Vieri has pulled A LOT of shit while at Inter.
Of course he has and so have so many other players too (incl. your favorites Adriano and Ronaldo). I've said it earlier that you can take a shitload from Ronaldo or Adriano, but they still remain to be your favorite. Well it's the same thing for me when it comes to Vieri.
- After Crespo was sold, he openly attacked the club for that choice (unprofessional, he had all the rights to do it but not through the media, that should have been done behind closed doors).
Well first of all, he was right. He did the same when we sold Ronaldo. Of course he was worried for our club's sake, but true, he should've said it in private. On the other hand there are several other players who should've kept their mouths shut and not attack the club in public. This is part of football and I can accept this. But in the end he was RIGHT in his declarations, unlike a dimwit like Veron, who made a totally useless attack on Adriano. Still you remain to be a Veron-fan, right?
- Following Crespo and Ronaldo's departure, he asked to be sold to Juventus (well known fact, Moratti talked about it himself). Moratti said no. So how come that when Materazzi asked to be LOANED to Bologna to play and prove his worth, he was treated like garbage by many of you here, and Vieri gets a totally different treatment?
He was angry and wanted the club to make reinforcements or he might leave. That's not so rare either. This "well known fact" is something what amuses me, but I'll continue on that later.
- Vieri wasn't the same player after Korea 2002. He just stopped being a poacher, he would miss easy goals when one of his strongest point had always been his natural instinct for goal.
It's true, he never came back to same form, but is it a reason to hate him?? Still he was a good goalscorer after the WC2002, but not a great one as he used to be. I still didn't see no reason to stop supporting him, hell in those circumstances he needs more support. It's just that our fans are so plain stupid and start booing when actually the player needs support. Vieri's not the first one to get the treatment. Dalmat, Wome, Morfeo etc. Booing your own players is probably the stupidest thing you can do, it's simply a favor for the opponent who are supposed to boo our players. Do those morons actually think that for example Morfeo felt more confident when he gets the boos?? Look at him now. He was more than ok last season.
But he did, and stopped celebrating his goals and instead simply wiped his face and spat while walking back in his own half.
He wanted to show, that those morons in curva should learn to behave. If your fans supported our team and players no matter what, maybe we would've won something since 1989. If you're not gonna support your team, then just shut the fuck up and stay home.
- Vieri refused to come on as a sub when Zaccheroni was the coach during an Inter v Bologna game, using some pathetic excuse like 'Due to my body shape I can't just play 10 minutes'. That was another big sign of desrespect.
That happened once and who the hell is this clown-Zaccheroni anyway? Calls himself an interista and is the first one to offer his services for Giuve. I had no respect for Zaccheroni and I'm only glad that neither did Vieri.
- At the end of the 2004-05 season he came out saying that he had to be a starter next season. Then he was nowhere to be seen during the Coppa Italia final. Then he agreed to cancel his contract with Inter and went straight across the street to AC Milan.
What he was supposed to do? Beg for mercy and ask Moratti that he can pay for Inter just to let him stay, because he loves the team so much? Grow up. If the club wanted him out, then I see nothing wrong him wanting to leave.
Where did he say exactly that he wants a guaranteed starter position? What's your source on that? How come you have lots of these
facts on what Vieri said and they are all from reliable sources, when in the other hand everything what Adriano or Ronaldo has said are from unreliable sources?
I'm fine with keep loving a player even when he leaves, it's natural that for some people the positive memories just outweigh the negative ones. But pleaseee stop describing Vieri like a saint who did everything right and was just treated wrong by everyone, fans, club and everybody else.
He sure as hell isn't a saint, but I like him because he doesn't want to take shit from nobody and most of all because he was a goalscoring machine.
He has big responsibilities, and he made a lot of bad choices. He has never loved any of his clubs or fans, he plays for money and that is fact. You're ok with it? Good. You say there's many more players who do it? Fine, that doesn't change anything.
Most of the players play for money, but they still like the game, so did Vieri. It would be childish to think that the players are all for the club since they aren't. That's in the past.
How you can possibly think that he could be welcomed back at the S Siro by our fans is just beyond my understanding. He was treated like a pig when he came back, and he deserved every bit of it if you ask me.
I'm pretty sure he'll never be welcomed back by our curva and that's fine. If a player leaves for our rival, then there's no need to welcome him back and I'm not asking for it.
I'm not gonna say much on this matter any more, but I'll say this. This whole thing is about the fact that you dislike/hate Vieri and are just looking for excuses to hate him. You can stopi it, just say it out loud that he's a wanker and you don't have to justify your opinion.
I think Ronaldo is a big fat ***hole and I do hate him. I dislike also Adriano actually for no reason. For some reason I liked for example Zamorano much more even though Adriano is more skillful. This is how it is, one likes the daughter, the other one the mother and the third adores the father...
