Style of play

edit

A versatile forward, with an eye for goal, Muraro was capable of playing both as a centre-forward and as a left winger. His main characteristics were his exceptional pace, as well as his work-rate, dribbling skills, agility, and ability to time his runs, which made him a dangerous attacking threat on counter-attacks.[1][2] He was also a powerful and accurate striker of the ball with either foot, and was known for his precise crossing, and ability in the air, courtesy of his elevation, timing, and heading accuracy. Beyond his skills as a player, he was also known for his intelligence both when attacking and defending, his ability to read the game, and his tendency to be decisive away from home. Due to his playing style and role on the pitch with Inter, he was given the nickname "The White Jair."[1][3]
