. Two years later, he joined Como in the second division. Tardelli, who is under 20 years old, joined Juventus in 1975/76 season. In the Bianconeri's 10 season, he won all three European champions, five Serie A champions and two Italian cups for Juventus, plus a national team World Cup champion. In the first season, Tardelli became an Italian international, made 80 appearances for the national team in 10 (1 after moving to Inter Milan), and ranked fourth in Italian history with 8/kloc-0 appearances (tied with baresi and Bergomi). Bearzot, the head coach of the national team, called him Figli Prediletti, which means "favorite son".
During his stay at Juventus, trapattoni transformed him into a "terrible" all-around midfielder. In the club and national team, he played all positions in midfield and performed well.
At the peak of his career, Tardelli was a down-to-earth midfielder who was famous for his extremely fierce tackles. There is no doubt about his ability to complete his duties, and he also praised my aggressiveness as unparalleled. His self-confidence reached the point where his opponents were frightened, and his motto "I am me" became a famous saying popular in Apennine Peninsula at that time. As a defensive midfielder, he often participates in the attack and has an incredible ability to suddenly insert into the opponent's restricted area to score goals. In the 80 European Cup, England was inexplicably ended by his goal. His scoring style from midfield into the penalty area earned him the nickname "Schizo", which means "Jet Man".
His endurance and speed are amazing (in fact, he was one of the fastest runners that year). Tardelli used to train football and 800 meters at the same time when he was young. His idols include Menia and Carl? Lewis, but not a star. When he decided to take part in the 800-meter race instead of the football competition held that day, the leaders of Como Club angrily asked him to decide his future development direction immediately-of course, he chose football. But he just gave up becoming a professional track and field athlete. After the European Cup in 2000, he often participated in marathons at the age of 50.
On September 25th 1985, Italy lost to Norway at home 1-2. Tardelli made a final contribution to the national team in this game. Many people think that Italy has not found his successor so far, although there have been many players who call themselves "New Tardelli" in the past 20 years.
1985/86 season, Tardelli, who was no longer at his peak, moved to Inter Milan and failed to bring a trophy to Inter Milan for two years. 1987/88 ended his career in St. Gallen, Switzerland. Tardelli coached the Italian national team and Inter Milan after retiring. On April 5, 2004, Tardelli became the head coach of the Egyptian national team.
