When thinking about excellent Italian goalscorers, there are many names that can come to mind. Currently, all sports betting in Uganda on 1xBet can be made at any moment, and everything about Italian football is featured on the platform.

One of Italy’s top goalscorersA complete player

Some of these names might include:

  • Alessandro Del Piero;
  • Filippo Inzaghi;
  • or Roberto Baggio.

However, the top goalscorer in the history of the Italian football team is not any of them. The player who has scored the largest number of goals for Italy is Luigi Riva. He is considered as one of the top Italian strikers of all time. The 1xBet Uganda platform offers chances to make all sports betting in a wide variety of tournaments, including wagers on Italian football.

One of Italy’s top goalscorers

Luigi Riva played professionally between 1962 and 1976. He spent his entire career in only two teams, which were Legnano and Cagliari. Currently, 1xbet.ug/slots/ is one of Ugandan online slots, where hundreds of games can be played while waiting for the exciting Italian Serie A.

Also, between 1965 and 1974 Riva was part of the Italian national football team. During that time he participated in two editions of the FIFA World Cup, which were the 1970 and 1974 ones. In the 1970 edition, he was crucial in helping his squad to finish as runners-up of the championships.

While in the 1974 edition they didn’t perform as well as in the previous FIFA World Cup, Riva also contributed with his goals. In total, the Italian striker played 42 matches for the Azzurra, and scored 35 goals. It is unlikely that this record will be surpassed anytime soon. Currently, one of the best platforms to play online slots is 1xBet Uganda, which can be visited before the next game of the Italian team begins.

A complete player

Riva was a left-footed striker. However, he scored many goals in his career with his right foot too. On the www.1xbet.ug/live website, fans will be able to make live wagers on how goals will be scored.

But there were many other excellent aspects about how Luigi Riva played. For example, he was capable of making powerful and accurate shots from short and long distances. Also, he was very skillful with the ball on his feet, meaning that he didn’t have problems in surpassing opposing defenders.

Luigi Riva also had an excellent positional sense. This helped him to find spaces between the opposing defense line in order to position himself to score goals. All of this helped him to become one of the best strikers in Italian football history. For pre-match and live wagers on the incredible Italian football, fans can visit the 1xBet website at any moment.
