Some words from the great man himself:
9/24/2005
MILANELLO - Pippo Inzaghi spoke exclusively to the Milan Channel: 'I have trained with the ball for ten days without any pain. I always thought I would have to recover before I could return. When doubts have arisen it hasn't been easy, I've been away from Milanello for two months but now I have overcome that. I was back today, trained with the rest of the team and this is the most important thing. The coach and players applauded me before training, which is a great thing. Now I have to be cautious, I still have work to do before I can play. Getting into the car and coming to Milanello was emotional, it was like the first day at school. I am part of a great group that wants to win at all costs. It's too early to talk but I feel very strong in the head, I heard from the tennis champion Kim Clijsters when I was in Belgium and she was out for a year and felt strong when she returned. I hope that will be me. I will certainly live football in a more clam way. I have been out for a long, long time, not playing in this period has shown me how fortunate it is to be a footballer. We are privileged and fortunate. I got anrgy in the past about certain episodes but now looking at everything with a different eye I don't think I will get angry anymore.'
What a hero.
