On December 10, according to a number of Italian media reports, the 1982 World Cup champion and Golden Boot winner, nicknamed "Golden Boy", the legendary Italian star Paulo Rossi died at the age of 64. It has only been 14 days since the death of maradona.

Rossi has played as a striker on the pitch and has played for Serie A teams such as Juventus and AC Milan in his career, and despite his average physical fitness, Rossi has always scored goals on the pitch with excellent opportunities and agile running positions. The most visible achievement of his career was scoring six goals in the final stage of the 1982 World Cup, helping Italy win the World Cup title, while personally winning the world cup's best player and top scorer awards. In the 1982 Golden Globe Awards, Rossi was also uncontroversially elected.

However, Rossi's career has also been accompanied by controversy. In 1980, he was banned for more than a year on suspicion of "playing match-fixing" in a Serie A match played in 1979. In addition, Rossi did not perform well after the 1982 World Cup and announced his retirement at the age of 31. For several years, Rossi has been working as a sports commentator for various Italian television stations.
