Roberto Baggio, an Italian Legend

Minggu, 25 April 2010.
Roberto Baggio was not much of the greatest football players from Italy-one doubts, but it was not until the summer of 1990 that I discovered who he was, when I think about the story of his 19 million dollar transfer from Fiorentina (Florence) was Juventus (Turin). This date is the most expensive transfer in history, not only Italian but world football. Roberto Baggio, I know, had already (reached 23 years of age), the legendary status of the Fiorentina, where 94 (not that number includes "Copa Italia and the European Cup)" Serie A "game, scored his 39 goals. This addition helps Fiorentina finals UEFA Cup 1990, they unfortunately are not won, will receive.

It was clear to see that Baggio had a great talent in-state wing, in his evaluation of the statistics significantly, but there is more to the story. After his transfer from Fiorentina to Juventus in fact led to riots in Florence, fifty people, who included victims' Fortunately no one died. It all makes me think that those players who would become known as "Il Codino Divine (Divine ponytail) was truly loved the city of Florence was by his contribution to not only their football teams, but the city was.

As for me, it was received Italia 90, Roberto Baggio, I played the first tournament where I was able to watch me even see all the talent I had heard of them, with excellent ball handling skills, so he placed on a par with many of the best in South America. Needless to say that Baggio makes mention that the man is more than capable of controlling the ball was even one whose field of vision with a shot of power to him an exceptional player. In terms of performance Baggio Italia 90, it was there that he scored two goals in a one-to Czechoslovakia, where he had a lot of size, which he later display on several occasions to follow.

Italy, however, it will continue to "World Cup Italia 90 'lost to Argentina on penalties in a game that saw Roberto Baggio for some reason do not zone until late in the second half of the semifinals. This game is most felt Baggio has not begun to do so, even though it made a difference as was Argentina Giusti forced him in a way that earned him a red card tackle. Argentina, but unfortunately for Italy, and I think that Italy is followed by a penalty shout, evidence that the 1-1 draw Baggio still has his kick converted from the penalty spot.

Italy is the third in the World Cup, which really was a disappointment for most of his fans what they had expected to at least reach the final, but despite this, we can say that Baggio played very well. This despite the fact that he was not sure of the starting lineup of the place and it will be very defense-minded World Cup, where players of creativity (he is one of them makes no difference), really.

After the "Italia 90", Roberto Baggio began his career in Juventus, the team he will probably be recalled. As it was Juventus, who saw his best years, he score 115 goals in 141 league games with the winning Scudetto in 1995, along with the 1993 UEFA Cup and Coppa Italia goes 95th For my part, but it was during the 91-92 and 92-93 seasons, which I am most impressed by Baggio, as it had become in these years, whilst in South America and New York that I'm able to see more matches Juventus, were included, in which he scored four goals on the same day, Milan, Van Basten was done the same.

Roberto Baggio was in football terms as "fantacioso" because it is the sort of players who are not so much dependent on the speed or physical violence, but his view of creativity, imagination is a game. He is a player who was on the field with the ball and the artist playing the position for the game art, while inspiring a dream for those of us watching. That put him the same light as any other football genius Maradona, Garrincha, Zico, and Cruyf. Those whose imagination was so much to the game than just the food or lose, but decorate it with pieces that have only a very little understood even in a situation in mind, much less out on the field. This is how they do it when other guests are not targeted, or those of their team, they seem better than they are, or even the little things they do when they do not always end up with a purpose to show brilliance of their talent.

Of course, if the players of this type tend to crowd more than any other way, they also usually not very consistent on the field happy. When they have a tendency to not play well throughout the game, but to win those five or ten minutes, which they manage, not only games but also to inspire the masses with the blissful joy that only she can provide. Since this is the case when Baggio was taken as a substitute for Inter Milan v Real Madrid match he managed two goals in five minutes, the result of a 3-1 victory for his team, which desperately needed a victory to progress in the next round Champions League.

After 90 Italia Baggio will play both the "1994 U.S." and "France 98". This is the United States in 1994 in Italy, where he lead the final evaluation of five of their eight goals. One of them, a last minute goal that Italy is still not certain elimination against Nigeria and overtime winner it is maintained in spite of these two goals and the game winner against Spain and Bulgaria, Roberto Baggio is probably the most He reminded the missed penalty against Brazil final. It will be delivered in a shot that Brazil is the name of all fairness, he did not miss the only penalty kick yet perhaps it is sight to see his shot sailing over the bar and in which, as he lowered his head will always be defeated by the Italian fans. It's unfair in a way that even if he 106,122 penalty he scored in particular those who remain in 1994, he missed the recent memory.

Roberto Baggio, but returned to play for Italy in France in 1998, supported where their first game against Chile, he was not only the Viera in the first goal in Italy, but do so when he was hit with a view to the Chilean player of hand to keep it reasonably believes a penalty. Baggio was a lot of fear because he has caused the spot-kick, images, and four years ago, he missed it, despite pressure from Italy, for the purpose it was entrusted to draw level with Chile, he made it, with the score five minutes guests before the 2:02 level. France 98 Baggio to score another goal against Austria with two minutes to give Italy a 2-0 lead and would go to Austria to score a last minute goal as they had done the last two games, but in this case (unlike the previous two), it was not enough to compensate.

