Inter pernah nolak Franco Baresi. alesannya badannya terlalu kecil.
hari yg sama, kakaknya Giuseppe diterima. dua bocah dateng bareng, satu dipulangkan.
Baresi meninggal pagi ini di Italia, umur 66.
Milan yg nampung. di tim muda dia dipanggil "Piscinin", bahasa Milan buat si kecil.
1980 Milan kena skandal Totonero, turun ke Serie B. Baresi ikut turun, nolak semua tawaran yg masuk.
1982 Milan turun lagi. dia nolak pindah lagi. dua kali dia ikut bawa Milan balik ke Serie A.
taun itu Italia juara Piala Dunia. Baresi ada di skuadnya, gak main semenit pun. umurnya 22, dan di tahun yg sama dia jd kapten Milan. ban itu dia pegang 15 musim.
bareng Maldini, Costacurta, Tassotti dia bangun lini belakang yg masih dipake jd patokan sampe skrng. musim 1993/94 Milan kebobolan 15 gol dari 34 laga.
1994, Piala Dunia. laga kedua lawan Norwegia, meniskusnya robek. operasi.
25 hari kemudian dia main di final lawan Brasil.
120 menit. clean sheet. Brasil gak nembus.
adu penalti, tendangannya gagal. kram, tenaganya abis. Italia kalah. dia nangis di lapangan.
20 tahun karier, satu klub. 719 laga, 6 Scudetto, 3 Piala Champions, 81 caps.
nomor 6 nya dipensiunkan Milan sejak 1997. belum ada yg makenya lagi.
bocah yg dulu dipulangkan Inter gara2 kekecilan.
Riposa in pace, Franco 🥀

🚨🗣️ Sergio Ramos on the better player between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi:
🗣️ “For me, the easiest way to answer the Messi or Cristiano debate is this: if I’m playing a final tomorrow and I can only pick one, I’m choosing Cristiano Ronaldo. Messi gives you moments of magic that very few players can produce, but Cristiano gives you the feeling that no matter how the game is going, he’ll find a way to win it.
🗣️ “That’s what I admire the most. Talent is one thing, but turning up when the pressure is at its highest is something else. With Cristiano on your team, everyone believes until the final whistle because he’s done it too many times.”
🚨 Pepe on the fight that broke out between Paredes & Gavi:
“Sergio called me after the game. He wasn’t happy watching Gavi being surrounded like that. He said it made him miss football. I told him, ‘Me too.’
🚨🗣 Jude Bellingham revealed what he said to Messi:
🗣Reporter: "we saw you walk up to Messi and had a conversation, what did you say to him?"
"Nothing much, I told him the world knows how the higher authorities help him get here and he shouldn't feel any special"
"Ronaldo is better than you were my last words to him before I left"
💣🚨 Declan Rice explains why he embraced Martin Ødegaard after the final whistle.
🗣️ “When the final whistle went, there were no opponents anymore. I didn’t see Norway or England. I just saw my captain.”
“I know how much this game meant to Martin. I know how much he carries on his shoulders, not only for Norway but every single day as a leader. Seeing him hurting like that… I couldn’t just walk past.”
“We’ve built something special at Arsenal. We’ve celebrated together, we’ve suffered together, and we’ve pushed each other to become better players and better people. That doesn’t disappear because we’re wearing different national team shirts.”
“I just wanted him to know he wasn’t standing there alone. Football can break your heart in one moment, but the people you share the journey with help put the pieces back together.”
“In a few weeks, we’ll be back at the Emirates fighting side by side again. He’ll still be my captain, I’ll still fight for him, and together we’ll keep chasing the biggest trophies for Arsenal.”
“For 90 minutes we represented different countries. But the bond we have at Arsenal is bigger than one match. That will never change.
