How good was Roberto Baggio actually? #GOAT
New video about one of the most talked about players we've seen over the 90's in football. In this episode we take on Roberto Baggio who played for Juventus, Italy, AC Milan, Inter, Fiorentina and Brescia for most of his career.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE! As a way to start 2022, I decided to bring back a lost classic, now rebooted with more cool details about the career of the magical Roberto Baggio. The original was the video that blew up my channel and unfortunately it was blocked by youtube due to copyright issues when it was about to become my first to hit a million views... thankfully you made sure that by the end of the year a few others got to the iconic 1 Million. Thanks to all of you, 2021 was a year to remember for me, 93 thousand people decided to listen to me speak of football on a weekly basis... unbelievable, love you all, keep safe!
Happy new year DDOF=DAILY DOSE OF FOOTBALL and to everyone🤯🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
You should have used the same music 🎵 from the original video.
Great tribute to my all-time favourite player
It's disgusting that KZhead took down your previous Roberto Baggio video, but then this is how the platform now operates. They care more for politicians, corporations and celebrities than independent content creators such as yourself - the very people whom KZhead built their success on. I strongly recommend you mirror your content to other platforms such as Odysee. Superb video btw, very comprehensive. Did you know that Baggio recovered in record time from yet another cruciate knee ligament inury at the age of 35? He worked his ass off to be in contention for a place at the 2002 World Cup. He was still the best attacking player in Italy at the time and so it was extremely annoying that Trapattoni chose to ignore him. Despite having a great squad in 2002, particulary in defence and attack, the team itself was woeful and devoid of imagination. They only just scraped it out of the group, and while they were unlucky to go out to South Korea due to a crooked ref, if truth be told, they were never going to win while under Trapattoni's out-of-date, defensive tactics.
I'll make a simple,honest& straightforward comment about RB! When he was playing at the height of his ability..Week in&out doing some amazing&magical things for Juve,Milano and of course his National Team,this was being done,when he was facing seriously Hard tackles&many fouls of course,! And it may sound trivial,but the Ball was a lot harder&football Pitches /surfaces were not like u see now!! And yet Roberto Baggio would perform like a Master Technician and sometimes a Magician out there! And as much as I respect the Skills,ability and Genius of Messi and CR7, I could not see them doing what they do now,back then! Great players as the are,they both have benefitted from the points mentioned..
Baggio scores that penalty and Italy win that World cup he's a top 5 player all time. That's how fickle people are. If you put him up against any of the greats, his dribbling, control, free kicks, technique, football IQ, vision as well as combination of goalscoring and assisting and overall natural talent are as good as any number 10 ever. All this being injured his whole career. Phenomenal player.
He was a 10 and a 9 in the same player. That is the magic of Baggio.
What people forget is even if Baggio scored, Italy was still down a goal. Bebeto was up next and would have sealed it anyway.
If Baggio would have scored the penalty, Italy could still would of lost as the Brazilians had the last shot.
@@shimarin1647 yes with a high probability you are right!
@@ronbonora7872 if baggio took first penalty he might've scored it, perhaps different result...
"Since when Baggio retired it's not sunday anymore". He was one of the best italian palyer of all times, and this quote shows it.
Oh I love that quote and I knew about it, should have put it in the video...
Italy have become Brazil unwanted players, very soon Brazil vs Italy becomes Brazil vs Brazil
Baggio is definitely not as good as this video acts like
@@amsterdam7956 well he's considered by many as the greatest italian player ever, many experts consider him one of the greatest of all times so idk if he's overselling him
@@amsterdam7956 I am Italian and he as Matteo said he is considered as the best Italian ever. I would say Totti, but I am romanista 😁
We Nigerians that watched him in US 94 play against the best team that has ever represented us know how good he was. He single-handedly won the match for Italy.
He and zola
I remember Nigeria from 94 especially from the game with Argentina, Nigeria had so much talent and individual skills but zero tactical discipline, they were great to watch always playing happy football, Okocha and his dribling, Amunike, Okechuku, Yekini, that was great team, we were kids back then and tried to imitate them
@@markokarko but personally, I think Nigeria is the best African team after Egypt! Today's new FIFA ranking placed Nigeria on the third place under the African teams! I wish you all the best from Italy!❤🦾
Roberto Baggio is so special that he's beloved by everyone here in Italy, even if he played for all the biggest teams in our league. Personally, I had the privilege to see him in his finals year in my hometown Brescia. And it was magical, never saw another superstar on the pitch that was also unbelieveable humble in his normal life. Grazie di tutto Roberto!
