Goals and curiosities

  • On 1 April 2007, he scored his 200th goal in Europe in his 400th match until then, with an exact average of 0.5. That night the same teams, Inter de Milan and Parma, this time "Valdanito" wore the neroazzurra shirt and scored his goal after the assistance of his partner, at the time, Brazilian Adriano.
  • He is the only player to win the Italian Super Cup with 4 different teams (Inter, Milan, Lazio and Parma).
  • He has a particular curiosity, the Argentine front was hired by the Inter of Milan to dispute the season 2002-03. After concluding the same, he was hired by the Chelsea of England where he disputed 2003-04, then, in June 2004, to return to Italy to play loan at the Inter Archirrival, Milan, where he disputed the 2004-05 season. After that season "Valdanito" must have returned to Chelsea, where he played his last season in the English group. The following year, in 2006-07, he would reheat in the Inter, really striking case, where he climbed in Inter, passed through Milan and then returned to Inter. Undoubtedly because of its performances and its great professionalism, the frontier is loved and respected by both biases.
  • On December 5, 2010, Crespo exceeded 150 goals in Serie A when he scored a double to the Udinese and stood in front of Enrique Omar Sívori. to be the second highest Argentine scorer in the history of that competition behind Gabriel Omar Batistuta.
  • In August 2018 the technician Marcelo Bielsa confessed that in 1998 he lied to Hernán Crespo and apologized to him. "When he was mature, I once told him that he considered him a mature player, but he was lying to him. I was trying to strengthen his self-esteem by assigning him a characteristic, a quality, that I didn't think he had.». Bielsa also acknowledged that Crespo then discovered that he had lied to him "He never forgave me that, and with great reason». The incident ended with a public letter that Crespo published on social networks, showing an unusual greatness in the football world, implying that he had already forgiven him for some time and that mutual respect had not been lost. «It hurt me» But “it made me happy to hear it,” the scorer said.
  • He's curious to have scored both in a Libertadores finale and in a Champions final.
