Roberto Baggio is a two-time Serie A winner and a UEFA Cup winner.

In 1993, he won the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or!

He played in three World Cups, scored nine goals, and helped Italy to a third-place finish in the 1990 World Cup and a runner-up finish in the 1994 World Cup.

Among them, in the final against Brazil in 1994, Baggio missed a key penalty and watched Brazil lift the Hercules Cup.

His lonely back made countless fans sad.

But it is precisely this scene that makes people feel the beauty of regret, and Baggio has become an eternal legend.

This year, Mateus also lost in front of Brazil, and the runner-up finish reminded people of Baggio.

As a result, Mateus's historical status has risen instead of falling, equaling Maradona.

What does this Baggio mean when he joins Manchester City?

Don't...... He also wants to raise his historical status in the last year or two before the end of his career?

After all, Mateus has repeatedly mentioned Deng Kai's achievements to him in both of his retirement ceremonies.

In his words: "I never wanted to join Sporting Lisbon, forgive me, I really didn't look down on this kind of Portuguese Super League team at the time! But when Deng Kai told me, join Sporting Lisbon and make a name for yourself! ”

"Yes, in the beginning, I just wanted to prove myself. I just want to let you know that I wasn't at fault for Germany's heavy defeat at Euro 2000! I shouldn't be a sinner, every player who plays shouldn't be a sinner. ”

"However, I never dreamed that Deng Kai would lead me to lift eight trophies in two years! That even includes a Champions League and a UEFA Cup! ”

"Damn it! I would advise all the old guys at the end of their careers to go to Zuo Deng Kai, because you will definitely gain more than you would have wanted! ”

"He's like a cheater that has risen to the top of history!"

Of course, that's not enough.

The second reason Baggio joined Manchester City was Pep Guardiola.

Baggio is Guardiola's idol.

When Deng Kai persuaded Guardiola to join Sporting Lisbon, Guardiola wanted to join Brescia, where Baggio is located.

Guardiola has even contacted Baggio and said idol, I'm here to help you!

Outcome......

Just ask if you're embarrassed.

But Guardiola never imagined that Baggio would contact him regardless of his previous suspicions and ask about Deng Kai's relevant news.

Pep Guardiola heard what Baggio meant at that time, and immediately fanned the flames and invited Baggio to join Manchester City.

"Deng Kai welcomes Baggio to join: no matter how many years have passed, you will always be the melancholy prince in our hearts!" 》

Pep Guardiola: This time, I can finally play with my idols! I love Baggio! 》

Even if it's a superstar in its twilight years, it's a superstar!

Especially for the Premier League, Serie A stars are inherently superior.

Because in the most despised years of the Premier League, Serie A was at the top of this chain of contempt.

Even if the current Premier League continues to boast that it has surpassed Serie A a lot.

But when they faced the Italian star, they couldn't help but show their timidity.

It can't be said that you can't stand up after kneeling for a long time.

Mainly...... After all, it is the memory of a generation.

The English media have reported on Baggio's arrival.

In terms of combat effectiveness, one would not think that the 35-year-old Baggio could make any big difference for Manchester City.

His role is not much greater than that of Robbie Fowler.

But in terms of influence, it's too important.

Manchester City are gradually starting to become the focus of the Premier League.

"Sky Sports" even opened a column in confusion, analyzing: "Why is only Manchester City able to frequently bring in superstars from Serie A and La Liga? ”

Manchester United are attractive, of course, but they are not very strong.

Otherwise, Batistuta and Totti would have come to the Premier League long ago.

Not to mention Arsenal, as the "second brother of the Premier League", the Serie A players who come to them are basically the losers of the Serie A competition.

Henry: I advise you to speak.

Why Manchester City?

Looking at the original Sporting Lisbon, the attraction of the Portuguese Super League is far less than that of the Premier League.

But Mateus, Pep Guardiola, Deschamps ......

The results are already clear.

Because of Deng Kai!

This is the only common factor between the two teams at the moment.

After all, you can't think it's Fonte, right?

With the addition of Baggio.

"Understanding the Ball" did an interview for him, in which Baggio also revealed the most important reason why he joined Manchester City.

Jiang Yunzhu: "Roberto, have you watched the games of your future teammates?" ”

Baggio: "Apart from the World Cup, the last game I watched was last season's Champions League final. ”

Jiang Yunzhu: "Oh my God, you are actually at the scene?" You must have been disguised at the time, and we didn't even have any news. ”

Baggio laughed: "Yes, I brought my family with me. ”

Jiang Yunzhu: "What was the most impressive scene in that game?" ”

Baggio: "The scene where Deng Kai missed the penalty. I remembered myself and really ......"

Jiang Yunzhu: "So you joined Manchester City, did you want to help your former self?" In a sense, is this self-redemption? ”

Baggio shook his head as he turned the camera to his jersey collection: "I have more jerseys from famous players, but my kids don't give a damn about them. ”

"That one, see? It's the one with the best location, and you can see it at a glance. ”

"It was won by my youngest son himself, in the Champions League final in May this year. Deng Kai saved Zinedine Zidane's penalty and dribbled out of the penalty area, and after completing the stunning, he threw his shirt into the stands. ”

"My son is the lucky one, I've never seen him so happy."

"As a father, I can't repay it. I can only express my gratitude to Deng Kai in this way...... Good...... You see, my son is urging me to ask for Deng Kai's autographed football again. ”

"He doesn't even worship me, the prince of melancholy, he only loves the king of Alvalade!"

A little boy's voice came from outside the camera: "No! Kay is now the King of Manchester! It's the emperor of the Premier League! ”

……

The addition of Baggio has huge publicity significance for the Premier League.

There is also a lot of anticipation for Manchester City's new season.

At least, emotionally, Manchester City is full.

Deng Kai: That's full?

"Hey, Peter...... Don't worry, I have absolutely no intention of blackmailing you...... I understand, you are doing well in Denmark, but Kasper ...... You know, he's been in a bit of a mood lately...... "Deng Kai is having a family with Schmeichel," have you watched the interview with Baggio? ”

Baggio said he had never seen his children so happy. Seriously, I don't think you saw the smile on Casper's face when he received the Manchester City academy director's contract. ”

"I've heard your criticism of Casper, you don't fancy his goalkeeper career, but ...... I think you should talk about it. ”
