On July 6, local time, Argentine legendary striker Gabriel Batistuta shared two photos of him and his wife Irina with a newborn baby on social media, and Barty proudly wrote, "Solemnly introduce lautaro Batistuta to my loyal fans, he is beautiful, weighs 3.0 kilograms, he is the son of our second son Lucas." Irina and I are very happy, and now that we are grandpa and grandma, we have come to a new stage in our lives. I would like to thank the hospital staff for their care and love, who welcomed this new life in the first place. Our whole family enjoyed the moment and will enjoy it even more when the pandemic is over. Thank you! "That's right, Barty became Grandpa...
Speaking of Barty, the first thing that people think of must be his iconic "eternal god of war" image, and a powerful "Barty goal" (it is said that his shot hits the goalpost, and the goalpost can be seen with a microscope that has an instant depression)", for this baby-holding Barty, it will always feel a little uncomfortable. Barty, 51, is currently in home quarantine in his hometown of Santa Fe due to the pandemic. Barty and his wife Irina had four sons: Thiago, Lucas, Joaquin, and Samuel, while Lautaro was the son of his second son, Lucas. It should be very happy that Barty began to enjoy the joy of the world so early, of course, after waiting patiently for a while, Barty will also enjoy the happiness of the four generations.
Barty was a perfect football icon that will go down in history, debuting at Newell Old Boys Club in 1987 and playing for River Plate, Boca Juniors, Fiorentina, Roma, Inter Milan and Al Arabi in Qatar until 2005, when he ended his 18-year career with an injury. In the famous British football magazine "4-4-2" to select the 25 best players in the past 25 years, he is ranked 17th, and the first place is Messi.
At the national team level, Barty played in 3 World Cups, four goals at the 1994 World Cup in the United States, five goals at the 1998 World Cup in France and one in the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan. It is worth mentioning that Argentina was eliminated in the group stage at the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, and then Barty announced his retirement from the national team, when he had played 78 games for Argentina, scored 56 goals, and was the first scorer in Argentina's history, until many years later, his position was replaced by Messi.
It is particularly worth mentioning that Barty is synonymous with loyalty in football, even if Fiorentina is relegated, he did not abandon the purple lilies, but took the team back to Serie A, giving the best youth to Fiorentina. During his nine years with the Purple Lily, Barty scored 168 goals in 269 games. From any angle, Barty can be seen as a model for professional footballers.
Although Barty moved to Roma at a high price late in his career and helped Roma win the long-lost Serie A title, this did not obscure his loyalty and even highlighted his great personality. Imagine if he went to Bayern, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barca for a challenge, how brilliant would his achievements be? Old Lord Alex Ferguson once said, "This young man will lose the Ballon d'Or because of his loyalty." ”
In particular, after retiring from the army, Barty once revealed his own physical injuries in an interview, he revealed that he was very painful, once wanted to amputate, "Basically, my left ankle did not have any cartilage or tendons, so I was understood 86 kilograms of bone rubbing against each other, sometimes I was in so much pain that I couldn't even get up and urinate." Last September, Batistuta finally completed the operation of implanting a prosthesis on his left ankle, and the deep scar naturally became the eternal medal of a generation of "God of War".
