*be better than Mazzola, Del Piero, Totti, Cassano, Di Natale, Balotelli on your path*
>>142943139>Tottiglorified Lampard>di Nataleglorified vardyonly impressive one is del piero but yeah, baggio is clear
>>142943156Pretty based post
you miss one kick...
>>142943139>Del PieroUCL winnerWorld Cup winner>Baggioneither
>>142943638Team sport
>>142943139DI baggio is just the Italian recoba, played 10 games a season and the rest injured
>>1429431391. Maradona2. Roberto Baggio3. Anybody else
none of you guys watched Baggio playing so shut up
He was the definition of SOVL. But sadly in this sport 1 moment can completely fuck your entire career up. I saw an interview recently of roberto and he said the missed kick still haunts him, sometimes can't sleep at night thinking what he should have done differently.
>>142943139show benuldy
>>142943731Baggio is reddit the player>>142945881You didn't even watch the fucking penalti kick tandem on youtube Mr. Redditord. Italy was already losing it and even if Redditberto Baggio scored it there was a 95% chance that Brazil would have won either way. Italy in that WC also refballed Spain hard and played some of the most boring Catenaccio ever witnessed so that WC loss was well deserved
>>142945881>>142947908>>142946496>>142943509Yeah even if he scored Bebeto would have 99% won it for Brazil anyway. 2006 Trezeguet was much worse but no one remembers cause Baggio just got that aura
>>142943821Based Swedebro
>>142943139nobody was better than del piero. baggio is accepted as the italian goat because he was never that affectionate to Juve, even if he played for >us and not for the inter or milan except when he was beyond finished. if del piero played for milan he would be unanimously recognised as the greatest by far. totti and cassano dont even deserve to be mentioned here, everyone can be great at roma, where you can play whole seasons like shit and have people remember only the good games you played. if del piero like any other Juve or milan player had 3 bad games, he would have been destroyed by the fans and replaced by another player by the coach. small clubs “legends” dont exist: the real test comes when you have to win. compared to that, all the rest are friendly matches.
>>142948450>replaced by another player*replaced with another player
>>142948450When Del Piero got injured the team finished 7th in the league with Zidane. He is highly underrated and Baggio highly overrated
>>142943156Garbage tier post MN acacoTotti was epicBut yeah baggie is the goat of football. The finest player ever. Only laudrup comes close
>>142943638Also>Del PieroOverrated shitter>BaggioShitter but based
>>142948461baggio was still a phenomenon. del piero is the italian goat for sure. baggio was sold because 20ish yo del piero was better than him. tbf, pre-injury del piero was better than prime ronaldo nazario/neymar/mbappe.
1. Baggio/laudrupEveryone else
>>142948481>baggio was still a phenomenon.You can be technically gifted but if you deliver nothing and spend half of your career injured, you can't be rated as Baggio is. It is the same case with Magico Gonzalez who was technically more gifted than Baggio but was all the time doing drugs and partying and stayed most of his career in Cadiz were the stakes were low
>>142948488well, baggio single handed took italy (if you look at the lineup, a team of shitters including the coach) to the final lost against brasil, and he won a ballon d’or back when it used to mean something.
>>142948501*single handedly
>>142948501>single handed took italyItaly needed refball and easy matches (Nigeria, Spain, Bulgaria) to even reach the final. That team just parked the bus and relied on lucky counters and blooters, it was awful to watch and I don't understand how it became so romanticized
>>142948523ok, who cares. i wont call you a schizo just because you happen to be a del piero enjoyer. maybe a based schizo.
>>142948537>ok, who caresIt is important to put things into context to actually judge things. If you put Baggio as a top Italian player because of the 1994 run you have to know that the Italian team needed refball to even pass the QFs
>>142948565Just like Spain did these euros :)
>>142948680Keep coping, it wasn't a penalti and it got preceded by an offside and a handball
He is the best italian player ever but he was cancelled using the penalty as an excuse, the real reason is that he converted to buddhism
>>142948794>the real reason is that he converted to reddit the religion
It does not have anything to do with how he was a good football player
>>142948794He's a Buddhist who hunt and kill animals. He's as much of a Buddhist as Netanyahu
>>142948806No one even knows roberreddit Baggio converted to Buddhism. That is just an schizo excuse to justify a very mediocre career packed with shit seasons and injuries. Literally the italian version of Magico Gonzalez
>>142948818except italian media that decide to shit on him
I'm not old enough of a boomer to see him play but his career seems to have lots of instances of bad injuries followed by him getting replaced by a player that completely outshone him
>>142948523a lot of it has to do with winning two matches with 10 men. first vs norway, played almost the whole match with 10 men. then zola got sent off for absolutley nothing when they were already a goal down. that was one of the saddest moments in football, zola wanted to cry. turning that match around was really one of the best feelings ever.
>>142948501what? the team was very good, you the core of the milan team that was the best in europe. vialli was missing for some dumb reason, but the team was still very good.
>>142948450>muh giuve biasmost people consider Buffon the goat and he is associated to juventus even more than Del Piero.
>>142948986anon who the fuck are these people (on top of that coached by ack riggo sacked whose career proved him to be eternal laughing stock for all following italian generations) only baggio was good, and baresi and madini were just cbs btw sorry for the refball in the euros croatbro we never deserved to play the ro16 the name you are looking for is beppe marmota
>>142949061almost every player on that team won european club titles.
>>142949061>who the fuck are these peopleA zoomer would say the same about this team that reached a CL final and was a great team, you not knowing them doesn't mean that they were shit. Dinno Baggio had a very good WC for example
>>142949061Baggio wasnt even the best Baggio of that team
>>142949102But troubles if you say that
i don't think i've ever seen a Roberto Baggio highlights reel. maybe one doesn't exist. all we see is the penalty miss; maybe he's just unlucky that his best years were before there was much TV coverage
>>142945881>still haunts himSacchi and Biaggio are the only people left who still think about that final i feel like. People moved on after Berlin.
>>142947908>i can't like this thing because it's redditwhat a fucking pussy lmao
>>142948450Glad to hear that, I always liked del piero for the name and cause he looked like a good person handsome instead of bad person handsome, if you know what I mean.Didn't know he was that good.
