Baggio is very focused
as he approaches the penalty spot,
He's positioning the ball,
Everyone's looking at one another,
The stadium is silent,
Baggio makes a short run,
Off he goes,
Who is Roberto Baggio?
Well, I was born 17 years ago
in Caldogno, where I still live,
I started playing when I was two or three years old,
NETFLIX PRESENTS
I'd carry the ball around the house,
And now I've been playing at Vicenza for five years,
People speak highly of you, you know?
Yes, I realize that,
Being 17, how does it feel?
Well, I'm happy, It's satisfying, but…
I have to prove myself on the pitch,
Is Vicenza holding you back?
-No, it's fine, -When will you make the big jump?
That's for the club to decide,
Now we have to win the league, I hope it's the right year,
-Food's on the table, -Coming!
Hurry up, Eddy,
Nadia, come help Mom,
Coming,
Eddy, call Walter, He's always on the phone with his girlfriend,
Walter, dinner is ready,
Roby, is what the paper says true?
-Yes, but don't show them, -You have to tell them,
The water, get the water,
-Are we eating? -Of course, we're eating,
-Rice and peas, Did you wash your hands? -Yes,
You all are driving me mad,
No, that's bullshit,
You think I want to be here tonight?
Mom, say something,
Hey, what's all this noise?
Finally,
So?
Eddy, tell Dad about the History test,
I got a B,
Good job, little man,
Daddy, I went shopping with Mom, but they didn't have your cheese,
They had the wine,
I'm going out tonight,
And I talked to Sandro,
He said that for now they're not hiring, but maybe soon,
I signed with Fiorentina,
For 2 billion and 700 million lire,
Holy Virgin Mary,
Why didn't you tell us sooner, son?
I wanted Dad to be here too,
Are you getting this money?
Well, no, Vicenza is,
I'm getting a salary, And it's good too,
Great, So you can pay me back for the windows you broke in the shop,
He doesn't practice his free kicks in his room,
Maybe I can come back sometime and help you with the shop,
With what Fiorentina is paying you,
focus on earning that money,
Do you care at all that I'll play in Serie A?
-What should I tell you, that you're good? -For starters,
You're all the same to me,
You're not better than your brother,
who busts his ass at the factory,
And if you expect a compliment for everything you do,
you won't get very far,
You have to work hard and fly low,
What do you know about getting far?
I have eight kids, Eight,
How could I feed them?
I couldn't race as a cyclist and leave your mom alone,
So it's our fault you didn't become Eddy Merckx,
With all this talking, you're scaring the ducks,
See what happens when you fly low?
Go fetch!
Roby!
If you don't hurry, they'll start training without you,
Easy, you'll get hurt,
Will you come with me to Florence?
Yeah, right,
What about school?
There are schools there too,
They'll never let me go,
Then insist,
If you insist,
sooner or later…
My dad would have a stroke,
Let's just walk,
You give up too easy,
Watch,
-Let's go, -See, when you insist?
-Go, -You ready?
Yes,
MAY 5TH 1985 RIMINI-VICENZA
How does it feel to be the highest-paid 18-year-old?
Well, it's a big responsibility,
Since these are your last games in Serie C,
try not to rub it in against us,
Okay,
What did he want?
Who, Sacchi?
He's afraid I'll score,
Then do it,
Come on!
On the right!
The ball!
Anterior cruciate, capsule, meniscus and collateral,
We pierced the tibia head with the drill,
Then we cut the tendon, put it through the hole,
pulled it up, and secured it with 220 stitches,
Two hundred and twenty?
When can I play again?
Focus only on healing,
I'll come back later to check on him,
Mom,
Yes, honey, I'm here,
If you love me, kill me,
What are you saying?
Don't even kid around like that,
Don't ever talk like that,
Baggio,
You made it,
Good morning,
Welcome,
-Morning, -Morning,
I'll take that,
Thank you for bringing him here,
Thank you for taking him like this,
Well, little by little, right?
-Roby, I'll wait for you inside, -Yes,
-Thanks again, Bye, -Goodbye,
In the 1970 World Cup, the final was Italy versus Brazil,
We lost 4-1,
I was there, devastated,
You came to me
and you said,
"I'll win the World Cup against Brazil for you, I promise,"
Do you remember?
Unbelievable! The one time that we're in the final,
And you can't play well?
Brazil is the champion of the world,
I was three, How could I?
Listen,
This injury was the best thing for you,
You thought you made it, and you lost it all,
Nothing is owed to you in life, Nobody gives you anything for free,
Luckily, you found that out early on,
Lucky me,
We'll see,
Roby!
