Giovanni Ferrari (Italian pronunciation:[dʒoˈvanniferˈraːri]; 6 December 1907 – 2 December 1982) was an Italian footballer who played as an attacking midfielder/inside forward on the left. He is regarded as one of the best players of his generation, having won the Serie A 8 times, as well as two consecutive FIFA World Cup titles (in 1934 and 1938) with the Italy national football team.[1][2][3] Along with Giuseppe Meazza[4] and Eraldo Monzeglio, he is one of only three Italian players to have won two World Cups.[5]
A creative, advanced midfield playmaker, Ferrari was a strong, physically fit, hardworking, versatile, and well-rounded footballer, as well as being a generous team player. Due to his technical ability, vision, tactical intelligence, and passing ability, he excelled at building attacking plays and creating chances for teammates, at a time where assists weren´t recorded, but he was famous for setting up his teammates, although he was also capable of scoring himself due to his powerful and accurate shot. He was primarily deployed as an attacking midfielder/left–sided inside forward, known as the Mezzala role, in Italian football jargon.[1][2][3][6] throughout his career.
