Vieri: Strikers just need Instagram

By Football Italia staff

Christian Vieri has accused today’s generation of not caring about football enough. “You just need a good Instagram to be a striker.”

Vieri was one of Europe’s most feared forwards in the 1990s and early 2000s, scoring over 200 goals for the likes of Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Lazio and Inter.

“Nowadays you just need a good Instagram to be a striker,” he told Radio Deejay.

“You don’t need to score 30 goals anymore. No need to score every Sunday.

“Before, if you didn’t score then you locked yourself indoors, went back out the following day to review the mistakes you made and try to improve.

“That doesn’t happen anymore. We were sick, all my generation, especially strikers. We were sick for goals.

“Icardi? We’re very different. I wanted to start fights with everyone. I scored about 140 goals in Serie A and, more or less, I remember them all, even the chances I missed.”
