I was a kid a that time. On the other side of the pitch, supporting Italy. Your team was really strong in the world cup and played much better than us. I still remember his shot at the 90'. Slowly going to the goal. In that precise moment I felt as happy as I never was before (and rarely after). Because when you are a kid you really feel something pure and innocent. I really love what you wrote, because it is the mirror of two kids of the same age watching the same match but on a different side.

I've seen other #10 boss a world cup like Baggio and Maradona. Pele did it. I have seen an amazing player, who wore #7 boss a world cup like Maradona, Baggio and Pele: Garrincha!

One of the best dribblers of all time. When he was fit, he could do everything and had all the skill and pace too. He went by players like they were invisible and scored some memorable goals even towards the end of his career. His goal against Van de Sar/Juventus after coming back from injury showed that, form is temporarily, class is permanent.
Baggio was the only player that made people cheer for his goals even when he was playing for another team. I think the reason is “art belongs to everyone”.
Doing this after a reconstructed Acl in the 80s, having done both my acl ligaments and knowing how rudimentary acl reconstructions were in the 80s I’m simply amazed.... can only dream how good he would have been without his injury you are never the same after major knee surgery like this and yet when you look at the way he played... wow!
The problem is that most people don’t even realize how amazing he was even after a horrific injury. Here in Brasil (and I think that the rest of the world says the same thing) we say that he only had one knee, one to help him drible and score goals and the other to get on the bus lol
There is hardly any usable footage of Meazza, but, boy, does that guy have an absurd legend. Descriptions of him pretty much don't make sense. Like, for instance, he is both A) described as being one of the best ever at receiving the ball in his own half, then dribbling past everyone, including dribbling past the goalie...and B) having such absurd bicycle kick skills that he would score them on consecutive games, and even once CAUGHT a pass with a bicycle pass, as in, the ball stuck to his foot from top of arc down to the ground. At least one old Italian guy said Baggio was more electric, but that Meazza was the most elegant player ever. Meazza almost had to have a foot amputation because the rules were even laxer back then, he was SO heavily "defended". Baggio was probably the faster runner, Meazza the more agile and trickier.
The perfectly timed run, the pinpoint ball from Pirlo and the intended killer touch without braking stride 🤯 AGAINST THAT JUVE!!! The Van Basten volley is up there but this.. was just simply BAGGIO #Divine👌🏽
And please remember that he played his whole career with maybe only 50% of his capabilities due to his horrific injury when he played for Lanerossi Vicenza
@@goku445 sure thing, watch footage of his knee. I'll guarantee you he was above beeing good. He was from another planet. One one level with Zidane, Ronaldinho and Kakà
He was always going to have that knee problem due to the way he ran, though. Same with Gullit, Aimar and Ronaldo. I hated that era because every time a player started showing pace along with skills, they blew a knee to hell early in their career. Wasn't until the mid-00s that teams started taking joint alignment training seriously.
And he played against the toughest defense in the world, the ball control at 4:22 is just out of this world. Just Pure crystalline talent. Thank you Roby
It's hard to compare generations and we have to admit that Messi's numbers are ridiculous! However, Baggio was my all time favorite player, this video is fantastic but it's impossible to show this man's true quality with a 5min clip. The way he influenced games was just unbelievable. Amazing player and a great man!
GugasChannel Messi didn’t suffer injuries as severe as Baggio but he gets injured very frequently as well. All good dribblers, they are easy to get hurt because defenders tackle them harder and more often.
