Looking through the old football posters collected today, I saw Gianluca Viali, who appeared many times in the material I collected, which shows the status and influence of this bald head in the 90s. I remember that one year, the domestic "Football Club" magazine did a World Footballer of the Year award, and Viali finally won this honor, although it cannot be compared with the awards selected by the mainstream media and institutions in Europe, but it can also be seen that Viali's influence in the world and especially in China at that time. Later, I also kept seeing some news about him, although he had cancer, he still laughed at life, and recently he was preparing to stay with his former favorite Sampdoria, playing for him, supporting him, owning him, managing him, and Viali seemed to express his love for Sampdoria in a way that is rare among many ordinary players.
Whether it's from playing football or facing illness now, or investing in Samp, Vialli seems to be a person with three high iq, emotional intelligence and ball quotient. Born in a wealthy family, he has a superior starting condition that ordinary people can't reach, joined Chelsea at the end of his career, the perfect transformation from player to coach, some people are other people's children, destined to be excellent, even if it is to fight against the disease, he also seems calm. The love for him is beyond words, a brief review of this bald football years.
Born in Cremona, Italy in 1964, he has shown unusual talent for football since he was a child. In this famous football city, Vialli began his football career from childhood, adolescence to youth, and later, of course, entered the famous Cremona team. From 1980 to 1984, from the age of 16 to 20, Vialli won the main position in Cremona with the attitude of a talented teenager. He played 105 games for Cremona, scoring 23 goals.
But the small town of Cremona can never be the end of Vialli, the stars and the sea are his yearning, and at the age of 20, Vialiviali moved from Cremona to Sampdoria for £1.8 million. For a teenager who is only 20, it is not an astronomical number, but he only said one sentence: "My value is not something that money can measure." What shocked all Italians was the limitless future of this teenager. Later, when he moved from Sampdoria to Juventus in 1992, the transfer fee had reached the then astronomical price of £12.5 million.
The 8 seasons at Sampdoria were an era when Vialli and Mancini shone together as twin stars. He wore a blue jersey to play 232 games and scored 83 goals, creating a brilliant Sampdoria pentathlon crown. From the 1984-1985 season to the final of the Coppa Italia, in just five years, four times to reach the final, three times to win the championship, Sampdoria overnight became the king of the cup. In 1990, he was the first European champion in team history and the European Cup Winners' Cup. The following season, Viali, Mancini, Lombardo and other good players launched a strong attack on the league title, defeating the then-invincible ac Milan with his and Mancini's goals at home, and winning 4:1 against Napoli, which owned Maradona, knowing that Napoli was still the standard defending champion at that time. By this time the Sailors' Legion had no one to stop them from the Apennines, and Viali reached a peak in the time of Sampdoria.
But what really brought Vialli's football career to the culmination was the 3 years he spent bidding farewell to Sampdoria for Juventus, when Juve were in a relatively sluggish period. Since the 80s Platini, Bonek and other generations of superstars created the glory is gone. In its place was the invincible division ac Milan, who in the summer of 1992 brought the bald captain from Genoa to Turin for a whopping £12.5 million, setting a transfer record at the time. Viali, who came to Juve, quickly proved his worth with strength. Never tired of running, fierce and thunderous assault, powerful shots, keen and creative passing, coupled with that naturally strong body, he is like a frontcourt perpetual motion machine, constantly instilling young energy into the old woman Juventus. I don't remember who the opponent was in the first half, but Vialli scored a hat-trick to help Juve win 4-3 in the final 4-3. This is Viali, a tough man who never gives up.
Another famous striker he was paired with at the time, Ravanelli, once said of him:
"Vialli is my coordinate not only at Juventus, the most admired teammate of my entire career is Vialli. He's my point of reference and my teacher, and he's always given his all in training and drives my teammates to fight hard in the game, which has had a huge impact on my entire career. I was able to end up being an international level player and had to thank Vialli for his help. "
On 22 May 1996, The City of Rome faced Ajax from the Netherlands and Juventus from Italy. The two teams were forced into a penalty shootout in a 1-1 draw in a 120-minute (including extra time) match, and juventus won 4-2 with four shots, winning the Champions League for the second time in history. The main squad of the Juventus Champions League in the 95/96 season is as follows: goalkeeper: Peruzzi; defender: Ferrara; Verjoward; Torricelli; Pesotto; midfielder: Conte; Paul. Sosa;Deschamps;Del. Piero; Striker: Ravanelli; Vialli, Juventus in 1995/96 was definitely one of the most powerful teams in European football, beating the previous champion Ajax, who was biased towards technology. Vialli completed his coronation ceremony, he led Juventus to the European Champions Cup as captain, the only player in the history of European football to win the three major European Cups and runners-up, no regrets, far away from the British Peninsula, to continue to write a new chapter, this poster is the photo of him joining Chelsea.
Vialli actually became famous earlier than Baggio, and the twin stars of Mancini created the indispensable Sampdoria, and the sailor's song resounded all over the world. In 1995, he was selected as a World Footballer of the Year by World Football Magazine. The only player in the history of world football to win the three major European Cups and runners-up, he participated in the 1986 World Cup, the 1990 World Cup and the 1988 European Championship but passed by many opportunities due to personality reasons. He is a striker that I really like, a model of technology, body and mind, and many people consider him an iconic figure in the "modernization" of the Italian striker.