It can honestly say that regardless of Baggio Italian first player who played in three World Cup in France in 1998, but the last two Italian game comes on as a replacement for del Piero limited experiences of all truth is no longer up to expectations. This leads to consider that many trainer Cesare Maldini (father of Paolo Maldini waiting) long to Baggio against France in the game, he was always sudden death overtime win to close. Italy will continue, however, the penalties scored by Roberto Baggio France's penalty is still losing about Baggio This marked the end his World Cup career, the 2002 squad that does not include him, despite his having had two good seasons Brescia.

Because now, it would be easy to say that Roberto Baggio in Italy in one of the greatest players in his World Cup participation was. Since this is the case, as Baggio has 9 goals ratio (own Rossi and Viera) 16 games, of which he did not even start some of which he was removed because their goalkeeper had a strange twist of fate of the displaced, he never played in European Nations Cup. Roberto Baggio, in principle, does not include 96 teams playing in England because she missed a penalty for the final against Brazil, many still believe that this decision Sacchi, who led the Italian, who was eliminated in the first round.

In the case of other interesting statistics about Baggio, Italy has only one vacant World Cup game in their field, in a way that is on penalties. It's 1-0 defeat against Ireland in 1994, the U.S., I saw live from Giant's Stadium in the Meadowlands.

Baggio in my head, and that many other football experts is one of the greatest players of all time, but I always felt he was not only his ability, to him was the lack of which, however, the coaches who prefer other players. Since this is the case with Lippi, Trapattoni, and in particular, Sacchi, where he played for the Italian National Team and AC Milan. It is in this team, which, unfortunately for me (Die Hard Milanista) Baggio would have two unproductive seasons. This despite AC Milan, Scudetto in 1996, and he kept eating the first player in Italian football history to win with two different teams back to back seasons.

What is my personal memories of Baggio, I will never forget the ecstasy I felt when I (live at Giant's Stadium) saw him score the first and Italian second goal against us in Bulgaria, the U.S. finished to send the 94th Of course, had moments where my feelings of sadness with Baggio, like the time in Scotland when he was forced to leave the snow and nearly frozen in the field, were injured after a collision with a Scottish player. This is done in 1992 qualifying for the World Cup. This year, in which he received a most unfriendly in Florence during the match against Fiorentina in the match with Juventus.

Overall, I would say that, although Baggio was in the same category as Maradona, he was not so great, nor any of its approximately 90% percent of the Argentina Grand talents. Exactly what was in itself sufficiently massive display of football, because not only Italy but all of these groups, he adorned themselves with their own touch of elegance.

How do I add a footnote that Baggio has become even more before his retirement from football, from Catholicism to Buddhism, this is the belief he has, to date, in which he lives, he bought a ranch in Argentina.

Maradona was controversial at the best players of all time in an Internet poll by FIFA site. Nobody can deny that the fact that Maradona was the best dribbler of the ball. Showed much when he scored what is perhaps the greatest ever World Cup goal in 1986 (winner: "Goal of the Century by FIFA in 2002).

Their most resounding victory date was carried out last year when the first non-British team in England in Wembley Stadium to beat. In one of the great revolutions in the history of football, Hungary has passed, rather than Germany, Puskas played despite an injury at the start of the tournament. Puskas fled Hungary after the Soviet invasion of 1956 and continue to play for Real Madrid, his 30's. In Madrid, he worked with the likes of Di Stefano and Gento numerous trophies to win.

5. Franz Beckenbauer (1964-1984)

This list of top 10 greatest footballers of all time is highly distorted at the front, instead of all these lists. We make no apology for the way those players that bring joy to the audience worldwide with its objectives and the arts. However, this list would be without Franz Beckenbauer (1945) concluded. the nickname "Kaiser" Beckenbauer was three times the mainstay of Bayern Monaco European Cup winning team of the mid seventies. He was master of his country to World Cup 1974 in Germany. An elegant sweeper, Beckenbauer was known for his excellent technical and tactical knowledge. As a manager he led the German national team to win their World Cup 1990 in Italy.

6. Eusebio (1958-1978)

Eusebio da Silva Ferreira (1942) won 10 Portuguese championships and the 1962 European Cup with Benfica, scoring two goals in the final. He almost single-handedly took Portugal into third place in the 1966 World Cup and scored nine goals. Eusebio was his trademark speed (it was the Portuguese Under-19 champion 400, 200 and 100 meter races), dribbling fast and powerful and accurate right to strike.

Helping Man U to win the European Cup in 1968 was his biggest success. This year, the European Player of the Year was chosen. But in the following years would be the best player of all time the best Rock and Roll Celebrity darkened, the problems of gambling, womanizing and alcoholism overshadowed his performance on the field.

He 68 goals in 147 matches for Juventus and was crowned top scorer in Serie A was at least three times.

9. Alfredo di Stefano (1943-1966)

was twice European Footballer of the Year, Alfredo Di Stefano (1926) Real Madrid to five consecutive European Cups. Incredibly versatile, and many believe he is the best all-around player in history. Di Stefano is a powerful striker with stamina, tactical versatility, and blessed above all a vision that enabled him to act as conductor of the symphony true offensive football. Stephen has numerous league and cup titles with Real, but like George Best, has never honored a World Cup. He moved to Espanyol in 1964 and played for hanging up his boots at the age of 40 years.

10. Zinedine Zidane (1988-2006)

Or Zinedine Zidane (1972) and Michel Platini is the greatest French player ever questioned. Zidane is definitely not on this list of the really big players. The outstanding player of his generation, he led France to World Cup glory in 1998 and European Championships in 2000. It was a great passer of the ball first, a point guard that led to his remarkable steps forward with great. But Zidane goals can produce, and especially the winning goal in the final of the 1998 World Cup and 2002 Champion's League.
