#1 Alvaro Recoba
Alvaro Recoba, the Uruguayan forward, who ascended to prominence during his time with Internazionale, was once considered one of the best attack-minded players in football. He had all kinds of moves and tricks in his bag and was renowned for his powerful left-footers from outside the box.
Recoba showed his mettle in his debut match for Inter, when he scored twice, first from a rocket-like shot from nearly 40 yards out and the second one from a brilliant curling free-kick right into the top corner.
‘El Chino’, as he was called back home, was once the highest paid player in the world and his immaculate long passes and perfect crosses lit up every striker’s eyes. His favourite position was as a second striker, the no.10 position, but he was equally good as an attacking midfielder and as a left winger.
