The most pimp footballers of the 2000s An unnecessary journey through the worst looks of the beginning of the Millenium
"The pimp is always in vogue, because it is never fashionable"
We borrow the words of Italian artist J-Ax traced in a masterpiece of Italian music dated 1996 "Il Funkytarro", to tell you that we have decided, without having the slightest need, to take a trip to Tamarreide and precisely in that of the late 2000s, when the level of pimp of the footballers that trampled the green fields of soccer of our "belpaese" (but not only) was on a level not even comparable to today.
Dear Bernardeschi going around with your skirt, you will never be able to compete with Fabrizio Miccoli's eyebrows, you Neymar that seem to come from a music video of Alessio you will never reach the peaks of Mexes, you Naingolann you can never touch the peaks where he has had the courage to push Antonio Cassano.
So we are ready to line up the most pimp players of the '00s.
FABRIZIO MICCOLI
What has always fascinated us about Fabrizio Miccoli, starting from the times of Ternana, passing through Benfica via Torino, was his pure, crystalline class, that talent which is only of a few, of a very few. That ability to touch the ball like another soccer giant of all time, "O Baixinho" Romario. Called the "Romario del Salento" due to its Salentine origins - Fabrizio was born in Nardò in the province of Lecce - this time we leave aside the intoxicating dribbles and the powerful and precise shoot and concentrate on the look of Fabrizio Miccoli. Those diamonds in the ears, that tattoo on the neck that depicts the kiss of his wife imprinted on his skin with imperishable memory, I also remember a little bling set in his teeth but I could be wrong.
His distinguishing feature, however, was his eyebrows. Everything that can be humanly drawn on an eyebrow, he tried it. In zigzag, in tufts, one yes and one no, both; Fabrizio Miccoli has made his eyebrows a trademark. We could not refrain from making it right again among the most pimp footballers at the end of the 2000s. Thanks Fabri!
