AZZURRO RECORDS: Pioneer Club - Virgilio FOSSATI played in the first match of the Azzurri and is one of the first Azzurro players to score in his debut match. Inter is the second Azzurro Club to give most players, scorers and Captains to the Italian National team. It is also the second Azzurro Club whose players played most games, scored most goals and captained most games in Azzurro. Inter is the second club in World Cup history with most World Champions who played in a World Cup final (18). It is also the second Azzurro club with most Italian players who finished in the first four places of the World Cup Championships (28). Inter is the second most Azzurro club with World Champions - 15: 1934 - Luigi ALLEMANDI, Mario CASTELLAZZI, Attilio DEMARIA, Giuseppe MEAZZA; 1938 - Giovanni FERRARI, Pietro FERRARIS, Ugo LOCATELLI, Giuseppe MEAZZA, Renato OLMI; 1982 - Alessandro ALTOBELLI, Giuseppe BERGOMI, Ivano BORDON, Giampiero MARINI, Gabriele ORIALI; 2006 - Marco MATERAZZI. It is the second most Azzurro club with Runner-up World Champions - 7: 1970 - Mario BERTINI, Roberto BONINSEGNA, Tarcisio BURGNICH, Giacinto FACCHETTI, Alessandro MAZZOLA, Lido VIERI; 1994 - Nicola BERTI; and the Azzurro Club with most players who finished third in the World Cup - 5: 1990 - Giuseppe BERGOMI, Nicola BERTI, Riccardo FERRI, Aldo SERENA, Walter ZENGA. Ivano BORDON formed part of the Azzurro Squad that finished fourth in the 1978 World Cup. Four Inter players became European Champions with the Azzurri in 1968: Tarcisio BURGNICH, Angelo DOMENGHINI, Giacinto FACCHETTI and Alessandro MAZZOLA. Luigi DI BIAGIO formed part of the Azzurri squad that finished second in the 2000 European Nations Championship, whilst eight other players formed part of the Azzurri squads that finished fourth: 1980 - Alessandro ALTOBELLI, Giuseppe BARESI, Ivano BORDON, Gabriele ORIALI; 1988 - Alessandro ALTOBELLI, Giuseppe BERGOMI, Riccardo FERRI, Walter ZENGA. Annibale FROSSI and Ugo LOCATELLI won the Olympic Gold Medal when the Italian National team won the Football Tournament of the 1936 Olympic Games, whilst four other Inter players formed part of the Azzurri squad that won the Olympic Bronze Medal after finishing third in the 1928 Olympic Games: Fulvio BERNARDINI, Silvio PIETROBONI, Enrico RIVOLTA and Valentino DEGANI who never played with the Italian National team but formed part of the squad. Fifteen Inter players won the Coppa Internazionale: 1930 - Luigi ALLEMANDI, Fulvio BERNARDINI, Leopoldo CONTI, Giuseppe MEAZZA, Silvio PIETROBONI, Enrico RIVOLTA; 1935 - Carlo CERESOLI, Attilio DEMARIA, Ricardo FACCIO, Giovanni FERRARI, Ernesto MASCHERONI, Giuseppe MEAZZA, Alfredo PITTO, Roberto PORTA, Pietro SERANTONI. Luigi ALLEMANDI and Giuseppe MEAZZA formed part of the Azzurro squad that finished second in the 1932 Coppa Internazionale. Giuseppe MEAZZA was the Azzurro Captain of the Italian squad that won the 1938 World Cup. He is one of only four players (all Azzurri) to be the first to win two World Cups and consecutive ones, the only European players in World Cup history to achieve this. In 1938 Giuseppe MEAZZA became the first Captain to receive the World Cup Trophy away from home. He is the midfielder who scored the most goals in Azzurro and is the only player to have a major stadium named after him (Stadio Giuseppe Meazza of Milano). Giacinto FACCHETTI was Captain of the Italian National team when the Azzurri won the 1968 European Nations Championships and finished second in the 1970 World Cup. Together with Salvatore BAGNI, they are two of only ten players to score in the first minute of an Azzurro match, but he is the only defender to do so. Franco BONTADINI scored the first Azzurro Competitive Goal and Mario CORSO scored the Azzurro Goal number 500. Giuseppe BERGOMI was Captain of the Italian National team when the Azzurri finished third in the 1990 World Cup and fourth in the 1988 European Nations Championships. By forming part of the Azzurri squad in four different World Cup editions, together with three other Azzurri players, he is the most Italian player with World Cup Editions Appearances and the third most All-Time World Cup Editions Appearances in World Cup History. Giuseppe BERGOMI is also the youngest European player to win the World Cup (18 years 201 days) and the earliest player to enter as a Substitut in World Cup History (after only four minutes). He is the only defender to score more than one goal in the same match of the Italian National Team, the third youngest player to make his debut in Azzurro (18 years, 4 months, 23 days) and the player with the second longest carreer in Azzurro (16 years, 3 months, 20 days). Ermanno AEBI was the first oriundo to play in Azzurro, the first oriundo to score an Azzurro Goal and the only Italo-Swiss Oriundo in Azzurro, whilst Ernesto MASCHERONI was the first Uruguaian Oriundo to play with both National Teams of Uruguay and Italy. Luigi ALLEMANDI (2 matches) and Alfredo PITTO (1 match) were Azzurri Captains in the 1935 Coppa Internazionale won by the Italian National team, whilst Alessandro ALTOBELLI is the player who missed most Azzurri penalties (3). Giampiero MARINI received the fastest caution (Yellow Card) in World Cup history - 1 minute, and the Italo-Argentinian Attilio DEMARIA is one of only seven players to play with two different countries in the World Cup and the only player to play in two World Cup Finals with two different countries (1930 with Argentina and 1934 with Italy). Walter ZENGA has the record of the longest unbeaten goalkeeper in World Cup History - 517 minutes and Marco MATERAZZI was the first player in World Cup history to be disqualified for a provocation. Davide SANTON is the fourth youngest player to make his debut in Azzurro (18 years, 5 months,4 days) |
