He was usually deployed as a right-sided, central, or defensive midfielder, although he was also capable of playing in defence.

Milan, he successfully converted all eight of the spot kicks he took.[1][2]

International career
At international level, Annovazzi also represented the Italy national team at the 1950 FIFA World Cup.[1] He made his international debut in a 3–1 home win over Czechoslovakia on 14 December 1947.[3] In total, he made 17 appearances for Italy between 1947 and 1952, during a time in which most of the team was composed of players from the legendary Grande Torino side of the 40s,[2][4] and was Italy's captain between 1951 and 1952.[5]
