We play the 55th minute of the final of Euro 2000 between the French team and Italy, on July 2, 2000 in De Kuip, the Dutch bowl, nickname of Stadion Feijenoord. On the right side, back to Bixente Lizarazu and Zinédine Zidane, Francesco Totti finds Gianluca Pessotto of a heel. The center of the right side is taken up just ahead of Fabien Barthez by Marco Delvecchio, in the back of Marcel Desailly. It is the opening of the Azzurri score against the Blues World Champions in title.
Without the improbable equalization of Sylvain Wiltord in the 94th minute of the meeting, on a clearance of “Fabulous Fab” deviated by David Trezeguet (then author of the Gold goal), the named Marco Delvecchio would have been the hero of an entire people. He will not be European champion 2000, nor 2006 world champion.
Born in Milan and trained at Inter, Delvecchio gradually imposed itself on Roma alongside Francesco Totti and Vincenzo Montella, notably by registering 23 goals in 1998-1999. Cantoned with the key bench at the Euro, Marco Delvecchio enters the place of Filippo Inzaghi in the second half against the Netherlands, in the semi-finals, before being established to everyone's surprise by Dino Zoff. The bet almost was a winner.
Marco Delvecchio threatens the referees
After the trauma of Euro 2000, Marco Delvecchio won the title in 2001 with the Giallorossi alongside Vincent Candela. He becomes a winger to let Gabriel Batistuta register 21 goals. Before experiencing a chaotic end of career. It does not impose itself in Brescia, or Parma, or ascoli. In 2008, he embarked on a final challenge at Pescatori Ostia, a club near Rome in Italian D4. His career will end after a derby of the capital against Ostiamare.
Delvecchio is excluded for two warnings, a first for simulation, a second for imitating the referee taking steps to place a wall on a free kick. At the final whistle, the former Italian international comes to light the referee, threatens him, explaining that he has high friends placed at the Federation and insults a touch judge, continuing the arbitral body to the locker room! Suspended for five games after this incident, he decides to hang up the crampons, making a scandal against the referees.
He is now known to have participated in the version of
Dance with stars In Italy, Ballando con le Stellein 2012. The former striker finished second in the edition and put himself as a couple with his dancer.
