The Bosnian returns to the Olympic Stadium with the Nerazzurri shirt. Has it reached its peak at the age of 35 or are the best years behind you?
Rome – Inter it will be a special match for José Mourinho off the pitch but, in the green rectangle, the return of Edin Dzeko to the Olympic Stadium will be celebrated. It is not known of the welcome that the fans of the Capitoline club will give him, but the former Giallorossi certainly gave a lot to the cause until last summer when, after a series of back and forth, he finally joined the Nerazzurri of which he has long been betrothed. But, just like his “cousin” Kjaer, is the Bosnian in his best season, despite his age? Or did he give his all to Roma? We asked the FIFA database, which answered us like this.
To Rome –
Undoubtedly, at Roma, Dzeko lived his best years, sportingly speaking. In particular, it was FIFA 18 and FIFA 19 (seasons 2017/18, that of the Champions League semi-final, and 2018/19) that gave him the highest overall rating in the Giallorossi experience: a resounding 85. If we think about where his career in Serie A began, the increase was obvious: the Bosnian striker started with just an 80 in FIFA 16 (2015/16 season), the version of his arrival from Manchester City, while he ended the experience at the Olimpico with a good 83, which denoted the years that passed for him too.
At Inter –
And, speaking of the passing years, there is a reversal of the trend compared to last season. The very first Dzeko at Inter has in fact collected a round 84, with an upgrade of one point compared to last season’s evaluation, thanks to the fact that, despite the lack of results, it was still he who dragged the Giallorossi into the last championship. It is already in itself very rare that a 35-year-old has a similar “overall” but, obviously, so much of the possibility of confirmation for the next FIFA chapter (or, why not, another upward adjustment) will depend on the performance with the Nerazzurri this one. year.
The beginnings and the City –
What is certain is that Dzeko has come a long way. His FIFA debut, at Wolfsburg, dates back to the 2007/08 season, when he presented himself with a card for just 64. Already the following year, at 22, he finds himself with an increase up to 78. And that’s enough to bring him to have a further increase, valid for the following two years, thanks to the transition to Manchester City. At Roberto Mancini’s court, he had earned a solid 84, the same current rating, proof of the longevity of a great striker.
