On February 1, 1969 in the city of Avelaneda in the Santa Fe region of Argentina, the man who became a favorite of many generations was born.
Batigol celebrated in the dresses of Fiorentina and Roma. In the 90's, every nail wanted to be like him. In Fiorentina, Batistuta won the Supercup and the Cup of Italy in the season 95/96. With Roma, he reached the precious squad - a championship title in the 2000/01 season.
After finishing his career, the Argentine had serious knee pain and many sweat:
"Doctor, cut my feet, I can not do it any more like this. I can not and I do not want! I'd better be like Oscar Pistorius (a South African athlete without two feet). After the end of my career, I can not go. I did not get out of bed a day, two, a month ... I was in a heavy depression. The doctor rejected my request for amputation. He fixed my joint with the help of screws. It was a problem for me that I had no healthy bone and a vein in my legs. All of my 86 pounds were weighed on bones. It's been a long time before the pain has calmed down, "Batistuta admitted in an interview with TyC Sports.
FIFA put it on the list of the 125 best live players of all time, and Batistuta entered the Roma House of Fame. The incredible centrifuge is the second best scorer in the history of Argentina with 54 goals for the national team.
In 1992 he scored 12 goals in 11 matches in a row for the national team (two goals against Venezuela, the Ivory Coast and Australia). He played with his country at three World Championships.
He became the first footballer to give a hat-trick to two different Mundials: on June 21, 1994 against Greece and June 21, 1998 against Jamaica.
Serie A still holds his record with a goal in 11 matches in a row for Fiorentina (Fabio Quagliarella can overtake him if he scored against Napoli on Saturday).
Batigol is the top scorer of Fiorentina in Serie A with 152 goals. In 2005 he finished his football career in Qatar Al-Arabi.
After the end of the playing career he was briefly part of the professional headquarters of the Gauchosians and was a technical secretary at Colon Santa Fe.
Ladies and gentlemen Gabriel Batistuta Everything else is history enjoy it !!!
