According to the latest news from Italy's "Corriere della Sera" and other media, when the European Cup Italy vs Spain match was underway, the Italian legend Robert Baggio, who was watching the game at home, was unexpectedly broken into by 5 heavily armed robbers. Fortunately, the five robbers only broke Baggio's forehead with the butt of their guns, then locked him and his family in the room, and robbed them of cash, jewelry, watches and other belongings, without harming their lives.
The news spread public opinion in an uproar, and some fans thought of Italy's performance in the European Championship and thought that the five robbers may have been to vent their anger. In this European Cup focus game, although Italy only lost by 1 goal, it was completely beaten by Spain. In particular, the Spanish teenager Nico Williams almost broke up one of Italy's wings. Spain, which gave up ineffective ball control, was able to give full play to the tactical advantage of "flying with two wings" in the past on the basis of controlling the field, and its overall strength was far above Italy. If it weren't for the excellent performance of Italian goalkeeper Donnarumma, who made several great saves in a row, the Azzurri would have lost by at least three goals.
Presumably, the 57-year-old Baggio will be very aggrieved after watching this game, and he will be robbed by robbers, not to mention how uncomfortable it is. Speaking of Robert Baggio, his popularity in China should be no less than that of Ronaldo, Zidane and other stars, because his career has always passed by the championship, and he has a melancholy temperament. In addition, Robert Baggio has a handsome appearance and has been concerned by domestic fans for a long time, even after retiring for many years, he is still regarded as one of the most handsome men in football.
Born in 1967, Roberto Baggio started his career in Vicenza, rose to fame at Fiorentina, and won the title of Europe's best young player in 1990, attracting the attention of many giants in Italian football. In the end, Fiorentina's arch-rivals Juventus signed Baggio for a record £8 million, and his years with the Bianconeri were also the pinnacle of Baggio's career. With 30 goals and seven assists in 42 appearances in the 92/93 season and winning the UEFA Cup, Baggio won the 1993 Ballon d'Or and played in the 1994 World Cup as a central player.
At that time, Serie A was known as the "Little World Cup", and almost all of the top 10 teams had top stars, and Baggio was one of the best. With strong league competitiveness, the Italian national team is also a group of elites, performing well on the field and successfully reaching the final. However, against an equally strong Brazil, Italy were unable to win in 120 minutes and the two sides had to go to penalties. What happened afterwards is well known, Italy's regrettable defeat, the lonely picture of Baggio and the passionate celebration of the Brazilian goalkeeper, that scene is regarded as a famous picture of world football.
The 1994 World Cup was also a turning point in Baggio's career, and since then he has been injured frequently, his form has been up and down, and he has been transferred to Milan, Bologna, and Inter Milan in succession, all of which have received huge attention, but his overall performance has been declining year by year. In 2000, Baggio chose to join the underdog Brescia, and for four consecutive seasons, he basically guaranteed to score more than 10 goals per year, and he was a teammate with Pep Guardiola for a while, and finally hung up his boots here. After retiring, Baggio rarely appeared in public, did not coach the team, and rarely even participated in TV shows, but he did not expect to be on the news page again, it was such a thrilling encounter.