Most of Messi's numbers are against weak teams , like Zaragoza, Córdoba, Real Betis...The Italian League in 90's were the hardest tournment at the time
As a Mexican American boy, I actually grew up playing basketball.. idolizing Michael Jordan, never played futbol but my dad played most of his life.. I would go watch him all the time. Never even thought to play the game myself… in 94 I was 8 years old and was watching the World Cup for the first time… Baggio came onto the screen with his swag, pony tail.. I was hooked, I watched him play… his movements, his technique… I was glued to the TV watching his every move. I fell in love with the game… I immediately told my dad I didn’t want to play basketball anymore, and wanted to try to play futbol… I was a natural.. that summer ended in heartbreak obviously with the missed penalty but Baggio will forever hold a special place in my heart.. my favorite player of all time, the greatest for me.. he needs to be mentioned more among the best to ever play the game. He’s deserving. 🐐
@rimphyd that is true. While he is my favorite player and he was a great inspiration to watch, after '94 he was "Baggio who lost the penalty". It followed him everywhere. I almost pitied him after that.
Serie A was so saturated of talents that basically everyone that period was underrated..championships now lost charisma everywhere that s why Messi and Cristiano shine much more..Football was much better back then
Neither were remotely under-rated when they played or afterwards. It was globally recognized when they were both playing that they were among the best ever, and would be for a long time.
Baggio honestly saying throughout 90s he destroyed players for fun awesome player my favourite italian player most skillful player I ever seen on live tv channel 4 those were the days italian football no.1
Baggio was my favorite player growing up, saw him play in the 94' world cup quarter final at Foxboro stadium when I was 10 years old. I spent many days alone with the ball and he was the inspiration.
Baggio was for me, the most amazing non-brazilian player that i saw! My favorite international player. His skills and elegance, and hability with speed, are amazing. Is sad that here in Brazil and another parts of world, he is just remembered by the penalty that lost in the world cup 94. Is underrated by this and by the shining Romario's moment in 94. Your reserved personality was a ''problem'' for this too. The best italian football star ever!
@@DanielSuarez-jq6tl pessi lessi is shit hi If was born 20 years bifore his birth hi wodnt be fotbalist , playing against Baresi Maldini Nesta Costacurta Thuram Dessally Veira etc and etc ithen penaldo ofsaido will make 10 goals per year
Even with all his physical issues he managed to win the Ballon d'or, reach a world cup final and be the best Italian player ever and one of the best in history. No player today, except for Messi, can even dream to have a fraction of his talent.
I remember when he was playing: every sunday I was waiting for the highlights of the serie A on tv just to see what marvellous play would have come from Baggio. It was a show to watch him play
not many players nowadays have the tenacity and cojones to dribble the goal keeper... Baggio used to do it as a walk in the park. was lucky enough to see him play once. true champion, on and off the pitch. most likely the best player Italy ever had, and it will take years before another player comes close to his skills in Italy. Yes there were Totti, Del Piero, who also won more trophies than him... but I dont believe anyone came close to Baggio as far as technical skills and beauty of play go. All this despite his uncountable injuries.
Baggio is absolutely the best Italian footballer ever! I always enjoy watching him dribbling and scoring gorgeous goals, he’s like a poet on the soccer pitch!
I was born in 82 so you know who I grew up watching, baggio was my favorite. Romario, van basten, gullet, muller, klingsman, maradona, batistuta, Bergkamp and so many more, the world has continued to produce so many great players, y'all should catch some of those old matches back then.
He's just sublime. Without the terrible injuries to his knee early in his career he would have been the Messi of his era. Most underrated player in history. Divine!
@@daveneo3580 Del Piero for me was the best of that time, I use to watch Gazetta football italia every Saturday morning on channel 4, i am from Dublin. After about a year of pleading with my mother she bought me the Juventus shirt with Danone as the sponsor, the shirt had bobbles and was not in great condition. Rest in peace to my mother she made me the happest boy in the world with that shirt:D
Antognoni the two Mazzola Rivera Giannini Matteoli Mancini Beccalossi Meazza leaving the L least known but still world class Di canio Carbone Morfeo Locatelli ( Bologna) We had loads of number 10’s
Baggio was just a pure joy to watch at early to late 90s, he was a pure football talent. No muscle or rigorous training and can score all kinds of goals you could imagine
the kids of today realy have no clue about the great players of old Baggio hands down was the best player i seen play in my lifetime. and i was lucky enough to see him play in the flesh back when he played for juventus in the 1993 1994 season against AC milan and he destroyed them that day. even so the milan fans cheered him. im 48 now and ive seen the best players over the years but baggio stands out. and to think he played with the injuries he had to his knee. the man was majestical b4 we had R9 ripping up defenders we had baggio doing it. what a player he was the devine ponytail no 10 LEGEND
We need to stop hyping the injury stories as the clubs patched him up for years to allow him to perform at his best - even though he paid the price in the end. #magicalplayer
@@beejj6190 'club patched him up?' No, an orthopedic surgeon operated on his knees with an artifical replacement. He also would have been on medication too and months of physical therapy to relearn how to walk. After any major operation involving knees or ankles, the capacity to make full use of the knee or ankles is diminished. That is a medical fact. Don't they teach biology in school anymore?
