The uncapped, Part Ten

2- Sebastiano Rossi

Sebastiano Rossi arrived at AC Milan in 1990 with Arrigo Sacchi as Manager, initially as back-up to Andrea Pazzagli. Towards the second half of the season he established himself as a starter. He would hold on to his spot with Fabio Capello at the helm and win many Scudetti. This despite pressure from the likes of Francesco Antonioli, Massimo Taibi and Mario Ielpo over the years.

The path to the National was always blocked by the presence of Gianluca Pagliuca, Luca Marchegiani, Angelo Peruzzi and Luca Bucci.

He did receive two call-ups in late 1994 but remained on the bench.
