INFO
Giuseppe "Peppino" Meazza (23 August 1910 – 21 August 1979) also known as il "Balilla", Peppin in the Milanese dialect, and sometimes just Pepp, was an Italian footballer playing mainly for Inter in the 1930s, scoring 243 goals in 361 games for the club. He led Italy to win two World Cups: in 1934 and in 1938, winning the Golden Ball (an award given to the best player at each FIFA World Cup finals) in 1934. He is widely considered the best player of his generation, and one of the greatest of all time. He has been ranked fourth best player in the history of World Cup.
He began his career as all out striker, but showed his skill and ability by also becoming an accomplished midfielder, playing for more than half of his career as inside forward. He was a great leader with excellent shooting and intoxicating dribbling skill, an eye for the pass and, despite his middle height, an exceptional heading ability.
Meazza created many chances for his teammates and scored goals as well. His goals "a foglia morta", the "dead leaf technique", were also feared by goalkeepers. He was a brilliant passer, both-footed, had remarkable field vision and was noted for his turns and spins. Natural leader, confusing dribbler, specialist in volleys and blind passes, impressive heading game despite his size, Giuseppe Meazza appears to be the complete footballer par excellence.
