Alessandro Mazzola is the son of another Italian football legend, the great Valentino Mazzola, who was killed in an aeroplane accident in 1949 along with the rest of Torino great players during that time. Alessandro Mazzola spent his whole career in Internazionale and became a team legend. Apart from that he is considered to be one of the best Italian players of all time. He was always compared to AC Milan's Gianni Rivera and the Italian National Coaches rarely used both of them in their first eleven selection, a phenomenon that appeared also in the 1990's with Roberto Baggio and Gianfranco Zola or Baggio and Del Piero.
