Antonio Cassano Best Foot ball Player

Antonio Cassano (born July 12, 1982 in Bari) is an Italian footballer who plays for Serie A club Sampdoria, mainly as a second striker. Nicknamed Peter Pan, Fantantonio, El Pibe de Bari (a clear reference to Diego Maradona's nickname) and Il Gioiello di Bari Vecchia (the jewel of Old Bari), he is known for his short temper, as well as his ability on the pitch, which led to the coining of the neologism Cassanata by his former coach, Fabio Capello, in November 2002. The word is regularly used by Italian journalists as a euphemism for any behavior incompatible with team spirit in football.