Hagi, Pirlo, Baggio, Guardiola... Brescia sapeva il fatto suo...
and that goal on pirlo assist dude.. what the fuck! ma di che stiamo parlando uno dei miei goal preferiti di tutti i tempi
Same, I had the privilege to watch one of his last games at Brescia, when I was in Turin. It was Turin-Brescia and Baggio scored as well :)
@@UTJK. il brescia era davvero pericoloso
Loved in Croatia also. He is demigod of football. Imagine that he was protected from referes like messi and ronaldo
A tragic hero... He played with melancholy in his eyes and magic in his feet .... My humble tribute to the divine ponytail ... One of the best ever ... 🙏💜
I've travelled across Italy a lot over the past years. Here I've also managed to watch a lot of football with Italians. A lot of people actually still think of him as their favourite footballer ever in Italian football history. From Milano (Milan) to Firenze (Florence) a lot of people still see him as their icon.
No wonder man, he was awesome
Thanks dude I wouldn’t have known what city Milano was if you hadn’t put the translation next to it
Can you blame them?
@sebbjerre are you a cage the elephant fan?
@@jackfinnian2064 why you ask?
In the UK we were lucky to have Serie A games broadcast on Sundays in the early to late 90s, this was due to Italia 90 and David Platt moving to Bari, Juventus and Sampdoria + Paul Gascoigne moving to Lazio, we got to see so many wonderful things, that early 90s AC Milan team, Bastistuta at Florentina, Baggio, Parma doing awesome stuff and a seeing Buffon play for the first time as a 17 year old and George Weah running from his own 18 yard box to score! 90s serie A was amazing and Baggio was superb
Serie A 1989-1998 was the best and strongest league of time in Europe
right on man. Gollazo !!!
@@amardizz821 Campianato, di calcio, ITALIANOOOOOO
Yeah I still follow serie a to this day because of that show
If you watched Baggio closely, during his career. You were witness to something extraordinary. Watching Baggio play football is like watching Black Thought rap or watching Daniel Day Lewis act. It was absolutely masterful. One of the major reasons why, I'm still a football fan all these years later.
You spittin
Or Bruce Lee fighting.
Great comparisons
@@shuajoblake1166 Thank you 👍🏾
@@petervarone8462 More like Ali or Tyson.
What's even more fascinating is with this knee he played his whole career on the most reckless and toughest defensive era football even seen
Very true
The crazy thing about Baggio is that he wasn't theorically able to play that well with the injuries he had, but he played majestically anyways. There was something almost supernatural about him, so fragile yet so phenomenal. He was made of glass but played like he was made of diamond. That elegance, derived by his physical precariousness, made him a magical player to witness. He was so cautious at every move he did, so that he saw things other players couldn't, and made him one of the smartest players of all time. My dad worked at a restaurant in Florence in the early 90s and his boss was sokagakkai, which is the same buddhist "sept" Baggio was in, and they used to do meetings in the restaurant all the time, so my dad encountered Baggio many times while he played for Fiorentina. Even for his '94 World Cup miss, a very few people in Italy wouldn't think of him as the best italian player of all time.
what are you poetry in motion😂but well said
he was just diamond only , not glass , brittle like diamond but playstyle and shine also like diamond (diamond is hard but brittle , it can break kinda easily by hammering aswell)
He was devastating, and most of his coaches couldn't take him being THAT good. I've seen him play more than once and it was just poetry.
Baggio often lamented that it was only his first and last coaches that ever understood him (at Vincenza and Brescia). Everyone thought Carlo Mazzone was mad for bringing Baggio to Brescia, but in those last four seasons, we arguably saw the best a veteran has ever offered the sport in the modern age. Mazzone said this about him - "Roberto Baggio was the best Italian fantasista; he was better than Meazza and Boniperti, and he was amongst the greatest of all time, right behind Maradona, Pelé, and maybe Cruyff. Without the injury problems and the difficulties with his knees, he would have been the very best player in history."
