The history of David Trezeguet
began when Jean Albert Trezeguet, David’s grandfather, left France to
find luck in Argentina. There he became a job and he got 2 sons. Prospero,
one of them, went to Buenos Aires, the other son came 1951. His name is Jorge
and is David’s father. Like his son later, Jorge played soccer very
well. Jorge bacame a contract from Rouen in France! He traveled there with
his new wife Beatriz, a Argentine.
1977 David was born...
2 years later the contract of Jorge expires and so the whole family went back
to Buenos Aires in Argentina, where Jorge played soccer and David grew up.
David was very interested in soccer. He followed the games of his father and
played every afternoon with his friends...He loved scoring goals! With relations
of his mother Beatriz he played in Platense sein Glück, what was very
difficult at the beginning.
1995 AS Monaco discovered David. So he went back to France, but it was very
difficult because he traveled without his family. His family then came at
the end of the year. David could have tried his fortune in Paris Saint Germain
because of some relations of Jorge, but David decided to play in Monaco. There
he found a very young team with some promising players. In his team was Thierry
Henry, who is one David's best friend and one of the best striker in the world.
But David had some problems with his former coach Tigana; but after the victories
with his team, there weren't any more thoughts of leaving Monaco. During that
time he decided to be a France and not a Argentine and so he began to play
in the U 18 in France. In his first friendly game he scored 2 beautiful goals...
His career grew and grew. His first title was 1996 with the U 18, where the
team celebrated the European Championchip.1997/98 the duo Henry/Trezeguet
was unbeatable. David
scored 18 goals in 27 games and in the CL 4 in 9 games. Monaco came in the
semi-final, but Juventus stopped them. 1998 he won the World Championchipwith
France!! He played every game without the final, which was a little negative
point that time. In the following years scoring goals went on. First he scored
12 goals and then sensational 22 goals in only 20 games!!! With Monaco he
won the French Championschip. Then Trezeguet's biggest time came. The Euro
2000 in the Netherlands and Belgium. In the final David came on the pitch
and scored the GOLDEN GOAL which made France to the European Champions! At
this time everybody knew that David's new club would be Juventus Turin in
Italy. The beginning was very difficult for him because he had a strong competition
with Del Piero, Inzaghi and Kovacevic. Then he also got injured this season,
so he could show his talent only some games, where he scored some goals. But
the next year was with more success. David played every time, because Inzaghi
and Kovacevic left Juve. Trezeguet scored Juve to the Scudetto with 24 goals.
So he got also the trophie as topscorer in the Serie A.
David defend the Scudetto with Juve and in 17 games he scored 9 goals, but
he had problems with his ankle again. In the CL Juventus came into the final
but David failed a penalty in the penalty shoot-out and so Juve lost the game
against Milan!
Now Trezeguet is very important for the "Old Lady" Juventus and
for his nationalteam, where he scores many goals!!
