INFO

Giovanni Rossetti was an Italian professional footballer, who played as a goalkeeper. He was most known for taking a bottle of wine on the pitch and drinking it when the action was far from his goal, rather than for his saves. He was solid keeper with a lot of acrobatic saves and he was good in leaving the goal line and closing the strikers, though he lacked consistency. He had a lot of good games, but also many times he didn't look great on the goal. In total are 10 his seasons at the goal of Milan (from 1941-42 to 1950-51), including virtually the entire war period, during which Milano born goalkeeper defends the goal of Milan. Born in Milano on May 29, 1919 and talking about footballing devotes his life to the Rossoneri (must also take account of years spent in youth), although in the history of AC Milan, the historical memory about his performance is not very lively . Perhaps because "his" Milan, as well as playing under the bombs did not quite get out from anonymity to the mid table standings. In total Rossetti collected 180 games for Milan. Generous with advice for student Buffon as a veteran of the team. At the conclusion of an honorable career , he is given the chance to be crowned champion of Italy during the last season. With ups and downs, playing up to the '48-'49 season. In the middle of that season, coinciding with the arrival of Nordahl (AC Milan is going to be great) he loses his position in favor of Milanese, which in turn in the next tournament will be replaced by Buffon. Giovanni Rossetti died on 16/09/1987 at the age of 68.