Poet is the word, a true football poet, a beautiful player to watch for his entire career.
True. That's pretty accurate
Italy have become Brazil unwanted players, very soon Brazil vs Italy becomes Brazil vs Brazil
Some people are born unlucky, but they experience the beauty of life like no other. You can just see in Baggio's eyes, the honest person he is.
My football idol always... Never forget the 94 WC... It was my first and the beginning of my love for football... Baggio was the reason I played football... Hearing Zidane say what he said about Baggio was simply beautiful
Lies again? Rob Bank
He was my favorite player growing up, saw him play in the 94 World Cup Semifinals against Bulgaria, absolutely amazing experience...it was insanely unfortunate he missed that shot in the finals or else he'd be arguably one of the best ever
Absolutely he drag that Italian team all the way to the final, Baggio and Romario were 2 best players in that tournament.
Yes he was one of my favorite players as well
Alessandro del Piero is my favorite footballer. But Baggio as a symbol and icon is something else. It's an honour for del Piero to be even likened to him. Baggio's football is pure and he has an atypical personality, he made so many people fall in love with Italian football.
Baggio became world player of the year post not one but two career threatening injuries when he was still very young. It makes his achievements even more remarkable.
I never got to appreciate this legend but now I know why Baggio is one of my dad's favourite alongside Maradona. Maybe do one on Berbatov. Would love to hear his career.
Berbatov is sick, i really should
Berbatov was a G!! This is coming from an Arsenal fan too I might add so that says a lot. Still though satisfyingly he never won a thing until he left Sp*rs 😂
Fantastically Technically gifted player,but moody and Lazy..
Berbatov was underappreciated. Maybe not underrrated but many, especially Man U never had enough respect for what he did. He was my favorite player of Leverkusen at that time. Great duo with Voronin
@@pandaman1331 i just wanna say as a Manchester United fan myself, that I loved Berbatov! He was insanely gifted! Just imagine if he actually had speed too! He would probably be top 3 best player at the time! He would also have been a better player if he wasn't so moody.. he was always a fan favourite when he played at United, but sometimes it could get annoying to see him when he was really moody, but that just added character. At least I think so.. And I don't think he wasn't respected at United? All United fans I know loves Berbatov.. maybe a little less now, because of his words as a pundit.. ( very often say's more or less shit about United players ). Although some of them deserve it from time to time these years. But some of them he's just unfairly harsh against.. But no matter what, he will always be a legend and one of Premier league's most gifted players!
Had the luck to watch him play live, in the later years of his career.. He was hell of a player..
that's awesome, I wish
Baggio on the bench, is really something I would never understand throughout this life. If these stupid ass arrogant coaches didnt mismanage him, he would have broken all Italian scoring records. His goals involvement ratio was insane once fit, and when he was fit he was benched. And he was really that type of player, even though he came on as a sub in the last 20 25 mins, he would either score or assist or do both..My favourite player whilst growing up and still is...💯💯
Special player, deserved more
This is Zidane comments at 1998 😂but true if he play italy more chance to win the world Cup 1998
It's not only g/a with baggio. His touch and ball manipulation was GOD level like on the level of Messi, Zizou, Ronaldino or Maradona some of the best technically gifted footballers ever.
Recently Christiano Ronaldo was benched by arrogant coach when when he was at his last world cup.
@@ssa6227 dont you dare to compare lately Ronaldo to Baggio man,Ronaldo is weak link everywhere he plays in last 3 years,Roberto was on his peak,simply magnificent when coaches decided to bench him.Imagine its like Zidane and Mourinho would bench Ronaldo when he was in top form,that would be more appropriate comparison.
Beautiful. That genuinely brought a tear to my eye. Anyone who says football is just a game knows nothing. Baggio gave everything and more.
Have seen often Baggio on the bench is still hurts so much. Here in Italy we all know why he was so opposed by the coaches. If the team won with Baggio (like Juventus in 1993/1995) he would have taken away the merits of the coaches. He really shone too much for the pompous ego of the overly envious and jealous coaches like Trapattoni, M.Lippi or Arrigo Sacchi. Now, you can probably understand why it was above all the people who loved him.
