International career

Vieri earned four caps for the Italy national team between 1963 and 1968. He was a backup keeper to Dino Zoff and Albertosi in Italy's victorious 1968 UEFA European Football Championship campaign on home soil under manager Ferruccio Valcareggi, and also at the 1970 FIFA World Cup, where Italy reached the final.

Style of play

Considered one of the best Italian goalkeepers of his generation thanks to his physicality and consistency, Vieri won the "Premio Combi" during the 1962–63 season, a title awarded to the best goalkeeper in Serie A. Throughout his career, he was often perceived as an aggressive, vocal, and commanding goalkeeper, gaining a degree of infamy for his temperament. Vieri was an elegant, courageous, and acrobatic shot-stopper, who was known in particular for his athleticism, spectacular saves, bravery, and ability to rush quickly off his line to collect the ball, as well as his command of the area, leadership, and handling of crosses.
