Alvaro Recoba: 100-word hero #28
He was one of Massimo Moratti’s favourites and also won the heart of Twitter’s most prominent Venezia fan, and my cousin, Marco Rinaldi (@marcoarrinaldi). Little wonder with the skills he possessed…
El Chino Recoba was a player who seemed to have the world at his feet (his left foot, at least) but who never quite made the breakthrough his talent deserved.
His greatest moments came for Venezia on a half-season loan from Inter when he saved them from relegation with 11 goals and nine assists in 19 matches.
Sadly no other team was willing to build the team around him as Venezia had, and so his mercurial talents were never given the stage they deserved.
He now plays in Uruguay - but will always be held in high regard by the Arancioneroverdi.
