Recently, Argentine star Batistuta has returned to Italy to participate in a friendly match. Although Batistuta is 53 years old, his hair is already gray, and his steps are a little faltering, he still relies on his keen sense of smell to shoot a strong shot to complete the goal. Seeing Barty's goal, the 16,000 spectators stood up and applauded the former football god of war. After the game, Barty took a group photo with his former teammate Wolf King Totti, evoking the good memories of countless fans.
Today's Batistuta has lived a very comfortable life, 53 years old he became a farmer in Argentina, his estate has 1900 acres, there are villas, and he also has two horses, not to mention how moist life, in addition to Batistuta and his wife, their four sons have also been with them, the youngest son is 20 years old this year, is also a football player.
Batistuta, like Messi, debuted in the Newell Old Boys' Team, and was nicknamed "Little Fat Man" by his teammates because of his rapid physical development, tall and strong body as a child. As an adult, Barty is still physically strong, not very fast, but his sense of smell in front of the door is extremely sharp. Therefore, at the advice of the coach, Barty, who originally played as a winger, switched to playing as a center forward, and his career took a turn. Among the football forwards at that time, Barty's foot technique and dribbling ability were relatively poor, but his shooting skills were absolutely top level, comparable to Ronaldo, Van Basten and others.
With his outstanding performances in Newell's Old Boys, Barty has joined the two giants of the Argentine league, River Plate and Boca Juniors, won the league championship for two consecutive seasons, and successfully crowned the top scorer. In the summer of 1991, the 22-year-old Batistuta landed in Europe, and his first stop was Serie A powerhouse Fiorentina. Fiorentina at that time was not a good overall strength, but due to the chaos of management, the team's record was not outstanding, and it was even relegated to the second division. In the face of this situation, Barty chose to stick to the team, so he was widely loved by fans, and he also helped the team win the Coppa Italia and the Italian Super Cup.
In the summer of 2000, Batistuta became the top scorer in Fiorentina history and was named the best foreign player in Serie A in the 99/00 season. But after much deliberation, Batistuta decided to join Roma and became a teammate with Totti. It was also in the first season after the transfer that Totti helped Roma win the First Division title, which was also the Red Wolves' only league title of the century. After playing for Roma for 2 and a half years, Batistuta was loaned to Inter Milan, and at the age of 34, his form declined severely, and he basically did not have a bright performance, and after half a season, he left Qatar to pan for gold.
Batistuta's national team career also began in 1991, he was a member of Argentina's championship in the 1993 Copa America, and he played with the team in three World Cups, but unfortunately ended in regret. In 2005, the injured Batistuta announced his retirement and has lived a low-key life ever since. It wasn't until 3 years ago, when Barty had to undergo surgery because of a serious lesion in his right ankle, that he regained the world's attention.
