Esteban Cambiasso’s goal against Serbia and Montenegro during World Cup 2006 was the culmination of an amazing 25-man passing move culminating in the combative midfielder slammed the ball home with aplomb.
This summer, In The Stands will trail through the football archives and bring together the greatest goals and moments in football history as wet your appetite for the upcoming new season.
With an abundance of options at our behest, we start with Esteban Cambiasso’s mesmeric finish to a 25-move-combo against Serbia and Montenegro during their 6-0 rout at the World Cup 2006 group stages.
Commencing with Liverpool midfielder Maxi Rodriguez, Jose Pekerman’s men proceeded to stroke the ball around the pitch with conviction, incision and skill in a 56-second move.
Every outfield player except goalkeeper Abbondanzieri and fullback Nicolas Burdisso were able to enjoy the gaieties of the passing exhibition.
By the time the watching millions (and the Serbian defence) were wooed and bamboozled, the Argentines went for broke as Cambiasso flicked the ball to striker Hernan Crespo, who duly back heeled the ball back to ‘Cuchu’ and the rest as they say is history.
It was one of those goals that you need to see again…and again…and again… It was as Cambiasso himself said, “patience, rhythm, circulation, surprise and football artistry at its best.” Even Alan Hansen was impressed!