He’s a player that can shine on any team, with or without any great coach. And that’s the reason they dislike him
Roberto Baggio. I think I was the only person that possiby thanked him as he missed the famous penalty in the US world cup. I knew that we would have never gotten that far had it not been for him. Love this player, love the man. Will always be my favorite! A true class act!
My friend, thank you. Roberto DESERVED such a video. He is my fav player since the day i first hit a ball and watched a game. I think he is the greatest player in history of italian football, and one of the 5 best ever worldwide. I am deeply touched every single time i remember the way his career has gone, i would really like to suggest you reading his autobiography if you manage to find in your country and language. Believe me, you will just love it. So many thanks from Italy (PS: Roberto is still well regarded as our greatest ever, here. That damned last penalty against Brazil can't spoil the legacy of our last poet of calcio.)
Great video! Baggio was undoubtedly the best player in the world during his prime and is one of the greatest ever to have played the game. His career was compromised by injuries, but ultimately tanked by primadonna managers (Sacchi and Lippi mostly, but Capello, too), who were jealous of the credit Baggio always took for any team’s achievement. I recommend watching his famous goal for Brescia vs Juventus - 34 y.o., broken knee, playing for a small team against a giant in what was at that time the best league in the world. That magic first touch is something unseen. The difficulty of execution, the creativity in conceiving such a move and the bravado in believing you can do it… Not Pelé, not Maradona, Messi… nobody has ever done anything like that
Cr7?
@@makaranddesai6139CR7 isn’t in the same bracket as Messi, Maradona, Baggio, or even Zidane, for natural talent and finesse. Ronaldo is probably only the only player out of the consensus top players of all time, that ain’t naturally talented, in its purest sense. Cristiano is aesthetically ugly to watch imo, in comparison to the natural flair and elegance, of a Baggio/Zidane/Messi/Diego. An analogy i tend to use, is, Ronaldo is factory build, a machine, a physical specimen, every component part, is state of the art, all his skills are taught, programmed through practice and repetition. But Baggio, Messi, Maradona, they’re God made, everything they do is pure natural instinct.
@@thesmithsnerd even during Manchester united days? When was skinny and the world was mesmerized by his skills and tricks that flair Watch som highlights of young ronaldo Manchester united You still feel he's aestheticallly ugly?
@@makaranddesai6139 watch some highlights of young Ronaldo? Lol. I’m 37, I’ve been watching Man Utd since 1993. He was a show pony for his first 3 years with us. He doesn’t even get in our all time Top 10.
Exaclty...cr7 is dedication 110 percent, a lot of raw talent but no.messi baggio or Van Basten ( you should add him I guess) their carreers are similar in some ways...
I came across Baggio from his documentary on Netflix. Since then, I fell in love with "The Divine Ponytail"
he's awesome
I'm a young Ghanaian who likes to hear stuffs about icons and legends of world soccer. Roberto Baggio was a fighter because he never let even the worst injury ever happened to him tied him down to retirement. He retired with a style and in an iconic matchup against AC Milan. Legendary Baggio is such a player I won't ever forget even though I never got to see him play on the pitch or on TV
This was so beautiful that it brought tears of joy and nostalgia for one of my favourite players. Thank you for making this video. There is a story that you may not know that happened while at Brescia. Brescia were on the field for the pregame warmup at Parma for a Coppa Italia game but a player was missing, Vittorio Mero had decided to come to the game with his own vehicle but nobody could find him. The news arrived to the officials of Brescia that Vittorio Mero had just died in a car crash but they didnt tell the players because they wanted the game to go on. The fans found out and they started chanting Vittorio's name. When Baggio realized what happened he took off his Captain's armband and led his players off the field and to the dressing room with most of them in tears. Thanks again for this video
Very few players create magic and artistry when they touch the ball. Baggio was one of them. You had to watch him play to truly know how great he was. Legend!
"Baggio on a bench, I would never understand it" #Zidane
Ahhh, "Il Divin Codino" himself. When people talk of The Greatest, it's usually names like Messi, the 2 Ronaldos, Ronaldinho, Van Basten, Zidane that pop up... seldom this man, sadly. I grew up watching him play; it was like watching liquid silk kick a football. Absolutely UNREAL. Can you imagine how DEVASTATING he would've been without the injuries and Managers stifling him? Legend, and a great human being too. ❤🖤❤🖤
Baggio's a jewel of the sport. One of the finest dribblers i've ever seen .
