Ангелы с грязными лицами
The same season two other prominent Argentines moved to the Italian league: Antonio Valentín Angelillo (Inter) and Humberto Maschio (Bologna). The three had all been part of Argentina's defenders that brought home gold from the 1957 South American Championship. With an emphasis on the forward line positions, the team was nicknamed "The Angels with Dirty Faces", a reference to cinema's then-celebrated "Angels with Dirty Faces"--the team's irreverent style of play and lackadaisical attitude to training. The nickname followed the trio after the tournament and their move to Italy. In Italy, the trio were nicknamed "The Trio of Death", the trio's clinical ability in scoring goals.