@@jakeywilliams or Jokey ? Do you honestly think a guy with genuinely screwed knees *could perform at the A+ physical, footballing level of Baggio for over TEN years* ?? If you do (which would be pretty mental) you might as well say a 100% Baggio would have made e.g R9 / Pele / Messi look like children - which is just pathetic , ROFL! Yes, he went through serious surgery (not quite as dramatic as your take), but it's obvious his teams did whatever they had to *to allow him to feel near 100% on a pitch* ! Don't make a fool of yourself with your subjective 'cool story' belief system. Jeez... bet you still wear a mask to 'keep safe' out there... ; )
@@beejj6190 You're an ignoramous! I advise you choose your words carefully. My brother almost lost his life from covid-19 after spending a month in hospital of which 23 days was in a coma. Healthy young and non smoker. My wife's brother is a senior doctor so he got involved in helping my brother. No i don't wear a mask unless I'm with a vulnerable person. Something you densentized people would fail to understand.
@@beejj6190 if you read my comment, it is a general consensus of those who underwent major surgery to their knees or ankles. There is always a reduction in functionality. However, in case of Baggio, the club would have spent money considerable money on getting him the best orthopaedic specialists available with input from Baggio himself for recovery. Discipline. He is also an incredible talent which helped him overcome whatever disadvantage that he faced. But no way would he be 100% as he was before the operations. You can personally consult an orthopaedic surgeon for their professional opinion for your own satisfaction.
Baggio is certainly the greatest Italian footballer of all time. Still my one and only favorite footballer of Italy. Love and respect for the legend from Bangladesh.
Same can be said about a Maradona without drugs and alcohol, R9 without injuries or Van Basten without injuries. I think the first one I mentioned still managed to be the best despite all that.
Is he better than Messi? He was playing mostly with one knee so it is legit to say he is at Messi level and can be forgiven if one say he is better than Messi given two healthy knees. He was also playing against legendary defenders like Maldini, Thuram, Baresi, cannaravo, Nesta on a set of rules that was not giving adequate protection to players like Baggio, Maradona etc. Maradona and Baggio were most of time dribbling pass career ending tackles to win games.
Nicholas Alexander when I was a boy, the first player I heard of was Baggio. My coaches jokingly called me Baggio. Not knowing who he was. then I found some pictures of him in a soccer skills book I bought once. But yes he is a genius. “Forza Il Codino Divino”
@@loicn.5882 Different positions and styles. R9 is the greatest striker, and for me, Baggio the best trequartista. Obviously when it comes to pace, strength and heading R9 was better, but then Baggio had the edge with his passing, playmaking and set pieces. They were both exceptional dribblers, finishers and very unpredictable - unlike Messi, who is devastating, but he often makes the same plays. Personally I prefer Baggio, he was so elegant. I don't think that I've seen a player dump as many opponents (particularly keepers) on their backsides with as much trickery as him
Messi smokes both their arses. He plays as the Enganche (Argentina version of the number 10) or Trequartista as you’ve mentioned or fantasista for the Italian version and as a number 9. Even if you put R9 (who is my favorite player after Messi) and Baggio’s numbers together, they still don’t compare.
