Blue Sorrow — Robert. Baggio

You are no longer seen on the green field, but your legend will last forever.

He is the elf of the green field, he is the unparalleled Master of Latin football, he is the soul and leader of the team, he is the melancholy prince of football, he is Robert Baggio. His style of ball is flowing and elegant, and his name is full of legends.

In the summer of Italy in 1990, Baggio, who made his first world cup, left behind the classic long-distance goal. In the semi-final against Argentina, Baggio stood in front of the penalty spot on the World Cup for the first time, and he sent the ball into the door, but Italy still lost the match.

The entire Italian team performed at the 1994 World Cup like writing a biography for Baggio alone, and after a twist and turn, Baggio, like a legendary hero, single-handedly brought italy to the final, when Baggio was only one step away from perfection. At the Rose Bowl Stadium in Los Angeles, Baggio lost his "lover." It turns out that the back shadow can also tell the unforgettable sadness, but how many people love this melancholy man more deeply for this back.

In 1998, Baggio turned 30, but he didn't want to bow to fate, didn't want to give in to anyone, he cut off his trademark ponytail and returned to the 1998 Italian national team as the best local goalscorer, Baggio needed the World Cup, and the Italian team needed Baggio even more. In the group stage against Chile, Baggio created a valuable penalty. Even the chatter of his opponents in his ears wouldn't stop Baggio from overcoming the nightmare he had in his heart four years ago. The masterpiece that was not completed four years ago was spread out again four years later, and this time, Baggio defeated the past and defeated himself. The 1998 Fifa World Cup in France belonged to Zidane, and even to the younger Irving. But for italians, it belongs to Baggio.

Let's open the dusty memories and relive the wonderful.
