Legend, Maradona stated that he is an Argentine beast. Madonna said that he is the god of war in her heart. Liu Xiang said that he is his favorite football star. When Cannavaro retired, he once exaggerated thanks to the old Heaven, saying that he no longer needs to be his opponent, he is the “God of War” Gabriel Batistuta.
Batistuta was born in Argentina in 1969. When he was a child, he loved hunting. He started to play football under the influence of his uncle Melch. When he was 18, he was scouted by Glyph, and entered the New Wales second boy team. That would be, he did not show extraordinary talent, but also because the ball was reversed three times during the practice and was questioned by the coach “is it a watermelon?”
Batistuta was transferred to the first team after the injury of the old boy of Newells, but although he was very energetic on the field, he established himself in the team. After a year, he was loaned to a small club to play. In the summer of 1989, Batti joined Riverplate and scored 14 goals in the first 14 games. However, after a coaching change, Batti became a substitute.
Batti, who was not willing to be a substitute, moved to the Boca Juniors in 1990. Here, the head coach asked him to change to the center. In 1991, Batti was named in the Argentina squad to Copa America. He played very well and not only helped Argentina win the title, He won the top scorer as well. After Copa America, Batti joined Serie A side, Florence.
In the first season in Florence, Batty scored 13 goals. In the second season, Florence suffered an accident. Before Christmas, he ranked second in Serie A, the team struggled in the second half of the season and they were relegated to the second division, this made Batti a little shaken, because the 1994 World Cup is coming, it will be difficult for a player playing in the second division to make the talented Argentine team, however, Batty stay loyal to the club, and his loyalty also touched the Argentine head coach and finally set foot on the flight to the United States.
In the nine years of Viola, Batti fulfilled his promise to stay in Lorenzo. In the 1995-1996 season, he helped Florence raise the Italian Cup and the Italian Super Cup. However, due to the limited strength of the team, Florence could not progress in the Champions League, there was some gain. In 2000, in order to have a higher honor, Batti chose to leave to join Rome.
Finally in the 2000-2001 season, Batty and Roman Prince Totti joined forces to score 33 goals to help Rome win the first Serie A championship in 18 years. In August of this year, Batty helped Roma win the Italian Super Cup and achieve the season double. The crown king feat, however, after all, Batti has become older and older, coupled with injuries, the performance is getting lower and lower.
In January 2003, 34-year-old Batty joined the international rice in the rent situation. Two years later, due to injuries, Batti did not want to take the club’s salary, and immediately announced his official retirement. The green life of a generation of God of War was closed. .
Batty is unparalleled in the league and has performed equally well in the national team. At the age of 17, he entered the Argentine National Youth Team. At the age of 22, he officially wore the blue and white shirt of the national team and played in the 1991 Chilean America Cup. 6 goals into the ball helped Argentina win the gold cup and won the title of the best shooter. In the Ecuador America’s Cup in 1993, Batty scored two goals in the final to help Argentina defend.
In the first World Cup in 1994, the first game against Greece, Batty played a hat trick, but unexpectedly Maradona was negative in the urine test by the FIFA, Argentina fell morale, and finally won the cup The “big black horse” Romania team squeezed the quarterfinals.
In the 1998 World Cup, Batty took the hope of all Argentines and once again played a hat-trick against Jamaica, becoming the only player in the history of the World Cup to play a hat-trick in two consecutive World Cups. However, due to the loss of Maradona and many more. A gold generation player, Argentina is still a quarter-final.
In the 2002 World Cup, this was the last chance for Batty to dream. However, with the aura of the most powerful Argentine team in history, they were forced to 1:1 draw and lose the team in the “last round” of life and death. The opportunity to qualify, can not accept the actual Batti tears on the spot, although in the 78 games representing Argentina, 56 goals became the first striker of Argentina at the time, but the unrequited Batti is still with a deep unwilling and strong Regrettably left the World Cup, left the national team, and left people’s sight…
