"But it's just such a simple way of playing, that Kevin managed to pull off a hat trick of assists. With casual passes, he could penetrate the opponent's defense. This proves what I said before, a team with Kevin can easily feed three top scorers. Even if it's Dugarry and Kevin on the same team, he can turn into Shevchenko."
The Dugarry that Crudeli mentioned is one of the biggest flops in AC Milan's history.
Zidane, Lizarazu, and Dugarry were the three stars of Bordeaux at that time.
Perhaps his transfer fee, adjusted for inflation, wasn't the most expensive, but he made AC Milan miss out on Zidane, and many Milan fans are still bitter about it to this day.
Second leg of the 95-96 season's UEFA Cup semifinals.
Milan's key focus was Zidane, who played in midfield, but in that match, Dugarry scored twice to help Bordeaux defeat Milan, leading Milan to fetch him to San Siro at a whopping 7.18 million dollars at the end of the season.
