He might be unlucky couldn't join Serie A at much younger age but he couldn't prove when he was in Serie A. I think this just another what if story blown up by people on the internet.

    Around 2010 I was in Italy as an Erasmus student ,at that time I was at top of my form running 15 km every day . The 5x5 football pitch was like 2 min from my apartment so many Italian guys were calling me to play for their team. Almost every day I was playing a 5x5 football match at least. I wasn't very good to score many goals but had great passing ability and was running a lot and most of the times I was the faster on the pitch.
    One summer afternoon I was on that pitch preparing to play and a guy brings one of his friends. Before the game starts in the warm-up everyone was watching that new guy .At that time I didn't speak almost any Italian and the Italians were talking to me in broken English mixed with Italian. I said to one guy wow he is really good ,and he told me that (the new guy) was voted last year the best player in Serie B.Then before the game starts he introduced himself to me .Ciao sono Davide !!! That guy was with long beard and a bun.
    The game starts, and he was on the opposing team he starts quietly but after like 5 mins he scored like 2 goals .Thats it I saw that as a challenge and I would have him man-to man for the rest of the game I decided.
    So I had him on manto man ,I was in his back in the centre of the field with my hands touching his back he gets the ball on his feet ,with one touch he passes the ball above his head and mine he runs towards the gk ,the gk exits and I am running behind him ,he lobs the gk in the penalty area and running to score an easy goal before the ball gets out of the field ,I am running full speed behind him . Just before the ball gets out and i am about to intervene a corner with one touch he lobs me to the inside of the field ,somehow I don;t fall even with that speed and follow again the ball ,the ball still in the air with no gk , he could score an easy goal,but as I follow him back he lobs me again and shoots he hits the crossbar and then goal from a difficult angle .I was in awe !!!!I have never seen anything like this on a 5x5 football field .I was like what just happened ??? No one has done such a move when I was defending him. and all these happen in like 5 sec 4 lobs 3 on me and one on the gk .
    The game ended I don't remember the score, probably we lost .After a month or so I went back to my country still thinking about that incident after a while I started searching best Italian players in Serie B/C ,beard etc and found the legend of Davide Moscardelli.
    To this day I am 90% sure he was that player on that field that afternoon. He was really special, can't be anyone else!!!

      I am a goalie. I had a similar experience with the guy.
      He lobed me 5 times in 29 seconds and then decided to hit the bar of an open goal. The ball rushes and hits my teeth out, then back to him. This time round, he scores with a no look header as if he is meditating....
      Brother, I woke up immediately, just to find out that I may have bit my tongue while sleeping. I have also stopped using alcohol since that experience 😂😂😂.

      The whole story is 100% true, we were in the center of the field I was the last defender he gets a pass on his feet ,with one touch he passes the ball above me , he then near the penalty area he lobs the gk and the ball has a projection to go out he runs and also me behind him, am I am about to intervene a corner he touches the ball above me to the inside of the field ,I touch the left post and turn quickly in the inside ,the ball stills in the air he lobs me again to the outside and he is far left on the field like 160-170 degrees from the left post he shoots in the air and hits the crossbar and then scores.

    Moscardelli was one of the first viral memes that spread out in the early 2010s on the italian internet. First time i saw him play was when he was playing in Serie B in Rimini. He was a great player for Serie C and B and he had enough talent to get in Serie A in his thirties and that's a great accomplishment for a "province superstar". What made him viral on social media in 2011-12-13 was his beard and haircut paired with his capacity of scoring a couple of attractive goals in serie A.

  • @oskariratinen1213

    A retired football coach was once my neighbor and he used to tell about this player called Pasi Nevanperä who was "the most talented guy Finnish football has ever seen, but unfortunately also the laziest". The guy was absolutely natural with the ball, but he only wanted to score goals and lots of them and didn't care how low a tier it happened on. He had no ambition to put in the work and effort to become the best he could be. That meant that ever since his youth years, he just took a step down in the league pyramid whenever he wasn't scoring enough goals anymore. He holds the record in goals scored on Finnish third tier during one season to this day, together with Joel Pohjanpalo. If I'm not mistaken, he still plays somewhere despite being close to if not over 50 years of age already. And you have to respect that. He loves the beautiful game for what it is, not for money or fame.