@@joKer7507 The different era's have a huge bearing on the numbers. During Baggio and Ronaldo's time. Teams were nowhere near as open as they are today, coaches were far more pragmatic (especially in Serie A), there were far more quality central defenders - who were allowed to get away with 'robust behaviour' - the challenge from behind hadn't been outlawed. Then there are the many benefits that today's players have - far superior pitches, advances in surgery and physiotherapy, diets. I would also argue that in Iniesta, Xavi, Modric, Kroos etc CR7 and Messi have enjoyed better service than what Baggio and Ronaldo ever had. You also have to take into account the crippling injuries that plagued Baggio from the age of 18 onwards and things were hardly any better for Ronaldo in this regard. A fully fit, injury free Baggio and Ronaldo would have thrived in today's game. Don't get me wrong, I'm huge fan of Messi. His consistency, effectiveness and skill levels are off the charts. I am not saying that Baggio/Ronaldo are better, it's just that I preferred watching those two to Messi.
I have never seen a collection of the best goals of a player with 36 pearls .... maybe others have scored more but no one, neither c . ronaldo nor messi or maradona(the number 1 ever ), has made all these quality goals . for me he is one of the 5 best players ever . a legend
The relationship with the ball he has is insane, he is vastly infront of it, almost dragging it or chasing it so far ahead as his pace dictates this style, and never static with it, injecting a burst into the whole team like a shot of adrenaline. The greatest, period.
The football gods didn’t allow that coz that would’ve been way too OP. Similarly with Totti. Imagine Totti, Baggio, Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo and Raul in the same team
3:11 wtf !!! He just passed the ball to himself beat 4 defenders plus the goalkeeper and scored the goal in the process.☠️☠️ First time I searched for Baggio. He is the real deal. Pd: at the time were the Serie A was the best league in the world. 🤫🤫🤫
Para mi el jugador q más me inspiró pasión x el fútbol, un maestro en un país y una época donde era casi imposible brillar, x eso y más, el jugador más carismático y completo, sin escándalos en su vida personal y profesional. The best Robby Baggio¡¡¡
The melancholic drum and base tune fits the legendary status of this incredible champion and man I’d make my son watch his movie to inspire him and learn that in life you never give up !!!
Goat status....one of the most gifted players , alongside with Maradona. 7 major injuries and he still managed to be one of the greatest of all time...unbelivalble..
I think Baggio at the peak of his power's was capable of things no other could do with a football and even today there's no one like him. He was pure magic Baggio
@@jhonybraavo Yes, laugh as much as you want but Baggio had to face the world's best defences in the Serie A week-in-week-out with constant knee pain with little protection from referees in those days. Messi was cocooned from all that in La Liga with sub-standard defending and heavy protection from referees, particularly when Barcelona played in Europe.
Emiro Miranda first the one to one with Giannini he knew the prince would have provided the through pass that would have launched him through the heart of the Czech defence ... the rest is history... Baggio oh yes oh yes ooohh yes oooh yesssss ....what a goal from Baggiooooo
My favorite player growing up... I was lucky to see him play I'm the 1994 WC semifinal game! To this day the most insane and iconic sporting event I've been to!
I’ve his goal compilation. His best goals are very similar to R9 trademark (rounding the GK even on tight angle) and Messi (dribbling in small space crowded with defenders). Baggio and R9 they have proved themselves even without reaching their full potential due to injuries.

He went by players like they were invisible and scored some memorable goals even towards the end of his career. His goal against Van de Sar/Juventus after coming back from injury showed that, form is temporarily, class is permanent.
Il più grande giocatore italiano di tutti i tempi ed uno dei primi 5 al mondo. Senza timore di essere smentito.

Doing this after a reconstructed Acl in the 80s, having done both my acl ligaments and knowing how rudimentary acl reconstructions were in the 80s I’m simply amazed.... can only dream how good he would have been without his injury you are never the same after major knee surgery like this and yet when you look at the way he played... wow!
