In this week's Great Serie A Game (which doesn't include Roma), we go back to the 1996/97
season, April 6, 1997 to be exact. Milan, who had won the Scudetto the year before under Fabio
Capello, were going through a disastrous season. Uruguayan manager Oscar Tabarez took over in the
summer, and was sacked midway for bad results.
All month I've been seeing these "Top _____ of the Decade" posts all over the Offside, so I
thought with 2010 just around the corner it's time to unveil the list of the top 20 Italian players
of the decade (2000-2009). For this list I considered any player that played a season from
2000-2009, but naturally they have to have made a big impact to be on this list.
Founded in 2003, Paolo Maldini and Christian Vieri's clothing line, "Sweet Years," has always
been a mere blip on our need-to-know radar.
That was, however, until we learned that they also make chocolate products.
So yes, we're interested. Paolo Maldini (screw Bobo; he's gone soft in the tummy) and
chocolate?
