Best soccer
player in the world in the 90'
s. Probably the best Italian
player of all time.
Broke his legament at age 18. Became a star at 20.
3rd place at world cup 1990. In 1994 dragged Italy to the final with 5 fantastic goals, then he missed the last penalty.
More injuries happened - he became a buddhist.
Some very
stupid coach - screw you Lippi and Trapattoni - kept him on the bench.
Went to smaller teams and became a legend, loved like nobody else.
Had a ponytail that became gray as the years went by. His class never did.
Retired in 2004.
