Become a abandoned player in Milan at the age of 24, but at the age of 37, Inter Milan is a thigh. The powerful interprets what a prodigal son is to turn back

At the request of my friends, let’s talk about Archerby, an Italian strongman who once lost himself but could turn back.

Francesco Archelby was born on February 10, 1988 in a small town called Vizolopreda Bissi near Milan. Archerby was not very interested in football when he was a teenager. There is only one reason why he embarked on the road to football: his father happened to be a football coach and was coaching the Pavia Football Club at the time.

At the request of his father, Archerby has been training at the youth training camp of the Pavia Club since childhood. His father knew the importance of basic skills, so he often arranged for Archerbi to practice. Archelby was quite resistant to this. He was just a teenager at that time, and his mind was full of thoughts of playing.

Although Archerby was determined to play, under the supervision of his father, he still developed solid basic skills. As early as 18 years old, he was promoted to the first team of Pavia and accumulated experience in the low-level league. By 2010, Archerby was recruited by Regina and appeared on the stage of the Serie B.

Maybe even Regina didn't expect that Archerby, who was only 22 years old at the time, was so fierce. He firmly sat in the main seat when he first arrived and gradually became the team's defensive core. Under his leadership, Regina was quite competitive in the Serie B League in the 2010-11 season and even saw hope of upgrading. It’s a pity that he failed in the promotion playoffs and lost at Novara’s feet...

With his outstanding performance in the Serie B, Archelby has become a hot commodity in the transfer market. In the summer of 2011, Genoa and Chievo took action one after another, gaining half of Archerby's ownership respectively. Just a year later, in the summer of 2012, the veteran giant Milan extended an olive branch to Archerby and brought him to the San Siro Stadium.

At this time, Milan lost the legendary central defender Nesta. The original intention of the Ross and Blacks to introduce Archerby was to hope that Archerby could take over Nesta. This can be seen from the fact that Archerby wore the No. 13 jersey left by Nesta after joining Milan.

To be fair, with Archelby's strength and talent, he does have the chance to succeed Nesta. It’s a pity that Archerby was not on the court at this time. The player himself once said that he would go out to play as soon as the training was over and he would drink a lot of alcohol.

What's worse is that Archelby's father unfortunately died. In addition to grief, the Italian strongman suddenly realized that no one cares about him. As mentioned earlier, Archerby plays football mainly because of his father. So after his father's death, Archerby basically lost the motivation to play football.

Players in this state are doomed to perform poorly on the court. Back then, when he was as talented as Adriano, when he encountered similar problems, he seemed to have changed his own person, let alone Archerby, who was not as talented as Adrian. The Italian strongman's performance during his time in Milan was not as good as expected. Not to mention taking over Nesta, he couldn't even get into the main lineup. In the first half of the 2012-13 season, Archerby only played 6 Serie A games in total.

As the player's boss, Milan will naturally find a way to save Archelby. But this kind of problem is really difficult to solve. Back then, Inter Milan tried to save Adriano, from the leader Moratti to the captain Zanetti, everyone tried their best and could not solve the problem. This time it was Milan's turn to encounter problems, and they couldn't wake Archerby up. The Ross and Blacks, in desperation, made the decision to clean Archelby in the winter window of the 2012-13 season. At this time, Archerby had not yet celebrated his 25th birthday. Strictly speaking, he was only 24 years old, and he became a abandoned player in Milan.

The problem that Milan cannot solve, and Chievo cannot solve it either. In the second half of the 2012-13 season, Archerby played for Chivo, and his performance was also unsatisfactory. After just half a season, Chivo handled Archerby to Sassuolo.

As the saying goes, it rains all night long. Archerby was diagnosed with serious physical problems just a few days after joining Sassuolo and had to go to treatment. This directly led to Archerby missing many games in the following 2013-14 season.

At this time, Archerby had fallen to the bottom of his life, and almost no one was optimistic about his future. It was in this situation that Archelby woke up. He was addicted to alcohol and sex before, but suddenly the prodigal son turned around and completely quit what was unfavorable to his football career. In addition, his mentality has also changed and he has become more calm.

In the next few seasons, Archerby, who was wearing the pizza Sulo shirt, re-proved his strength and once again became a hot commodity in the transfer market. By 2018, Lazio recruited Archerby. In order to win Archerby, who was 30 years old at the time, Blue Eagle spent 12 million euros, which once aroused a lot of doubts.

However, Archerby quickly used his strength to dispel people's doubts. Wearing Lazio's robe, he was the strongest city wall under the then Lazio coach Jr. Inzaji. The cooperation between the generals is simply too pleasant.

It was this experience that made Inzagji fully realize Archerby's talent. After Inzaji took over Inter Milan, the Nerazzurri was at the strong demand of Inzaji that the Nerazzurri introduced Archerby, who was 34 years old at the time, which once again aroused a lot of doubts. In the eyes of many media, the reason why Xiao Inzaji introduced Archerby was purely nepotism.

However, these media that looked down on Archelby quickly realized their mistakes. This local Italian savage soon became an important member of the Nerazzurri Legion. In the 2022-23 season, the first season of Archerby playing for Inter Milan, he performed phenomenally, helping Inter Milan reach the Champions League final. Even Haaland, who is at its peak, still has few ways to deal with Archerby.

And this is just the beginning. The days that followed, Archerby has been playing an important role in Inter Milan. It is hard to imagine that Archerby, who is now 37 years old, can still be called Inter Milan. In the Champions League semi-finals between Inter Milan and Barcelona, ​​Archerby not only is trustworthy enough on the defensive end, but also has outstanding performance on the offensive end. Especially his goal in the second leg was worth a thousand gold. It was with the help of Archerby that Inter Milan once again reached the Champions League final.

Although Archerby's career has not yet ended, his experience is legendary enough. This Italian strongman fully interprets what a prodigal son is to turn back.
