When it comes to the super forward in the history of Argentine football, it is absolutely impossible to avoid the "god of war" Batistuta, in fact, in terms of personal technology alone, he is far from being able to compare with small players such as Maradona, Messi, Aguero, and even inferior to super strikers such as Milito and Crespo. But Batistuta's deterrent power in front of goal is unquestionable, even if he does not have fancy technique, he does not have much speed, but he can always complete the goal at key moments, which is the innate talent of the top shooter. Of course, the reason why Batistuta is very well-known is also related to his own sad temperament, which is also in line with the development of Argentine football in the past 2 or 30 years, just as Baggio is to Italy, Batistuta is the melancholy prince of Argentina.
Recently, in Argentine tennis activities, Batistuta rarely appeared, but to the great surprise of fans, in just 2 years, he has been white-haired, his face is very old, and he looks like a 70-year-old man. In fact, Batistuta was born in 1969 and is only 52 years old this year, and the root cause of his rapid aging is the injury left over from his athlete years. As mentioned earlier, Batistuta has ordinary personal skills, but he is very hard working, always sparing physical strength and injury on the field, and always rushing to the front.
This "life-playing" style of play is easy to be recognized by fans, but it will also cause a heavy burden on the body. When Batistuta retired, the ankle had been completely scrapped, and the cartilage and muscle tissue had long been worn clean, equivalent to walking, and the friction between the bones was directly, and the pain could be imagined. At the height of his injury, Batistuta couldn't even walk 3 meters to get up to go to the toilet at night, and he had the idea of amputation. Fortunately, after the doctor's active research, Batistuta underwent ankle replacement surgery 2 years ago, filling the ankle with an artificial prosthesis.
This is equivalent to the installation of prosthetics by the disabled, which requires a long period of adaptation, during which Batistuta must have suffered greatly, and his body became very thin and weak, and his appearance became more and more old. From Batistuta's experience, it can also be seen that any professional player is not easy, behind the brilliant results is full of injuries, fans in insulting and insulting players, or to be merciful, after all, we have not experienced the pain they endured, there is no qualification to talk nonsense.
Batistuta debuted in Newell's Old Man team, was Messi's brother-in-law, and later played for both River Plate and Boca Juniors, landing in Serie A in the early 1990s and joining Fiorentina. At that time, the Serie A was at its peak, almost every team had top stars, and Batistuta's Fiorentina was also one of the strongest teams at the time. Barty played for the Purple Lily for nine years, scoring 157 goals, becoming the team's first scorer, and in the eyes of Fiorentina fans, Barty's status is even on par with Baggio's, and there is a statue of him in the city center.
In the summer of 2000, Barty moved to Roma and helped the team win the Serie A title in his first season, the only league title for the Red Wolves in nearly 20 years. Since then, Barty has played for Inter and Qatar's Al Arabi, officially retiring in 2005. For the national team, Barty participated in three World Cups and helped Argentina win the 1993 Copa America, which was the only major championship for the Argentine adult national team in the past 30 years before Messi led the team to win the championship.