The problem is that most people don’t even realize how amazing he was even after a horrific injury. Here in Brasil (and I think that the rest of the world says the same thing) we say that he only had one knee, one to help him drible and score goals and the other to get on the bus lol

Greatest Italian player ever. What an absolute legend, such a shame we don't have any player like him anymore!
Maldini was awesome to in my opinion
But we have Immobile!! Lolol
DEL PIERO HAS BEEN BETTER THAN HIM.. AND LA TRIADE SOLD BAGGIO TO AC MILAN, REPLACING HIM WITH A 20 YO DEL PIERO
Francesco Totti is the better italian player of all time
There is hardly any usable footage of Meazza, but, boy, does that guy have an absurd legend. Descriptions of him pretty much don't make sense. Like, for instance, he is both A) described as being one of the best ever at receiving the ball in his own half, then dribbling past everyone, including dribbling past the goalie...and B) having such absurd bicycle kick skills that he would score them on consecutive games, and even once CAUGHT a pass with a bicycle pass, as in, the ball stuck to his foot from top of arc down to the ground. At least one old Italian guy said Baggio was more electric, but that Meazza was the most elegant player ever. Meazza almost had to have a foot amputation because the rules were even laxer back then, he was SO heavily "defended". Baggio was probably the faster runner, Meazza the more agile and trickier.
4:21 the greatest goal of all time
Not at all
The perfectly timed run, the pinpoint ball from Pirlo and the intended killer touch without braking stride 🤯 AGAINST THAT JUVE!!!
The Van Basten volley is up there but this.. was just simply BAGGIO #Divine👌🏽
Get a grip
No I can never get past 1990 against Czechs...it looked like Brazil in 1970...I think it was his world cup debut as sub
Agaunst Juventus . Even Zidane got e football lesson that day
He's the best Italian player ever for a reason. As a Roma fan, sure, I love Totti, but there's no way anyone can come close to Baggio's level.
And please remember that he played his whole career with maybe only 50% of his capabilities due to his horrific injury when he played for Lanerossi Vicenza
Il divin codino era il vero chaaamp
come on, 50%? you can't play pro at 50%.

@@shannonbriggs4102 I'm not arguing about Baggio being good...
forgive my ignorance is this the Shannon Briggs who was the WBO title holder?
Magnificent player. Such a shame his career was plagued by injuries. He could’ve achieved even more.
He was always going to have that knee problem due to the way he ran, though. Same with Gullit, Aimar and Ronaldo. I hated that era because every time a player started showing pace along with skills, they blew a knee to hell early in their career. Wasn't until the mid-00s that teams started taking joint alignment training seriously.
And he played against the toughest defense in the world, the ball control at 4:22 is just out of this world. Just Pure crystalline talent. Thank you Roby
Also that assist… he was Andrea Pirlo
Baggio was a player at the crossroads of football trends, one of a kind.
It's hard to compare generations and we have to admit that Messi's numbers are ridiculous! However, Baggio was my all time favorite player, this video is fantastic but it's impossible to show this man's true quality with a 5min clip. The way he influenced games was just unbelievable. Amazing player and a great man!
Messi didn't have big amount (and severity of injuries) that Baggio had. Oh and Baggio was against beasts such as Baresi Maldini etc
GugasChannel
Messi didn’t suffer injuries as severe as Baggio but he gets injured very frequently as well. All good dribblers, they are easy to get hurt because defenders tackle them harder and more often.
I think its not good look inleg the numbers i think you must look hoe many chances they need tot scoor
Most of Messi's numbers are against weak teams , like Zaragoza, Córdoba, Real Betis...The Italian League in 90's were the hardest tournment at the time
@@guilherme_v0 exactly
As a Mexican American boy, I actually grew up playing basketball.. idolizing Michael Jordan, never played futbol but my dad played most of his life.. I would go watch him all the time. Never even thought to play the game myself… in 94 I was 8 years old and was watching the World Cup for the first time… Baggio came onto the screen with his swag, pony tail.. I was hooked, I watched him play… his movements, his technique… I was glued to the TV watching his every move. I fell in love with the game… I immediately told my dad I didn’t want to play basketball anymore, and wanted to try to play futbol… I was a natural.. that summer ended in heartbreak obviously with the missed penalty but Baggio will forever hold a special place in my heart.. my favorite player of all time, the greatest for me.. he needs to be mentioned more among the best to ever play the game. He’s deserving. 🐐
If Baggio didn't miss his penalty against Braszil in the 1994 world cup he would have been one of the top 5 players ever in the world now!
