Roberto Baggio

“Time never stood still for me. It went too fast; that was the bad thing about it!”

“Hunting is part of a cycle of life that repeats. Life. Death. Life. Death. Death is part of life.”

“I love football and my country, so I remain ready for any interesting offers.”

“Often, I allow teammates to take my penalties so they can have goals, but no one talks of that.”

“Van Basten went directly to the national team without coaching any other clubs. It's not the norm in Italy.”

“I only want to play, don't like the life in the spotlight.”

“For me, hunting is a natural fact rather than a choice.”

“Modern football tends to bring out the narcissism of those who sit on the bench.”

“I wanted to score the winning goal in the 90th minute of the World Cup final.”

“Every day growing up, I had this dream about the World Cup: I score the winning goal. In the final minute. With my butt!”

“Thanks to my Buddhist faith, to the positivity that arose from prayer, I put the optimism of determination before the pessimism of logic and reason.”

“With soccer, I have the ability to do things differently. That is why I admire Leonardo da Vinci. He was able to create things other people wouldn't believe in.”

“I don't care about keeping seats of power.”

“The most beautiful thing about my career is the feeling people have for me.”

“I lost a lot of finals, so it was difficult. It's sad, and that sadness stays with you, but I always enjoyed the game.”

“Modern football is increasingly dominated by the coaches - their narcissism to put themselves above the team and their players.”

“The best thing to do is to find the type of play to make Italy win the World Cup, and maybe Baggio be the best player.”

“It's important that a person doesn't lose track of himself.”

“Every time I return here, I always have fond memories of my time with Fiorentina.”

“I have never really been satisfied by the easily scored goal.”
