Ten reasons to love Baggio 1. Handsome appearance "Innate elegance, superficial fragility, he is a man with many lives, a leopard with oriental eyes" Excerpted from Baggio's autobiography - - "Heaven's Gate" Someone described Baggio this way: He has a face like an ancient Roman knight sculpture, and his eyes are as blue as the Mediterranean Sea. If you are lucky enough to see his smile, you will be addicted to it and unable to extricate yourself. I don't want to wake up either. Baggio's beauty lies in his classicism and restraint. In people's impression, there is always a faint and transparent melancholy floating in his eyes, and in the depth of this melancholy shines tenacity and unyieldingness. Perhaps the people who first fell in love with Baggio, apart from his wonderful goals, that glimpse were enough to carve a deep mark in their hearts and make everyone captured by him. The flowing ponytail has also become synonymous with the name Baggio. No matter whether he was high-spirited as a boy or experienced many vicissitudes when he left, Baggio was so pure and innocent, like a handsome knight in the Middle Ages, a warrior made of marble sculpture. 2. Elegant playing style "I fly on the court, where people can smell the smell of early autumn. I dance briskly, liberating myself while pursuing the perfect ending of the game." Excerpted from Baggio's autobiography - "After the Dream" "A UEFA article once described Baggio as saying that his contribution was to "make the Italian team intoxicating with his wonderful performance." Elegance is a kind of temperament that a person naturally reveals from the inside out. Even on the wild football field, his running, passing and shooting movements are so graceful. Baggio on the court is like a poet galloping on the green field, using his feet to write gorgeous poems on the court for future generations to remember. His dribbling is better than strolling in the court, and his passing is like splashing ink; Sometimes his goals are as fast as lightning and as heavy as a thousand stones, and sometimes they come easily and gracefully, and a figure passes by, leaving behind a beautiful color like an oil painting. 3. Superb football skills "I was in very good shape at the time. I could do everything I wanted to do. Really, a state gifted by God, almost perfect." Excerpted from Baggio's autobiography - "After the Dream" Baggio on the football field. Joe is like Jordan on the basketball court. You may not be able to imagine it, but he can do it. Whether it is the first goal in the league or the World Cup, Baggio always uses a heart-warming long-distance run to score a winning goal, as if people feel like a fairy from heaven has come to earth. A sudden move like a storm, a powerful long-range shot, a sniper-like free kick, an acrobatic overhead hook, and a light lob. If the court is the world of players, Baggio is the wandering loneliness in this world. Master. In addition to scoring goals, his passing and dribbling are also powerful tools for tearing open the opponent's defense. I saw people talking and laughing, swords flashing, and oars disappearing into ashes. In the words of legendary striker Van Basten, there is no doubt about Baggio's ability. Apart from him, I can't think of anyone else who can share the glory of the 1990s with me. 4. The dominance of a king "People say that I have had many perfect performances in my football career, and they are right. I pass the ball between the opponent's legs to overcome self-pity and find strength within myself." Excerpted from Baggio's Autobiography - "Heaven's Gate" Some people say that Baggio is the last true No. 10 in Italian football because his innate leadership qualities and king's domineering are unparalleled. In the 1994 World Cup in the United States, Nigeria, Spain and Bulgaria were all impressed by Baggio's heroic savior riding alone; on the night of France in 1998, Austria and Chile also had to lament Baggio's last-minute sword to seal their throats; 99/ In the 2000 season, Baggio's two goals allowed Inter Milan to triumph in the competition with Parma for the Champions League qualification. He has repeatedly turned back the tide when it fell, supported the building before it collapsed, and wrote one legend after another. Before he rules the world, he already has the demeanor of a king; he has no false reputation and a golden body, so he is fully respected. 5. Ups and downs experience "I tried to turn that period into my most beautiful ideological experience. It was a thought tempered during these many years of hardship." Excerpted from Baggio's autobiography - " After the Dream" The ups and downs accompanied Baggio from the first moment he stepped on the court to the last step off the court, but just like Venus de Milo, it was the "incompleteness" that made him eternally beautiful. Regrets and incompleteness allow viewers to imagine and create, leading the incomplete artwork to the imaginary perfection.

