Rudi Völler
Rizzitelli was a versatile forward, capable of playing in several offensive positions; he was deployed as a main striker as well as in a supporting role, in particular as a second striker off another centre forward, or even as a winger or outside forward, where he could deliver assists to team mates. His versatility was demonstrated during his time at Roma, where he formed an effective partnership with a more offensive centre forward, Rudi Völler. He was a quick, agile, and tenacious player, with good technique, who excelled in the air, despite his small stature.
