INFO:
Bruno Arcari was an inside forward who could also play as centre-forward. His career started in 1931 at Codogno. Two years later, he signed for Livorno where he had his best time, making 133 appearances and scoring 60 goals from 1933 to 1939. He also capped for Italy once in 1937. He played for several other clubs throughout the rest of his career: Genoa, Milan, Bologna, Brescia, Cremonese, Reggiana, Arsenaltaranto, Piacenza and Gallaratese. He retired in 1954.
Mainly a centre-forward in his early years, Arcari had to deal with some injuries that forced him to change his position into inside forward. Even in a playmaker role, his style of play was focused on scoring as he took advantage of his tactical abilities and timing to find the right space left unprotected by the defenders. While he didn't have a big physique, he was smart and gifted technically. He had great short sprint and intelligence to make the next move as well as an offensive attitude that made him always go towards the goal. His shot wasn't too powerful but quite accurate. He managed to play well in a position that shouldn't be suited for him due his temperament not being too good. He wasn't a methodical dribbler, he didn't like to wait statically in dead zones, and he didn't set up the attack. Instead, he'd rather run in the middle of the action. He had a tendency to add constant flow to the game, valorising a decisional ability rather than a thoughtful one. Sometimes, he looked like a centre-forward who fell back momentarily because even though he never set the other forwards, he seemed triggered by a spring with his shots from twenty meters. Furthermore, he was a very good header and a penalty specialist.
