Christian Vieri · Italy
UEFA EURO
2004™ player's profile
Craft and graft could be the watchwords of Christian Vieri's
style: blessed with bullish strength and nimble feet, the Australian-raised
striker has scored goals with ease at every level.
National team
After an international debut against Moldova in 1997 in which
he scored Italy’s 1,000th goal, Vieri was electric at the
following year's FIFA World Cup, scoring five times. After missing
UEFA EURO 2000™ through injury he was in determined mood
at Korea/Japan, where he scored four of his team's five goals
to move alongside Paolo Rossi and Roberto Baggio in the Azzurri's
all-time World Cup scorers' chart.
UEFA EURO 2004™ qualifying
First choice when fit, Vieri led the line in five matches, scoring
both goals in the 2-0 home defeat of Finland and ending his campaign
with a goal in the final 4-0 victory against Azerbaijan which
won Italy Group 9.
Club
The 2003/04 season heralded Vieri's fifth term at FC Internazionale
- representing a marathon commitment for the much-travelled player.
Born in Bologna, he played for Torino Calcio and Pisa Calcio
before enjoying decent returns in the 1993/94 and 1994/95 seasons
for US Ravenna and AC Venezia.
1995: Finally in Serie A with Atalanta BC, Vieri struck
seven goals in 19 outings to prompt a move to Juventus FC. Eight
goals in 23 matches helped the club to the Scudetto in 1997 but
he did not hang around to help the Turin club defend it, opting
instead for Club Atlético de Madrid where he scored 24
goals in as many games.
1998: Then he returned to Italy to S.S. Lazio, with whom
he lifted the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. In July 1999 he was on the
road again, however, to Inter in a world-record €50m deal
(€40m plus Diego Simeone). In 2003, he finished as the top
striker in Serie A, but his 24 goals in 23 games could only lift
Inter to second place in the table. He also scored his first-ever
UEFA Champions League goal as Inter made the last four.
2003/04: Although injury restricted him to just 22 league
outings, he performed superbly, scoring 13 goals. Was not so
prolific in Europe as Inter were eliminated from the Champions
League and UEFA Cup.
Did you know?
Vieri's father, Roberto, played for many leading clubs including
Juventus FC.

BBC's UEFA EURO 2004 player's profile
While Francesco Totti and Alessandro del Piero provide the
Azzurri's subtlety and guile, much-travelled target man Christian
Vieri is the battering ram at the head of Italy's attacking trident.
Born in Italy, Vieri was just three when his family emigrated
to Australia where he emerged as an outstanding cricketer and
footballer.
A summer holiday to Italy as a teenager allowed Vieri to showcase
his talents to Italian scouts and after joining Serie C1 side
Prato, spells with Torino, Pisa, Ravenna, Venezia, Atalanta and
Juventus followed.
A successful season with Atletico Madrid saw Vieri crack 24 goals
in as many games before joining Lazio in 1998, only to sign for
Inter 12 months later.
Vieri has endured mixed fortunes for Italy, bagging five goals
at France '98 but attracting criticism for missed chances in
the Azzurri's shock exit to South Korea four years later.
Deadly with his left foot and dangerous in the air, Vieri remains
one of the outstanding centre-forwards in world football.
