Former Italian national team striker Cristiano Vieri expressed disappointment with the behavior of current football stars.
According to the legend, in order to become famous, it is not necessary to frequently score goals - it is enough to often make a mark in the social space.
"Nowadays, you just need to have an 'Instagram' if you want to be a striker. You no longer need to score 30 goals per game, you don't have to stand out every Sunday.
Before, when you couldn't beat the opposing goalkeepers, you locked yourself in a room, and the next day you tried to correct mistakes and improve.
Such things no longer happen. Our generation was just crazy about goals, especially strikers.
What could I say about Mauro Icardi? We are very different. I, on the field, wanted to challenge each opponent. During my career in the 'Serie A' championship, I scored about 140 goals and I remember more or less each one, as well as some missed opportunities," Vieri said.
