If for no other reason than his 18-goal haul, Bierhoff was the outstanding figure of last season.(and add to that 10 assists, three efforts against the woodwork and a hand in provoking two own goals!)The German was the only player to feature in all 34 matches.
Though hounded by criticism, some of it less than generous, he always let his feet do the lalking, playing a key role in attack.here too, Zaccheroni was seen to be vindicated for he always stood by the player under pressure.
Bierhoff didn`t let him down.Together, the two men have spent three seasons with Udinese, leading the club from the margins of Serie A to the big time in European football(when Udinese came third in the 1997/1998, it was the club`s best finishing position in the history).