Baggio got to be a footballer with an Italy who wasn't ready for what he brought to the game. The most brazilian italian, a one-legged man who could dribble through anything, hated from his coaches, loved by the people. He's inspired generations of youngsters and showed everyone how Italy was not all about defense.
100%
Cracked me up when you said him and Dino weren't related. As an Irish football fan when we played Italy in the 1994 world cup a famous Irish commentator came out with a call that has gone down in Irish football folklore: "Ireland will have to contain the famous Baggio brothers........(awkward pause) The Baggio brothers are of course not actually related"
It was impossible for me to take my eyes off of him...he was the magic of his time....
Roby is a footballer that I love with all my heart, even though he's retired a long time ago. But my memories of seeing him play are precious things that will remain forever etched in my heart. Unfortunately, the national team coach has a bias against him. I think lippi envy roby that the fans love him
That 94' World Cup penalty shootout against Brazil is literally my earliest football memory. I can still remember him kicking it over looking all dejected. Actually brought a tear to my eye just now hearing his story. Love your work.
To me he's the GOAT for many reasons, like his injuries, how he was hated by coaches, how he played in little teams, how he never commited fouls, and much more.
This guy got me into football when i was growing up... 12 years old turning the tv on, on sunday mornings in england would show football italia on channel 4... just the way he played showed me there was a art to football and i fell in love with it from watching him
Baggio My all time fav football player pure class always remember the goal he scored against the czech republic in the 1990 world cup Amazing individual goal fantastic player
Dude I'd love a video on Carletto Mazzone. He was the coach of Baggio at Brescia and one of the first to coach Totti in Rome. He is a peculiar figure in italian football, you will love him.
What a player. Goalllllllasco. Memories watching Italian football every week❤️
I just watched baggio at the end of his carrier (a few in Inter, more in Brescia). He was (is) so famous as an iconic football player that even a child will know his name. One day, i read about his trophy which i considered it as "not really great for a player like him". But then, i understand that what he did in his carrier was so much and memorable. He scored many and contributed much for his team, but unfortunately got defeated by greater teams
Sadly, he will always be remembered for his World Cup 94' final performance against Brazil.
My all time favourite player! 😍. The divine ponytail! So graceful with ball at his feet, you'd think he was just gliding past opponents!! And a beautiful soul too. Something very unique in modern football. Had it not been for injuries, we would be talking about possibly the greatest of all time. But easily the best Italian football player I've seen.
Thank you for making this. Baggio was my inspiration as a player. I still think he's the greatest, ever. If I had to make a team roster, Baggio is and will always be my first pick. I cherish the moment I saw him play live in the World Cup in '94. I was in awe. Baggio the greatest.
The ‘94 World Cup was the first World Cup I ever watched. I didn’t know anything at all about football at the time but I knew, watching him play, that I was seeing something special. He was one of those truly magical players that made me a lifelong fan of the game.
well put.....Baggio was a legend .......through this player i understood the need to put differences and work as a team towards a common objective which is money and winning
His positioning,passing and dribble was superb
100%
Even superb is an understatement its out of this world
Great video! Nice to see people outside of Italy appreciating the great Baggio. Just one thing that I can tell you as Italian. When you say Roberto, or Rossi, the "r" is not like the Spanish one. You pronounce it as in "Rock", it's a rolling "r", not a guttural one. There is no guttural "R" in Italian :). It's the same you pronounce in "Fiorentina". There is no guttural "R" in Italian :). Sorry to point this out, but the video was so great and it just sounded so odd! Keep up the good work!
He pronounced 'r' as the spanish 'j', much rather sounded portuguese 'r'. Spanish speaker do not pronounce 'r' as it sounded in this video, which by the way is a greaat one.
@@Joelll15 That's probably because he's from Portugal 😅
Was able to attend the US World Cup back in 94’. I was at the Brazil Italy game and my heart broke for him
So inspiring to watch... great storytelling...reminds me of how my dad used to tell me about his legend (especially in World cup against Nigeria)..
Awesome video man ! Baggio was my hero when i was young. Thanks for reminding me what a legend he was !
love your pure passion for italian football sir!!! as a Serie A fan and Inter fan since i'm born i loved Roberto and, to be honest, nowdays some premier oil king would pay half billion for him easily. please continue with this work becouse it's awesome
I am honored to have watched Baggio play. One of my most favourite players. I was sad for him in 1994 as he missed that penalty in the world cup finals.
