A profile
Giacinto
Facchetti was really a milestone in the Italian football.
He was the first defender who scored many goals without
penalties.
His fair play was legendary and he was one of most
popular players of 60's and 70's years in Italy also for
this reason.
Helenio Herrera, trainer of F.C. Inter Milan in the early
60's, gave a chance to young left full back at the end of
1960-'61 season but Facchetti did'nt leave a good
impression.
His long legs and his tall (1,89 m) was unusual for a
full back, but Herrera had a good idea : Facchetti must
attack his opponent.
Facchetti invented a skill, totally new for italian
football: a defender who play to score some goals, many
years before Cabrini and Maldini.
Facchetti scored the most famous of his goals in 1965
against Liverpool in the Champions Cup Semi Final.
Liverpool won the first match at Anfield 3-1, and Inter
to reach the Final must win 3-0 : Facchetti scored the
third and decisive goal of Inter with an incredible right
shoot beating Liverpool's goalkeeper Lawrence.
His Career
Facchetti spent his
entire career in the F.C. Internazionale of Milan and in
seventeen years he won two Champions Cup and two
Intercontinental Cup ('64, '65) and plaied two times more
the Champions Cup Final ('67 against Celtic and '72
against Ajax), he won four times the "scudetto"
('62-'63, '64-'65, '65-'66 and '70-71).
The 7th of may 1978 he played his last
official match with F.C. Inter in San Siro (now Meazza
Stadium) against Foggia.
