Faustino Asprilla has a theory about Hernán Crespo’s goal-scoring form at Parma, and it’s so outrageous that it’s impossible not to laugh. 😂
According to the Colombian, when the Argentine arrived at the Italian club, he was living with his parents, his girlfriend had stayed behind in Buenos Aires, and he had gone six months without any kind of “recreational activity”. Asprilla diagnosed him immediately: a mental problem. Without wasting time, he called a Colombian friend who was visiting Parma, introduced them, and the rest was history. “They started going out and hitting the stuffed animal”, he said bluntly. The result? Crespo couldn’t stop scoring. ⚽
“Problem solved! He was clogged up”, Asprilla concluded with the same calmness someone uses to explain how to fix a pipe. The most unexpected tactic in Italian football, and it worked. 🏆
