Sandro Mazzola

Who is Sandro Mazzola?

Alessandro Mazzola is an Italian former football player. He is the son of Valentino Mazzola, who was killed in the Superga air disaster in 1949, and the most renowned Italian football player of the 1940s, winning five consecutive Serie A titles with Torino. Mazzola played for the Inter Milan team known as La Grande Inter. He was capable of playing in several advanced positions. He was primarily utilised as an inside-right, but was also used as a forward, winger and as a supporting striker on occasion. In his later career, he was usually deployed as an offensive midfielder with creative instincts, which was aided by his passing range, vision, technique, ball skills, and close control. He was also a prolific goalscorer as a forward. He was most highly regarded during his prime for his pace, stamina, balance, acceleration, and agility, in particular when dribbling at speed, which along with his excellent ball control and technical ability, enabled him to beat defenders frequently in one on one situations.

With the entire career of seventeen seasons played only for Internazionale, he holds the honor of being a one-club man.