Absolute masterpiece of a video! I became a football fan when Baggio was lighting up the '94 World Cup. Followed Juventus and Italia ever since. Keep up the good work!
If Manchester United would of signed Baggio at the time when he left Juventus. I honestly think Baggio would of had the type of impact on United that King Eric Cantona had. You can only imagine how Baggio would of developed as a player under a manager like Sir Alex Ferguson, who would of invested time into Baggio the two of them together could of achieved Greatness of a different level at United.
at that time serie A was way better than Premier League, so no reason for him going compete in a less competitive league. Cantona was good but i guess Baggio talent is way over. At that time he would crush any defence. Some years later Gianfranco Zola did good in Chelsea and he was Baggio back up with national team.
Baggio and Cantona amazing players
*Would've
Cantona is good, but Baggio is leagues above him.
Perfect for Manchester united!! No doubt
Thank you Sir, its so wonderful learning how good some of these guys were, i had so much thirst to know more about Baggio, what a player he was!!
you're welcome!
No one deserves the title of being underrated more than this guy does!!!
my father watched a game where baggio played in 1994 in the gillette stadium in foxboro. he only knew the very basic rules of football but when he watched roberto baggio, he saw just how dominant he was. even injured my father described baggio as magestic.
Guy was something else. I will always remember that 94 World Cup as his pinnacle. Just sad he wasn’t able to win it!
Baggio was more than just a player he was and is a decent man. Also imagine if he had not sustained his injury's? Love Baggio and what he achieved considering is remarkable. Del Piero was nowhere near Baggio's level. Baggio is one of the all times greats PERIOD. Baggio giocavo a calcio da grande artista. 🙏🏾👍🏾
They're different kind of players. Del Piero looked stronger, quicker, while Baggio was way more technical, but met many coaches who didn't know how to handle this kind of a player. He had the technical proficiency of Zidane but he played too forward to be a playmaker. He was good enough to be a striker, a center forward and a CAM, but he never found the right space in teams who were searching for players perfectly fitting their role. That's why his most memorable campaigns were on minor teams like Bologna or Brescia, bringing them to unimaginable levels, and it's there where he is still regarded as an icon for the teams. Fiorentina, Juventus and Milan had so many great names, but Baggio is the only one who had the modesty to play for minor teams for the true passion of the sport.
In the players born after Baggio nobody comes close to him. It's an honour to be even compared to him for players like del Piero and Totti.
@@brutanedda3107 baggio at Fiorentina was faster than del piero and baggio played some of his best football at Fiorentina and Juventus remember his 92/93 season
@@kcapo89 I think that speed wasn't what made him special, he had supernatural precision and dribbling technique but he never had to run a lot, that was what it looked to me. I mean he never looked fatigued, on a rush, that was what made him so elegant, like Totti. Del Piero was way more physical and "pragmatic" in my opinion, he was a different kind of italian player. I remember an interview of this podcast kind of thing here in Italy that is called Bobo TV (it's held by Adani, Cassano and Christian Vieri as hosts) and they had Pep Guardiola on and asked him about Baggio in the brief time he played with him in Brescia, and Guardiola said that his positioning was uncomprehensible, he was always in the right place at the right time and nobody understood how it was possible. He saw movements seconds earlier than any other player on the pitch, and I think that was his way to compensate the fact that he wasn't able to play on strict spaces as it would've be damaging to his very precarious physical condition. He played CAM/CF with the mentality of a striker. It's like putting the ability on the ball of the finest dribblers of all time (as to say Zidane) with the vision of Pirlo and the positioning of Inzaghi. He peaked so much that coaches didn't know in what role he should've actually play. That's why he became the substitute of players that embraced their role in a more conventional way, and it didn't make justice for Baggio at all. But his main traits, in my opinion, were vision, positioning and dribbling ability, and really no other great italian player had all three at the same time. Also a very rare thing you see, which is really something marginal I guess, maybe even stupid to say, is when players use their brains aside their feet. Totti was so good, but his "smartness" was almost muscular, he had smart feet. Players like Zidane or Baggio, they were cerebral. Everything they made they made it out of a genius mind applied to football. They knew so much more than anybody else on the stadium. It's like they are enlightened by something else, their like Gods. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but maybe that's what they made these footballers legendary.
