For Inzaghi's professional life, the comeback is equally crucial. Currently, Inzaghi's contract with the club is nearing its end. Before his contract expires, Inzaghi needs a renewal contract. If he cannot return before the end of the season, Inzaghi's career in red and black might come to an abrupt end, just like Ronaldo's did. In 2008, Ronaldo suffered a serious injury that ended his season early, and later AC Milan did not renew his contract, forcing the Brazilian to return to Serie A. If Inzaghi successfully makes a comeback, the probability of his contract renewal will greatly increase. Inzaghi personally admitted that he would be back within 20 days. This means that Inzaghi might catch the Italian Cup semi-final on April 19 when AC Milan plays at home against Palermo. Including three Italian Cup matches and five league games, Inzaghi has the chance to participate in eight games before the end of the season. For AC Milan, this is definitely good news. This season, AC Milan has performed well, but Pato has been plagued by injuries, Cassano's form is inconsistent, and Allegri overly relies on Ibrahimović. Returning at a critical moment for AC Milan to win the championship, Inzaghi has the ability to deliver unexpected results. Especially in important matches against strong opponents like Roma, Inzaghi's experience is crucial.
Does tearing the anterior cruciate ligament mean the season is over early? Inzaghi says no! On the 28th, during an interview with "Slow Lens," Inzaghi personally confirmed that he would make a comeback within 20 days. This means that Inzaghi has the potential to participate in AC Milan's last eight games of the season (five league games + three Italian Cup games). In the face of injury, the 37-year-old Inzaghi interprets the meaning of "perseverance."
In the first half of the league match against Palermo, Inzaghi was severely injured after only 15 minutes as a substitute. Post-match diagnostic results showed damage to the anterior cruciate ligament and lateral meniscus of Inzaghi's left knee. For professional athletes, such an injury usually means the season is over early, especially for Inzaghi who is nearing the end of his career. However, this 37-year-old veteran of AC Milan did not succumb to the injury. With unwavering determination, Inzaghi is close to making a comeback. During the interview with "Slow Lens," Inzaghi optimistically expressed, "I will make a comeback within 20 days, and I hope to help AC Milan win." Inzaghi's statement during the critical time for AC Milan to win the championship is invigorating.