    In Spain we have "Pablo Infante". Some insights: after numerous media interviews in Spain, it emerged that Infante spent years refusing offers from club in higher divisions due to his work as director of a bank branch, located 50 kilometers from Mirandés' facilities. He was a graduate in Business Administration from the University of Burgos, and played the vast majority of his career in teams in the Province of Burgos. He single-handedly led third division teams to Spain's cup semi-finals.

      You can find some of his highlights on CZcams. Take into account he was playing in low tier divisions and just decided to play at 2nd division when he promoted his really small and unknown team -for that time. So footage is rare and late footage is when he was already "old" -to say, speaking about football.

    Rispetto per Moscardelli, grande uomo, prima di essere un grande giocatore. Chi capisce qualcosa di calcio ed ha giocato a certi livelli, o avrebbe potuto giocare a certi livelli, solo che a volte ci sono scelte di vita che vanno al di là del denaro. Poi c'è chi è stato fermato dalla burocrazia sportiva: in Italia a livello giovanile ti facevano firmare il " cartellino a vita" questa pratica ha rovinato la carriera di molti giovani talenti ( compreso il sottoscritto, senza falsa modestia) . Diventava un ricatto, dove alla fine la squadra doveva avere un'ottima offerta economica, altrimenti dovevi riscattare il cartellino economicamente; altrimenti per 2 anni non potevi essere tesserato per altre squadre ( se ricordo bene, erano gli anni 80/90) . Sarebbe interessante fare una ricerca su questo " cartellino a vita" perché realmente ha rovinato tanti giovani talenti italiani. Buona vita a tutti.

He was scouted by several big clubs internationally but he said no. He's 33 now.

    I was in Italy when he played through his career I remember him very well. he was never treated like a great player. He was treated like a division 2 player or a low class player. the Italians don't consider him to be anything they don't even appreciate him. He also didn't help himself he should have gone to another country to play like the English league or even that Russia league deal was good. he saw himself as Italian but the Italians never saw him as Italian else they would have called him in the national team. or in the Italian under 2023. And him refusing to play for Belgium was his biggest mistake he did to himself. Belgium is a great national team. He should love his original country Belgium maybe that is were his star 🌟 is.

    Played in the third tier, but was wanted by AC Milan, Juventus, Liverpool among others.
    The fee offered translated to £30m circa 2005, so probably £60m+ in todays market.
    Played for England and even scored the goal that qualified them for a World Cup, but they stopped picking him because he wouldn't quit his teaching job.

      Absolutely not. Fake News. £60M today would be almost £2M in 1955. No player was bought for more than £100K until 1961. The first £1M player was 1975. Maradona was the first player to go for over £1.75M in 1982.

      My post saying 30m was from memory, the actual amount would have been 20m in 2005.
      Even that would be a near 60m player in today's market- not that money has inflated by 3x since 2005. But the amount paid and market value of players has, easily.
      And he would have been the most expensive player in England had the transfer been done, so it was certainly going to be up there near the world records for the time.
      He turned down moves that were a value of 50k in 1958. At the time the British record was 34.5k.
      Just to further make the point how the MARKET has inflated more than the currency, that's just under 1m in today's money.

Although the football market has changed dramatically you can’t make huge logical leaps like that. Small clubs could break the world transfer record back in those days. It wasn’t what it is now. A £35K transfer back then is not equivalent to £20M in 2005. That’s just silly.

And there was this guy, that rarely came out to play with us, he was just incredibly above everyone else.

Not only that, but he also had massive charisma and social skills. The professional team tecos of Guadalajara tried to sign him for 10 years, he refused and became a doctor. Honestly, the world lost a wonder because of the corruption on Mexican football.

    I grew up with someone, who had a Croatian backstory. He was a complete footballer, 192 cm, 84 kg, as technical as Zlatan. He was voted the best national youth player of the year, three times in a row. But, he didnt fit in, in the football culture, we have.
    He was rejected for the youth national team, cause he had problems with taking "orders". Instead he hoped his dual national citizenship would give him a place in the Croatian national team. So he rejected the national team, in the country he was born in, and hoped he got a call. And he did, at 20, Red Star Belgrade contacted him. They gave him a chance, he was gone for three months. The war torn team, had its eyes renewing the team with Europes biggest unsigned talents.
    And i dont know what happened there, ive heard rumours, and he was broken in spirit when he came back and i cant forget the words he uttered;" Im not a good footballer ". He never played for another team, and retired at 21.
    We have talent, but, we have to many trainers, who are more interested in breaking a character to fit in their vision.
    There was also another player, who actually did play in the youth national team, a defender, but both his knees exploded before he even was 18.
