In that passionate tango country, there were argentine players with distinct personalities and wild spirits, who galloped across the pampas with their long flowing hair, wild and uninhibited, and made people's blood boil.
In 1991, with the outstanding performance of the Copa America, Chinese fans met the Argentine young man named Batistuta, who was only 22 years old at the time, and he scored thousands of goals, and the passionate celebration made most fans unforgettable, and the fans affectionately called him Barty or "BATIGOL" like foreign fans.
In July 1991, Barty chose to join Fiorentina in Serie A to start his own legend. However, Barty, who joined Fiorentina, did not seem to have as smooth sailing as expected, especially in the 1992-93 season, Fiorentina was once in second place in Serie A at the beginning of the season, but then due to problems within the club and the irrational tactical arrangement of the manager, Fiorentina collapsed in the second half of serie A, and finally at the end of the season with a gap of 1 point, it was difficult to escape the doom of falling into Serie B. Barty, on the other hand, chose to stay with the Purple Lily to guard the Franchi Stadium and help Fiorentina to be reborn, and he did so. In the end, Barty helped Fiorentina to return to Serie A a year later through 16 goals in 26 appearances in the Second Division.
Barty finally ushered in the first real outbreak, and from September to November 1994, Batistuta set a new Serie A record of 13 goals in 11 consecutive serie a rounds, the season pocketing the Serie A Golden Boot with 26 goals. His domineering way of celebrating on one knee is still unforgettable, and Barty has earned a very Chinese nickname - "God of War". At that time, Barty was bent on bringing a championship for Fiorentina and therefore turned down the invitation of the giants. It wasn't until the 1995-1996 season that Barty finally helped the Purple Lily to win the Coppa Italia and the Italian Super Cup, delivering on his promises.
