Happy Birthday, Alvaro Recoba!
Head high, eyes for goal, a belter of a left foot and a player who made the stadium go wild. If you say Alvaro Recoba, every Inter fan has a clear image in their head: a stroke of genius, an impossible strike, a flash of pure class. Today "Chino" turns 49. Having arrived at Inter in Summer 1997, Recoba lit up San Siro with outstanding, unforgettable moments. How can you forget his perfect debut against Brescia? The Nerazzurri were a goal behind, then he came on: first he announced himself with a rocket from distance before converting a perfect free kick. Two screamers in the space of a few minutes. But "Chino" didn't stop there. His amazing talent produced magic moments for ten years at Inter: the goal from midfield against Empoli in 1998, the left-footed strike that completed the comeback against Sampadoria in 2005, the impossible free kicks and the bewildering assists. At Inter, he won two Scudettos, two Coppa Italias, two Italian Supercups and a UEFA CUP, leaving an unforgettable mark on the history of the club and in the hearts of fans.
Happy Birthday Alvaro!
