Calendar of FC Barcelona

Along the past varied decade of the greater 'cracks' of the football have belonged to LaLiga Santander. One of them was the Italian Giusseppe Rossi, the one who 'shined' dressing the T-shirt of the Villarreal. The one of New Jersey was formed between the quarries of the Parma and the Manchester United, attaining debut in the European elite under the orders of the same Sir Alex Ferguson. Nevertheless, his go through Old Trafford was practically testimonial, contesting grieve 14 parties in which it marked 4 so many.

Thus, the 'network devils' took the decision to look for him an exit for 'foguearse' in First Division, agreeing a cession with the Newcastle in the first place and afterwards in the Parma. However, the footballer could not consolidate in both teams and the Villarreal made a big bet by him in the 2007 when only it had 20 years of age. In the previously known like The Madrigal, the italoestadounidense evolved futbolísticamente season after season until his 'explosion'.

This would arrive in the season 2010-2011, when the forward fulfilled 23 years. In that moment, Rossi enjoyed of his best level under the orders of Juan Garrido, the one who turned him into the referent of his square. Like this it has remembered it the player in an interview conceded to 'AM', in which it confessed that "there was a year in the Villarreal, the 10/11. This year exploded playing of constant form and putting 32 goals between the League and the Europe League". This year, in addition to the 11 assistances delivered in all the competitions, the player remained fifth maximum goleador with 18 targets empatado with Villa, Llorente and Soldier and to alone two of the 20 of Agüero and Negredo.

The big performance showed by the goleador during the already mentioned campaign woke up the interest of the big clubs of Europe, as it has manifested the footballer in the interview. In some audacious statements, Giusseppe ensures that during the 10/11 was beside Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the 'table' of the big figures of the Spanish football. "In Spain, afterwards Messi and Ronaldo, I was here. All the big wanted to me", affirmed contundentemente.

A career truncated by the injuries

However, so much in the football as in the life the things can change in a second, and lamentably Rossi was victim of this irrefutable fact. In the minute 60 of a party in front of the Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabéu, Giusseppe fell tended to the flat and the alarms of lit. When finalising the meeting confirmed the worst: The forward had broken the ligament crossed. Of this way began the ordeal of the player, that was 557 days of drop and was traspasado of Vila-real to Florencia.

In the Fiorentina, the ariete continued with his 'Road Crucis' and recayó twice more. The injuries truncated his career and after being yielded a pair of seasons in the Raise and in the Celtic, where also suffered a new physical setback, remained several months like free agent until fichar by the Genoa, in where it was until the 2020. In February of that year put course to the MLS to join to the rows of the Real Salt Lake and in November of the past course went back to Italy to try it in the SPAL. Now, the player has done a review of his best years while it looks for a new destination.
