Profile
David Trezeguet is one of the best forwards and goal scorers in the world. He is one of the many French players whose origins lay outside France. He was born in France, the son of an Argentine footballer (Jorge Trezeguet), grew up in Argentina and played his first professional games there for CA Platense before joining AS Monaco in 1995. He has been pretty much a first choice ever since the 1998 World Cup win where he played a part in every game except the final. One of his greatest moments so far has been scoring the winning extra-time golden goal against Italy in the final of Euro2000, a great striker’s finish, swivelling and firing a rocket up into the net. He’s much more of a goal poacher than a creator in the Henry mould and his goal scoring record throughout his career has always been excellent, his ratio of goals to games must be around two in every three. He’s the type of player who can win a game when the team is not playing well by having the knack of getting on the end of a half chance. Besides winning the World Cup and European Championship you can add two French and two Italian titles won with AS Monaco and with Juventus FC. Since 2006, Trezeguet is the foreign top scorer ever of Juventus FC.