Perhaps it was time and pain that had eroded his happiness, and the bumpy road to football was so difficult for him; perhaps it was because of the coach's cold eyes that his depressed look remained on the cold bench time and time again; perhaps it was because Because of that famous penalty kick in 1994, he made people fall into a sad and lonely back; when the ruthless reality shattered his dreams again and again, too much vicissitudes and sorrow settled in his eyes, and it was precisely at this moment. , in these heartbreaking moments, Baggio's image became eternal. 6. Strong Will "The angrier he gets and the harder he tries to push me down, the more I grit my teeth and the higher I fly. He wants to destroy me, but he fails to do it." Excerpted from Baggio's Autobiography - "Heaven's Gate" Sacchi once said: Baggio's faith makes him indestructible, and miracles can happen to him at any time. Indeed, despite his ups and downs, Baggio's melancholy eyes still shone with strength; although he suffered from injuries night after night, Baggio's will made his legs omnipotent on the court. , leaving 205 exciting moments in Serie A; although there was a penalty kick in 1994, four years later, Baggio bravely conquered the 12-yard challenge twice; although he could not win from Sacchi to Trapattoni and other coaches have full trust, but Baggio has been fighting tirelessly to prove himself. The repeated injuries and falls, the repeated failures and setbacks all seemed so insignificant in front of his strength. Underneath his seemingly thin body, there is a kind of brave strength hidden, and his unyielding will allows him to face all difficulties calmly. So people say: Baggio is not synonymous with melancholy. Strength is more suitable for him than melancholy. 7. Persistent pursuit "If you can listen, you can learn to work with pain, just like you can work with love. And I have learned this very well now." Excerpted from Baggio's autobiography - "After the Dream" A FIFA official once said of Baggio: "Taken together, he has been Italy's brightest star for more than 20 years. In this increasingly mediocre era, there are not many stars who can move people. "When it comes to football, Baggio is undoubtedly persistent. He loves the green field so much and loves his career. He guarded the farthest dream with unremitting persistence. When pain, misunderstanding, betrayal, and deception surrounded him and tried to trap him, he never flinched. He always persisted in his dream and never gave up. . It is precisely this kind of stubbornness that is almost stubborn, which makes him unwilling to succumb to the world, unwilling to show weakness to harm, and unwilling to compromise with fate. He has a persistent and unrepentant heart. His persistence makes the sport of football a a feeling. 8. Simple loyalty “I am known to like to change teams every year, but my desire has always been to believe in great love, both in football and in life. Fiorentina was my great love, and if it had not been for me If you are not familiar with the Fiorentina team, it will be difficult to understand me." Excerpted from Baggio's autobiography - "Heaven's Gate". Baggio's loyalty permeates every drop of his blood. Perhaps the six teams from Florence to Brescia will It makes people think that he is a person who is constantly looking for a new living environment, but every change is a major decision in his heart. For the team, Baggio's departure does not mean a sentence, but more of a helplessness, and his loyalty to the Azzurri supported him until he stepped onto the field for the last time. Loyalty to his family allowed Baggio to have a happy family, and loyalty to his friends prevented Baggio from betraying the secrets of his teammates in order to gain the trust of the head coach. Baggio's loyalty lies in his loyalty to the sport of football, his loyalty to faith and love. His loyalty is so simple, as simple as a child stubbornly guarding his toy. 9. Pure soul "I believe in love, I believe in feelings, I believe in pure people. I believe in friends..." Excerpted from Baggio's autobiography - "Heaven's Gate" Baggio's heart is as pure as white clouds, as transparent as gems, when you think about it Look for a flaw in it and you'll find it's all in vain. The torture of injuries made him take Buddhism as his faith like a big child seeking protection, and he allowed this faith to run through his career for nearly 20 years. When football was gradually being swallowed up by money, he said: "A person who is only interested in profit will not continue to play so hard after a broken knee, but I will." When faced with provocations and blows, he chose to tolerate and remain silent. But he will use goals to give his opponents the most favorable counterattack on the court.

His happiness is very simple, including playing football, hunting, music, and family. There is no extravagance, no scandals and rumors. As described in his autobiography "After the Dream", "Everything has become nothingness. He is a wise Zen." Or, he is like a white cherry blossom, like a spring morning." 10. Do you need a reason? "Baggio's secret exists in the whole life, in the spiritual life. On the surface, simplicity is. The most ordinary, but simplicity is often the most beautiful." Excerpted from Baggio's autobiography - "After the Dream" When he walked onto the court wearing a blue jersey for the last time, the other 21 people became a foil; The last time he completed a shot in a blue jersey left endless feelings; when he walked off the court, blue recorded his glory, loss and sadness. When he stepped onto the field for the last time, the great San Siro saw him off. Only this temple of Italian football was worthy of his farewell stage. When he left, applause, tears and blessings gathered in the sky above the stadium. The result is meaningless, he is the protagonist here. Pele said: Baggio's classic World Cup goal should be painted into an oil painting and collected. Cruyff said: In that era, besides Maradona, Baggio was the best player. Zico said: Baggio is not someone's replacement, he is a truly world-class star. Maradona said that the best Italian in my heart will always be Baggio. He is a true master of art on the football field. With all this in mind, do you still need a reason to love Baggio?
