MARCIO AMOROSO’S HISTORY
Marcio Amoroso is returning to Italy after a five-year absence. The Brazilian striker is a World Cup champion (defeated Liverpool with San Paolo in the World Cup finals in Tokyo). He made his debut in Serie A with Udinese in the 1996/1997 season in a 2-1 road game in Cagliari on September 22. He stayed at the Friuli stadium for three years, two of which were under the helm of Alberto Zaccheroni (before he left for Milan), and he scored a total of 39 goals in Serie A, holding the title of highest scoring player in the season before he left. Then, in 1999, he transferred to Parma to work with coach Alberto Malesani, where he stayed until the end of 2001 without crossing paths with Carlo Ancelotti (who was already with Juventus). However, the Rossoneri’s coach remembers, along with anyone else associated with the team, Amoroso’s three goals during the 4-0 first leg Uefa Cup loss suffered on April 4, 2002 against Borussia Dortmund. That wasn’t the first time that Paolo Maldini and team-mates saw an impressive display of Marcio’s talent: the Udinese bomber realized his team’s only goal of the game in a 5-1 Milan league victory, and once again at the San Siro on March 4, 2001 when his goal ended the game in a 2-2 draw with Parma. Now, this is all in the past because today is the beginning of a new story for the Brazilian Champion. He will join friends and fellow countrymen at the Milanello and will work alongside Shevchenko, Gilardino and Inzaghi to continue to rack up goals, but this time for Milan.
