What do you think is most important in your career?

What's the emotion between you and the fans?
"Very deep. It was a simple and strong emotion. I personally like the simple way of life and try to have as little contact with them as possible. I know they see me as an idol, and I know I should spend more time with them. Throughout my career, I've always tried to bring joy to the fans, and that's what I'm playing for. ”
What memories did the 1998 Fifacious World Cup in France give you?
"In the semi-final match against France, that penalty was the last touch in my World Cup history, and unfortunately Di Biagio's penalty hit the crossbar so hard that Butters couldn't do anything about it, I wanted to move the goal a bit (laughs). Before I could take a penalty, Butters walked up to me but then stopped again, but I wasn't bothered by him. ”
Let's talk about Vicenza
"Vicenza was the starting point of my career, I loved watching Serie A since I was a kid and it was great to be able to officially start my football career in a Vicenza shirt."
What about the Florence experience?
"I joined Fiorentina after a serious injury (meniscus and other serious shovel injuries, 220 stitches in surgery), I have been recuperating for almost a year, I have been away from the pitch for almost two years, and in the year after the injury I still didn't feel very good, but then I found my form, met people's expectations, and I also established and deep feelings with the Fiorentina fans."
"I started practicing Buddhism during my time at Florence, which was a turning point in my life. I wanted to stay in Florence, where I felt good, but by then everything was a foregone conclusion. ”
After you were sold, there was a commotion and protest among the Fiorentina fans?
"Yes, the parade lasted 3 days and the fans couldn't accept me leaving Fiorentina and I also felt guilty, I didn't want to cause such chaos. Although I don't think the main responsibility is on me, and I've always told the truth, the truth didn't slowly surface until 20 years later. ”
And then you won the Ballon d'Or during your time at Juve?
'Yes, in 1993, I didn't even think I could win the Ballon d'Or because my mind was on the team, and at that time we were fighting against the mighty Milan, I scored a lot of goals and the Ballon d'Or was the icing on the cake.
After leaving Juventus, you came to Milan, what was your experience in Milan?
'In my first season with Milan I had the privilege of winning the Serie A title that season with the team and I am delighted to be playing and competing with so many amazing players.
Then you join Bologna
"It was an important time in my career because my second season at Milan wasn't going well, I was a bit short of consecutive playing time and I needed to be in good shape as the World Cup approached, so I chose to come to Bologna. Bologna is a wonderful city, I also need to play and I am very happy to play for Bologna. ”
What about Inter's experience?
"I'm very happy to be able to wear inter shirts and play for it. In fact, when I played for Bologna, Inter had contact with me in the winter window that season, but I didn't want to leave Bologna and the fans there, so I would make them feel betrayed. ”
"A problem between me and the head coach? The fans liked me and the fans protested when I wasn't playing, which also caused the manager to have some difficult problems in terms of management. I had a good relationship with Sacchi and Lippi, but there was a little conflict between Sacchi and me later. ”
How did you feel when you joined Brescia?
"I went through a three-month period of solitary training before joining Brescia and I wanted to find a team that was as close to home as possible. I had hoped to return to Vicenza, but they may not have grasped what I meant... Later, the then Brescia manager Mazzoni personally called me, he very much wanted me to join Brescia, he also visited me personally, and finally I agreed to sign a contract with Brescia for two years, and my story with Brescia was born. ”
At the 1994 World Cup in the United States you missed a penalty, a sad experience.
"I should have never taken a penalty high before, the only time in my career, but it happened at that time and it wasn't my last penalty. I've always felt guilty since then, and I always think of that moment, which I dreamed about many times in my dreams. Since I was a child, I have hoped to win a pinnacle match between Italy and Brazil in the World Cup final, and since I was a child, the only thing I have not thought of is that we actually met Brazil in the World Cup final, and I missed a penalty, and that penalty became the pain of my life, and that regret became a shadow that I would never forget for the rest of my life. ”
"Then, I entered a special period, and I was deeply touched. After missing a penalty at the 1994 World Cup, I always wanted to be able to save everything through my efforts. I am willing to give everything and hope to complete my revenge on the World Cup field. But in 1996 I didn't make it to Sacchi's European Squad, in 1998 I had to be a substitute when Maldini Sr. brought me to the World Cup, and before the start of the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, Trapattoni thought I wasn't fully back in shape and didn't decide to call me into the squad. I stayed home and despite some doubts about my status, I always thought I deserved to be called up to the 2002 squad. I should go, I feel like football owes me and that's probably one reason why I chose to stay out of the world of football after I retired (choking). ”
Have you been injured too many times in your career and it has affected you a lot?
'Injuries are an ordeal for the players and I remember after the first surgery I went through, I told my mother to let her kill me.'
Do you believe in Buddhism?
"Yes, I said that practicing Buddhism was a turning point in my life, and it made me understand some truths and learn a lot. After that, I believe that suffering has never dominated my life, it has helped me out of the haze, my parents have seen my change, they feel happy, and I feel happy deep down. Since 1988, I have insisted on meditating for at least 1 hour a day, which is a good feeling and gives me the energy to empower me to go further and help me overcome my inner fears. ”
At that time, Brescia head coach Mazzoni took you to Brescia, the last stop of your career, how did you feel about him?
"He's a very simple, simple person, he can communicate and engage well with the players and build good relationships. He is a smart guy with high emotional intelligence and has never clashed with a player. ”
Do you think money matters?
"I am not a slave to money. Money does matter, it's obvious, but I think it should be given the right value, and there are a lot of things that money can't buy. ”
Do you love hunting?
"Yes, it's also a big part of my life. When I was a child I would often go hunting with my father, he taught me something, I would follow closely behind him, someone just to experience the thrill of pulling the trigger to take the hunt, and I am not, there are some unknown things behind me, every time I come home from hunting, the mood will be very heavy, very hesitant. ”
Do you have a lot of friends?
"It's hard for me to say who my best friend is, I guess friendship is not something you can say casually, it will slowly accumulate over time, when you share a lot of things between you, you go through a period of time together, you will have a feeling, that is friendship." 」