Even if he had scored the penalty italy keeper had to save the next penalty to stay in the match.
I dont think he needs that fame
He did miss and so would have Messi cruff there 2 that wouldn’t have called maradona and pele
@rimphyd that is true. While he is my favorite player and he was a great inspiration to watch, after '94 he was "Baggio who lost the penalty". It followed him everywhere. I almost pitied him after that.
@rimphyd he was a beast , but not the GOAT. if he is truly GOAT his mentality should not be like that dude. the one and only GOAT is R9 Phenomeno!
Romario and Baggio ,two magicians criminally underrated , world class talents .
Serie A was so saturated of talents that basically everyone that period was underrated..championships now lost charisma everywhere that s why Messi and Cristiano shine much more..Football was much better back then
Neither were remotely under-rated when they played or afterwards. It was globally recognized when they were both playing that they were among the best ever, and would be for a long time.
Grandissimo calciatore, uomo, professionista. Sono stato fortunato a vederlo all opera.
Baggio honestly saying throughout 90s he destroyed players for fun awesome player my favourite italian player most skillful player I ever seen on live tv channel 4 those were the days italian football no.1
He was amazing. My idol. Big respect from Turkey
Baggio was my favorite player growing up, saw him play in the 94' world cup quarter final at Foxboro stadium when I was 10 years old. I spent many days alone with the ball and he was the inspiration.
absolute monster
my favorite player ever
Baggio was for me, the most amazing non-brazilian player that i saw! My favorite international player. His skills and elegance, and hability with speed, are amazing. Is sad that here in Brazil and another parts of world, he is just remembered by the penalty that lost in the world cup 94. Is underrated by this and by the shining Romario's moment in 94. Your reserved personality was a ''problem'' for this too. The best italian football star ever!

No player today, except for Messi, can even dream to have a fraction of his talent.
ITALIAN MARADONA. ( The very best Italian footballer by FAR!)
At that time, Italy was the center of football. One of the kings of this game.
Possibly the best footballer I've ever seen. Superb.
Exactly. I see only maradona compared to him
I remember when he was playing: every sunday I was waiting for the highlights of the serie A on tv just to see what marvellous play would have come from Baggio. It was a show to watch him play
90 minuto con Galeazzi
Without the injuries 100%, Baggio would have been top 5 all time. Easy
not many players nowadays have the tenacity and cojones to dribble the goal keeper... Baggio used to do it as a walk in the park. was lucky enough to see him play once. true champion, on and off the pitch. most likely the best player Italy ever had, and it will take years before another player comes close to his skills in Italy. Yes there were Totti, Del Piero, who also won more trophies than him... but I dont believe anyone came close to Baggio as far as technical skills and beauty of play go. All this despite his uncountable injuries.
Baggio is absolutely the best Italian footballer ever! I always enjoy watching him dribbling and scoring gorgeous goals, he’s like a poet on the soccer pitch!
I was born in 82 so you know who I grew up watching, baggio was my favorite. Romario, van basten, gullet, muller, klingsman, maradona, batistuta, Bergkamp and so many more, the world has continued to produce so many great players, y'all should catch some of those old matches back then.
Baggio is the GOAT!! Played his entire career with a serious knee injury. He played in an era when footballers were MEN!!!
This legend played with a metal screw in his right friggin knee!!!
He's just sublime. Without the terrible injuries to his knee early in his career he would have been the Messi of his era. Most underrated player in history. Divine!

Best '10' Italy has ever produced and that's saying something for a country that's brought us Pirlo and Totti.

