Every era will have memorable stars, such as Roman Prince Totti, Lord of the Rings Raul, Beckham, Batistuta, super Pipoinzaghi, but for the old fans of the 90s, there is a star whose name is destined to be indelible. That was the winner of the 1993 Golden Globes, the melancholy prince Robert Baggio.
For Baggio, many old fans remember Baggio's melancholy back after losing a penalty at the 1994 World Cup, but even if he lost a penalty, he could not stop his charm and affected the melancholy prince of a generation of fans!
Talented players are most afraid of injury, many talented players have been destroyed by injuries, but there are also stars who have overcome injuries and returned to the court to stage their own legendary stories, Baggio was seriously injured when he was young, and his entire career was almost dragging a half leg in the game, so that he can achieve such a great achievement in this situation, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
From 1990 to 1998 Baggio participated in 3 World Cups, in the 1990 World Cup in Italy Baggio played as a substitute, But Baggio seized one of the few opportunities to play, scored against the then Czechoslovakia, his goal also became the best goal of that World Cup, at the Meazza Stadium Baggio opened a run all the way through the opponent's several players and shot directly to score, And FIFA also voted Baggio's goal one of the seven most exciting goals of the 20th Century World Cup, forever in the annals of the World Cup! However, Italy did not break into the World Cup final held on their doorstep, they lost to Argentina on the semi-final penalty, and it is a great pity that they did not qualify for the final, but the whole world remembers the Italian player with the pigtails who was fascinated, and the president of FIFA praised: "Baggio's legs, like angels singing!" ”
Baggio of the 1994 World Cup was already the leader of the Italian national team, but he did not perform well in the group stage, and even was insulted and ridiculed by 60 million italian nationalities, after all, Baggio is the world footballer of the year, how does Jaw Joe face such a big pressure? That is to use their own strength to prove themselves, in the knockout round against Nigeria, Italy in the 88 minutes is still 0-1 behind, this time Baggio stood up, he bravely equalized the score, pulled Italy back from the edge of the cliff, in extra time he went down to the next city, led Italy to the next round, 1/4 final Italy met Spain, Baggio scored the goal that determined the outcome of the game in that game, sent Italy to the top 4, the semi-final encountered Bulgaria, Baggio staged a double performance , leading Italy to the World Cup final after a gap of 12 years. Stars are the ones who can decide the outcome of a game, just as Argentina has Maradona and messi today.
In the final at the Rose Bowl Stadium, Baggio and Italy met Roma Leo and Bebeto's Brazil team, which is a narrow encounter! After 120 minutes of fierce fighting, Italy and Brazil are inseparable, into a brutal penalty shootout, in the penalty shootout, Baresi, Masaro penalty concede penalties, Baggio is the last player to take the penalty, in the face of great pressure Jaw Joe will fly the penalty! In this way, Baggio missed the World Cup title, and later Baggio responded to the penalty at that time that he thought too much, but also left the melancholy back that fans around the world remember, competitive sports are very cruel, but Baggio is an eternal memory in the hearts of a generation of fans, although he has not won the World Cup, but he is enough to feel the world!
For the older generation of stars, I may know very little, but under the influence of my family, I really remember these superstars who have galloped on the pitch, especially in the hearts of old fans, Italy, Argentina, Brazil have the heaviest weight, Baggio is also the darling of the fans of that era, career won the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or in Juventus won the league and cup championship and the Champions League, although there was no World Cup championship, but in the hearts of old fans Baggio can not be replaced.