Good call. Some other poster here tried to rate Del Piero and Totti as highly as Baggio. I had to laugh.
Roberto Baggio made his teams play much better, only just a handful players can/could do that. And he played with so much elegance!
Great video well done! Yes those of us lucky to have seen Baggio at the time must agree he was an amazing talent and when he was playing well he was as good as anyone on the planet. I will always remember him as a true great..
The Divine Ponytail. Baggio gave a masterclass in football every time he stepped on the pitch. I was lucky enough to watch him live (on TV) in the 90's. Just wonderful to watch!
The first big football event I remember in my life was WC 1994 and Roberto Baggio and Gheorghe Hagi were my 'superstars'. I was so sad (only 7 years of age) when Baggio missed his penalty. True legend!!
Roberto Baggio is definitely one of the greatest, superstar players of all time that I've ever watched. He is one of the greatest star players not only in Italy but in all of European football, he is a legendary attacking player.
I remember the world cup missed penalty. I was 14 at the time. I remember a Johnny Walker commercial showing baggio missing the penalty and starts walking... "keep walking" Johnny walker red label. I think a lot of football fans loved baggio! It was a beauty to watch. Great video again my man! Try batistuta if you haven't already. Great work
Batistuta! I've been meaning to make one on him for ages
@@DailyDoseOfFootballYT I feel sad about batigol.. he was a beast on the pitch but i read an article about his injuries after his retirement. He was in great pain on his old wound and he couldn't get up from his bed. At the end he wet himself on the bed.. i was sad reading that..
@@tatweilam7853 Woah, i literally just finished a whole script about him and it is really crazy indeed
The most natural gifted double foot player
Best player ever , his pictures on my wall, respect!
Unbelievable video, love the passion and information you inject into your work. When said „sit back and enjoy“, I knew I was in for a good one
2 months ago we wanted to bring a small present to my son's football coach. There were a lot of handmade figures in the shop of all movies, football, boxing, etc stars ... And from all of them there was 1 Baggio and we picked up him. You know, he is really someone special and valuable. Maybe he is a bit forgotten by masses, but not by the true fans.
I love this guy so much, its Hard to explain even for my self, it's just a strange feeling I get, seeing him. Football is not the same since he stopped playing in his last team, Brescia.
And to think he scored all these goals against italian elite defensive minded clubs! What a Legend. The greated player in my opinion ever
Indian became a hard core Italia fan way back in 1994 only because this man
This one surpassed the original video. Great work, glad you looked more at the man behind the football, he really was one of a kind. My favourite player
Roberto Baggio is my all time favourite player. Most of my favourites are strangely Italian or Argentinian (I'm English).
1 of my top 3 all time players along with Maradona and Phenomenon Ronaldo 👌🏽
I was 10 tears old when I first watched him play in Italia 90 world cup. Still the greatest player so poetic on the ball but that knee injury held him back. He deserved so much more praise because he suffered so much during his career. I hope he is doing well? Will always be GOAT. 🙏
The Italian league was at the top of the world, all the greats played there during this period.
They was paying the big wages back then
he became one of the best in the world and a Balon d'or winner playing with a leg and a half, in an old interview he showed both his legs and one was visibly smaller than the other and in that interview he says that he often has excruciating pain in his knee but he just can't stop playing football, if he was born now with the cures and everything there his now for that kind of injury or if that early career injury never happened there is no doubt in my mind he would be in the conversation for the goat, this is one of the biggest what if's for me.
Yeah, with modern therapy he could have been the GOAt
Thanks for the beautiful video, amazing content, a great contribution for a great player and human being!
Personally, Baggio was always my favourite... I really wished he won the 94 World Cup... I watched every match as he was pivotal for Italy to progress, indeed without him Italy was nowhere... I do remember the entire team Giuseppe, Maldini, Donatello and many I can't remember now... 94 World Cup was very close to me emotionally... the only other cup that covered that feeling was Messi's 2014 World Cup which was fulfilled in 2022... this was a Great video... for me, Baggio will always be the relentless tiring player who will be somehow forgotten in the shores of greatness... everyone will achieve greatness in the brightside but there will always be the greats no one will remember that will be lost with the passage of time...