There’s not even a rank for Baggio
The greatest of them all the Devine one sent by God, the king of King's R.Baggio ☝️😍👑🔝🔝🔝🐐 THE ONE AND ONLY 👑
Baggio was just a pure joy to watch at early to late 90s, he was a pure football talent. No muscle or rigorous training and can score all kinds of goals you could imagine
the kids of today realy have no clue about the great players of old Baggio hands down was the best player i seen play in my lifetime. and i was lucky enough to see him play in the flesh back when he played for juventus in the 1993 1994 season against AC milan and he destroyed them that day. even so the milan fans cheered him. im 48 now and ive seen the best players over the years but baggio stands out. and to think he played with the injuries he had to his knee. the man was majestical b4 we had R9 ripping up defenders we had baggio doing it. what a player he was the devine ponytail no 10 LEGEND
We need to stop hyping the injury stories as the clubs patched him up for years to allow him to perform at his best - even though he paid the price in the end. #magicalplayer
@@beejj6190 'club patched him up?' No, an orthopedic surgeon operated on his knees with an artifical replacement. He also would have been on medication too and months of physical therapy to relearn how to walk. After any major operation involving knees or ankles, the capacity to make full use of the knee or ankles is diminished. That is a medical fact. Don't they teach biology in school anymore?
@@jakeywilliams or Jokey ? Do you honestly think a guy with genuinely screwed knees *could perform at the A+ physical, footballing level of Baggio for over TEN years* ?? If you do (which would be pretty mental) you might as well say a 100% Baggio would have made e.g R9 / Pele / Messi look like children - which is just pathetic , ROFL!
Yes, he went through serious surgery (not quite as dramatic as your take), but it's obvious his teams did whatever they had to *to allow him to feel near 100% on a pitch* ! Don't make a fool of yourself with your subjective 'cool story' belief system. Jeez... bet you still wear a mask to 'keep safe' out there... ; )
@@beejj6190 You're an ignoramous! I advise you choose your words carefully. My brother almost lost his life from covid-19 after spending a month in hospital of which 23 days was in a coma. Healthy young and non smoker. My wife's brother is a senior doctor so he got involved in helping my brother. No i don't wear a mask unless I'm with a vulnerable person. Something you densentized people would fail to understand.
@@beejj6190 if you read my comment, it is a general consensus of those who underwent major surgery to their knees or ankles. There is always a reduction in functionality. However, in case of Baggio, the club would have spent money considerable money on getting him the best orthopaedic specialists available with input from Baggio himself for recovery. Discipline. He is also an incredible talent which helped him overcome whatever disadvantage that he faced. But no way would he be 100% as he was before the operations. You can personally consult an orthopaedic surgeon for their professional opinion for your own satisfaction.
Pure technical skill
Baggio is certainly the greatest Italian footballer of all time. Still my one and only favorite footballer of Italy. Love and respect for the legend from Bangladesh.

@@sunseeker9581 maradona is argentinian

It still is!!
Same can be said about a Maradona without drugs and alcohol, R9 without injuries or Van Basten without injuries. I think the first one I mentioned still managed to be the best despite all that.
He already is
@@Nenodom Maradona and R9 are both all time great football players, Maradona is even the greatest of all time.
@@madara4665 yes I agree.
Cuánta técnica y clase de Roberto Baggio. lastima que no fue de mi época. Fantástico jugador.
Is he better than Messi? He was playing mostly with one knee so it is legit to say he is at Messi level and can be forgiven if one say he is better than Messi given two healthy knees. He was also playing against legendary defenders like Maldini, Thuram, Baresi, cannaravo, Nesta on a set of rules that was not giving adequate protection to players like Baggio, Maradona etc. Maradona and Baggio were most of time dribbling pass career ending tackles to win games.
Simply, the most talented player I've ever seen playing the beautiful game.
he's nothing short of great. but that would be ronaldinho.
One of them along with Ronaldinho but messi is number one for me.
