Europe’s Most Disrespected Striker – Ciro Immobile

Over 200 goals in Serie A, a feat that deserves FAAAAR more recognition than Ciro Immobile is CURRENTLY getting. That being said, Ciro Immobile’s NEVER been FULLY regarded as an elite striker. You see, there’s an interesting narrative about him. A FRUSTRATING DUALITY of sides to Ciro Immobile.

On one side, he’s DOMINATING domestic games with Lazio, while FAILING to SHOWW UPPP for the national team. A flat-track bully, who’s never done enough for the Italian national team when it matters the most…and that’s, despite winning the Euros in 2020, and starting EVERY match for the Italian national team in that tournament.

Someone, who, despite scoring 200 goals in one of the most tactical leagues in the world, failed to adapt to Bundesliga and the La Liga.

Ciro Immobile's record of 17 goals in 57 caps (at the time of recording this video) for Italy doesn’t REEAAALLY scream “prolific”, and to be fair, I’m one of the first ones to say he definitely should’ve done better for the Italian national team.

In fact, he’s responsible for one of the most hilarious scenes at the Euro 2020, against Belgium, where he goes down…DESPERATELY trying to claim a penalty…ROLLING around as if he was SHOT, and when Italy scores, he suddenly gets up, looks around, and runs towards his team-mates…like…nothing ever happened.

Honestly, I could go on with my frustration of Ciro Immobile FOR EVER, but I’m here to be impartial, and have a neutral look on the legacy of Ciro Immobile.

But the question is…Why is a Ciro Immobile one of the most divisive strikers of the modern game? Well…stick around, because we’re gonna talk about one of Europe’s most disrespected strikers of our era.

Let’s take a brief overview of Ciro Immobile’s career and legacy.
