Additional Skills
A splendid tall figure, he was born as a forward but, needing to make way for the young Angelillo (alas!), he was forced to the wing.
Yet his trembling teammates—most notably the deft-footed Corso—blithely ignored him. Thus, the shrewd Herrera repositioned him as a full-back, where Giacinto, not relinquishing his attacking instincts, transformed into a magnificent attacking full-back.
With the physique of a cuirassier, a stern gaze, the stride of a pentathlete, broad shoulders, and a Hollywood jaw, Facchetti became one of the greatest Italian defenders of all time, as well as a symbol of one of the most powerful and victorious Inter teams ever.