Baggio is more than football to me...he's an inspiration through trial
Nicholas Alexander when I was a boy, the first player I heard of was Baggio. My coaches jokingly called me Baggio. Not knowing who he was. then I found some pictures of him in a soccer skills book I bought once. But yes he is a genius. “Forza Il Codino Divino”
Well said brother, in my eyes he is the number...by far!
Watch his story on Netflix
He surely ranks in the top 10 of the most talented players ever. Pure class
Just watching the first minute with little serious expectations and he is clearly top 4 to me, just incredible.
One of the greatest footballer of all time... Very skillful with lots of power
I remember watching him playing for Inter Milan in 1999. He was the beast.
Almost forgot how good he was. Amazing goals so skillfull
The reason "the best" talk robs many of the respect they deserve, Roberto was a marvel to watch
Purtroppo non ho mai visto giocare Baggio, ma nonostante ciò è uno dei miei giocatori preferiti e secondo me è il calciatore più forte di sempre.
if he hasn't met injuries usualy in the career, he is totaly become the best legend in the world
R9 yes...
@@loicn.5882 Different positions and styles. R9 is the greatest striker, and for me, Baggio the best trequartista. Obviously when it comes to pace, strength and heading R9 was better, but then Baggio had the edge with his passing, playmaking and set pieces. They were both exceptional dribblers, finishers and very unpredictable - unlike Messi, who is devastating, but he often makes the same plays. Personally I prefer Baggio, he was so elegant. I don't think that I've seen a player dump as many opponents (particularly keepers) on their backsides with as much trickery as him
Messi smokes both their arses. He plays as the Enganche (Argentina version of the number 10) or Trequartista as you’ve mentioned or fantasista for the Italian version and as a number 9. Even if you put R9 (who is my favorite player after Messi) and Baggio’s numbers together, they still don’t compare.
@@joKer7507 The different era's have a huge bearing on the numbers. During Baggio and Ronaldo's time. Teams were nowhere near as open as they are today, coaches were far more pragmatic (especially in Serie A), there were far more quality central defenders - who were allowed to get away with 'robust behaviour' - the challenge from behind hadn't been outlawed. Then there are the many benefits that today's players have - far superior pitches, advances in surgery and physiotherapy, diets. I would also argue that in Iniesta, Xavi, Modric, Kroos etc CR7 and Messi have enjoyed better service than what Baggio and Ronaldo ever had. You also have to take into account the crippling injuries that plagued Baggio from the age of 18 onwards and things were hardly any better for Ronaldo in this regard. A fully fit, injury free Baggio and Ronaldo would have thrived in today's game.
Don't get me wrong, I'm huge fan of Messi. His consistency, effectiveness and skill levels are off the charts. I am not saying that Baggio/Ronaldo are better, it's just that I preferred watching those two to Messi.
I have never seen a collection of the best goals of a player with 36 pearls .... maybe others have scored more but no one, neither c . ronaldo nor messi or maradona(the number 1 ever ), has made all these quality goals
. for me he is one of the 5 best players ever . a legend
The relationship with the ball he has is insane, he is vastly infront of it, almost dragging it or chasing it so far ahead as his pace dictates this style, and never static with it, injecting a burst into the whole team like a shot of adrenaline. The greatest, period.
My favourite player, I always wished him to play for Real Madrid, it would have been amazing.
The football gods didn’t allow that coz that would’ve been way too OP.
Similarly with Totti. Imagine Totti, Baggio, Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo and Raul in the same team
@@sidvyas8549 We would need Maldini, Baresi, Nesta, Franz Beckenbauer, Cannavaro, Chiellini, Ramos, Puyol, Kompany, Stam and Vidic.

Roberto Baggio is a killer having such a wonderful dribbling.
I’ve his goal compilation. His best goals are very similar to R9 trademark (rounding the GK even on tight angle) and Messi (dribbling in small space crowded with defenders).
Baggio and R9 they have proved themselves even without reaching their full potential due to injuries.
He looks like he's on 1.75 of speed.