Thank you for another amazing video! I think he and Fernando Redondo were two midfielders who could have been so (even more) amazing if it wasn't for injuries. Happy New Year and I can't wait to find out what you will have in store for us this year!
Happy new year!!! Hopefully something good 😉
Gascoigne too, the other standout of Italia 90
Great video! Def 300 million, can't find a player like him in today's game.
Salah
@@dirkdiggler7317 He's more like a worse version of Messi, but yeah Salah's style is also similar.
You have the most amazing documentary that I have seen anywhere!!! It has been a pleasure to watch and hear.
He is a certain class above the rest. Something celestial....astronomical about him. The eyes, the piercing looks, the hair, the movement.... the style....n above all, a career built on a single leg......a weak knee..... everything ended b4 it began.....n he still made it..... if only he was in one piece...... he would have been untouchable..... my comments in 2022..... I'm a diehard brazil fan n the kind of players that brazil produced but somehow.....Baggio made it into my heart. Am exception he is..... my idol forever.
Baggio rocked, Happy New Years everybody! Thanks for this video
Happy new year!
A great. Saw him play often and couldn’t help but think his early injuries ruined a potentially great career. Still he got better with age, losing pace made him adjust his game and I think it made him able to play better.
Great video! I enjoyed very much! Baggio was a special player.
Thanks, he really was!
Thank you. This is really beautiful work, as usual.
Milan had a great team in that era, possibly the best club side ever, but I can honestly say Baggio was the best player in serie A, when the Italian league was at its peak. Single handedly got them through to the final in 94. Shame he missed the penalty and is remembered for that, as he had been excellent in that tournament.
The irony of the fate of that penalty is that at the time he was the best penalty scorer of the Serie A ever.
Agreed but he shard that title with Van Basten....both don t recieve the credits they deserve I think....
@@markschiering3212 i think he is definitely appreciated more now. Scoring goals back then was pretty difficult against some of the best defenders that have played the game. Serie A in the 90s was similar to the Premier league now, only better. The best players and coaches were there and tackling was also still allowed.
Baggio, Baggio the greatest of all time . I repeat … the greatest
Thanks for this. Baggio was *the* player of my childhood and will always be the greatest for me.
such a shame, that a great player, maybe the best italian soccer player of all time, Mr. Roberto Baggio, is only remembered by most people of his missed penalty against Brazil in 94... as a brazillian, i have to say, Baggio was genious, he was a insanely talented player, so much that even his coachs as you said in the video, would not understand how good he was, it felt that they were determined to mine his career instead of trying to use he to the best of his ability...thats so sad Baggio deserved a better career, he suffered so much, i remember reading about how devastated he was after losing that 94's world cup final penalty, he would proceed to fall into such a depression that it took some time for him to bounce back as a player... soccer is not fair sometimes, and Baggio is proof of that
He is there with the biggest names. Top 5 ever. Personally my 2nd best player ever.
I'd say better than video itself was here your voice and the music with it :-) You have put such an honest feeling into it. It's obvious that same like me you have been fascinated by Roberto's career and personality... Everyone is unique i their own way but Roberto will be always to me the best Italian player of all time who has never been given opportunity to fulfill his genius potential. That makes him probably more special and of course the tragic hero of the world cup 94. Btw. You did say one little incorrect information. In 94 WC play off rounds Roberto scored 5 of 6 Italian goals. You said 6 of 7 but still beautiful documentary ;-) Thank you man :-)
Thanks man, and you're right, it's 5 out of 6
I have an idea something you can add / fix on your next / previous vids OP @Daily Dose Of Football.. (if you want to fix all of them that would be superb) you might add the very year of the season (if not the date) when the event took on.. this is crucial for your content to make it easier for viewer to digest & remember the fact of that era.. by the way love your work mah duude.. can i request for the next profile: Matthias Sammer.. THX!!..
Thank you for this video. Baggio is my favorite player of all time. Thanks to him I wore Diadora boots growing up. True Legend.
Great video ,my eyes the greatest Italian footballer alive ,1994 I was 17 made me live them best emotions as a teenager,total finesse when he touched the ball
Do one on Filippo Inzaghi. He never gets props on how he was good
