all I see is
“Giuseppe Rossi is an American born Italian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club Celta de Vigo…….who should have been an American legend…….who would have had more than 100 caps for the USMNT (instead of 30 he had for italy)………who should have been this countries leading goal scorer…….who is already 30 and at the end of his career……..is struck once again by injury and is set to miss at least six months after tearing his ACL and future at Celta Vigo remains in doubt.”
ACL injury
Anterior cruciate ligament injury occurs when the biomechanical limits of the ligament are exceeded (over-stretched) because it is an important internal stabilizer of the knee joint…..yup, when will-power far exceeds the body’s current state or potential the weakest body part gives way.
Prevention
paying attention to the balance of strength between hamstrings and quadriceps will help prevent the anterior cruciate ligament from being overpowered by over-emphasized quadriceps strength. It is also stressed that landing forces should be reduced together with emphasizing proper landing technique. It has been previously reported that landing on the heel, rather than forefoot with progressive transfer of weight to the heel, is potentially injurious to the ACL because of the hyper-extension forces created……..I think he didn’t get the memo on that too
Some where in his life and choices……are regrets
American born rossi chose italy and famously scored against the usa in germany wc. and basically ever since then has endured exactly this kind of injury multiple times. i can’t help but think this guy is/was getting jobbed.
poor kid. It really is too bad for him. Just star-crossed by injuries.
RIPIP Derrick Giuseppe Rosesi
And with this, Papa Rossi’s dream dies a bit more…
