In March 16 years ago, Batistuta made an important decision in his life, not in the familiar Florence, not in his hometown of Pampas Rosario (the club where his football dream started), but in Doha, Qatar, far from the mainstream football world, a generation of war gods finally returned to the field, ending his glorious football career
Argentina's football history has never lacked excellent strikers, Baldano, Kempez and Messi. But like Barty, strong and romantic, passionate and dreamy, there is no second person in my heart.
The first time I saw Barty on TV, I can't remember whether he was wearing a purple lily shirt or an Argentine sky blue stripe, dad said that he was Maradona's former comrade-in-arms (it was later learned that they wore the No. 10 and No. 9 jerseys at the 1994 World Cup in the United States), but At that time, Manadona was 34 years old, entering the end of his career, and the Argentine team could not lift the Hercules Cup again.
The 1998 World Cup was my first World Cup in the true sense of the word, the match between Argentina and England made Irving come out and reminded me of Barty's lullaby, but that summer was destined to belong to the Gaul rooster, and Zidane led France to the top of the world.
Since then, I have become obsessed with Barty's past, and in the summer of 1991, at the age of 22, Barty entered the cutting-edge stage of European football at the time, the Serie A. Starting against Genoa for the first time, Barty scored his debut goal with Fiorentina. On 26 February 1992, Barty scored a goal in a 2–0 win over Juventus, earning real trust, and it was from that time that fans began to applaud the word: "BATIGOL" (Barty scored)! Barty's enthusiastic goals and machine gun fires, together with the appeal of "BATIGOL", became the symbol of the city of Florence, and in the first season, Barty scored 13 goals. During his nine years at Fiorentina, Barty played 269 games for the Purple Lily and scored 168 goals, becoming the team's former goalscorer. Remember the first season of joining Roma, Barty won the Serie A title as he wished, and finally realized his dream, he also shed tears of excitement.
Barty's players scored goals and were known worldwide for their explosive shots.
Look at the goal he scored in the Champions League, the momentum is strong, showing the arrogance of a man! It has also been a topic of discussion among Purple Lily fans for many years
A powerful blast from close range made fans shout:
The single knife ball highlights Barty's delicate footwork:
As a powerful center, Barty's header is certainly brave and overwhelming
As an Argentine player, four or two strokes of pick-and-roll are also a must-have skill, and his free kicks can also help the team break the deadlock on the field.
Fans also love his celebration of running on the green field after scoring goals, which is always full of passion and excitement
Barty's national team career has been both brilliant – he scored 56 goals in 78 games for Argentina (only broken by Messi many years later, and is still the second most goalscoring list in Argentina's history), as well as regrets – participating in the World Cup and not once reaching the final four.
In November 2013, Batistuta was inducted into the Italian Football Hall of Fame.
In October 2014, Batistuta was inducted into the Florence FC Hall of Fame.
In 2015, Batistuta was inducted into the FC Roma Hall of Fame.
The age of the God of War is far away, but the story that belongs to him and the passionate years left for the fans will always occupy an important place in our hearts, and Argentina with you will never cry.
