The Streets Actually Forgot Alvaro Recoba

  • Alvaro Recoba is in no way a forgotten man of Italian football history, and he left his mark on Calcio and Football Italia viewers all over the world, with his endless flair and hammer of a left peg. But his story is one of 'what might have been'. when we reflect on his frustrating, stop-start Inter career.
    In his first game in the league, Recoba scored both goals in a 2:1 win over Brescia. The first a bonafide ‘thunderbastard’ from nearly 40 yards out, the second a free-kick that defied the laws of physics. A stunning debut from the mop-topped starlet at the imposing San Siro, even managing to overshadow Ronaldo.
    Although Álvaro Recoba’s story is not a tragic one, it is a disheartening one. A footballer of such sublime talent faded into obscurity so dramatically. He almost transformed his natural genius into footballing gold.

    Could've easily been the best player of his generation if he had actually tried and was consistent. He had really terrible games and then he had amazing games that would make you think he was a football God. His talent was out of this world, when he actually used it.

    Genuinely my favourite player of all time. First time I saw him play after using him on pes I was obsessed. If he had suarezs drive and hunger(not literally) he'd have won a ballon d'or. Shame about the bans as well. I'll always bring him up in drunk football debates and nobody seems to know him and I find it outrageous

      People who saw him play know he had the talent to be the level of Messi or Maradona, but lacked the drive to be even an Sunday league player, when he was in Danubio his teammates had to wake him up to go training.

    He could win the Ballon d'Or if he wanted to, he had football for that. If he had consistency, he could have won a season, just like Shevchenko, Nedved or Kaká...
    If he had consistency, he could remain as Inter's starter for many years and have won the 2010 Champions League, and led that Uruguay campaign in the 2010 Cup, which had Suarez, Cavani and Forlan, assuming he still played well at that time ( despite his advanced age), would pass from the Netherlands and play the final against Spain. Honestly, he had football to do far beyond these hypotheses.