Listen, there's an issue with your paychecks,
Meaning?
Meaning that they haven't been cashed,
Did you get the checks?
I know,
I haven't played yet, I mean, you're paying me to do nothing,
Hey, you're not the first to get injured playing the game,
Come on, go cash those checks,
And cheer up a bit!
Come on now,
Need help?
Yes, Is there a new record by--
The Eagles? No, I'm sorry,
It's the third time you've asked me about the Eagles' record,
Also, The Eagles haven't made a record since '79,
Baggio, is everything okay?
How do you know my name?
You think I wouldn't recognize our most promising player?
Yeah, real promising,
What do you mean?
Everyone here says that you're…
-A phenom, I heard, -A phenom,
Maurizio,
Roby,
If it's okay, I'd like to give you something that did a lot of good for me,
Have you heard of Buddhism?
Why do you laugh?
Look, I reacted like you at first,
But then, starting the journey changed my life,
The Human Revolution,
I'll put my address on here too,
so if you want,
you can stop by my place sometime,
and we can practice a bit, What do you say?
Sure, maybe next time,
When The Eagles make a new record,
Thanks,
Thank you,
JANUARY 1ST 1988
-Yes? -Happy New Year, my love!
Hello?
What's going on?
I'm quitting,
I'm not doing well at all,
I'll come back to Caldogno,
Wait, I can't understand, Mom, will you turn it down, please?
They want to sell me to Pescara,
In Serie B,
Do you know what that means?
I'll just come back home, and we'll be together,
Are you there?
Listen, Roby,
You survived an injury that would've made anyone else--
Survived, Andreina?
-I played two games in two years, -And you scored against Maradona,
Everyone still remembers here in town,
And your dad told me you promised you'd win the World Cup,
Is that true?
I can't take it anymore,
Then insist,
Because if you insist, sooner or later…
You taught me that,
I insisted, and I finally convinced my dad,
I'll be there soon,
Really?
Yes,
Don't get yourself down,
You only need…
to find the strength to go on, you know?
Happy New Year, my love,
Bye,
Baggio?
Come on, baby, Please, understand, He's a friend going through a crisis,
See the shape he's in?
Come on, please, Don't do this again, Don't be mad,
-Did I get you in trouble? -No, she'll get over it,
Come on, we'll do a quick half hour to get the hang of it,
-Seems a little short, -Short?
No? We could do an hour or two,
I have nothing to do all day,
Nothing to do all day? Then we'll stay here until the Epiphany,
-Who's that guy? -Daisaku Ikeda,
The sensei, My master,
-Do you also speak Japanese? -No, doesn't matter,
With time, you'll see
that enlightened minds can communicate in other ways,
Well, how does this thing work?
Okay, read this, It's ancient Chinese,
-Good, -Meaning?
It's the essential mystic law of life,
So if I say this phrase every day, then I'll feel better?
Well, it takes some commitment,
It's not "abracadabra,"
You have to focus on your goals,
elevate your life condition, clean your karma,
Clean what?
-Your karma, -What's that?
It's the fruit of the actions that we all take,
Like a sort of rap sheet?
Yes, Not really, but I mean,
if you do right, your karma is clean, If you don't…
-It's dirty? -See?
Okay,
I think mine is pretty clean, I've never hurt anyone,
Well, except a few ducks while hunting,
There you go, Listen carefully, Pick that up,
Two on this side,
Like this,
Perfect, very good, Let's do it,
No, serious,
The important thing you have to understand
is that everything is up to you,
You're in control of your life,
You're the one who determines your existence,
You determine your own future,
So, first you focus on a precise goal,
You write it down, you visualize it,
And then you throw all your energy into it,
Because believe me,
if you don't work hard, things won't happen on their own,
-Thank you, Roberto, Bye, -Bye, thanks,
In the 1970 World Cup,
the final was Italy versus Brazil,
We lost 4-1,
You came to me
and you said,
"I'll win the World Cup against Brazil for you,"
Do you remember?
I look better there than in real life,
-You're stupid, -You keep getting better,
Why don't you do it for real?
Yeah, sure, Drawing is not a real job,
And kicking a ball around is?
That's different, You have talent,
God,
You only need a little confidence,
Actually, there is something that could help you,
Well, at least, it's been helping me,
I've been praying for two months,
What? You go to Mass?
I've become a Buddhist,
You're such an idiot,
I'm serious,
Really, Roby?
-Really? -Yeah, really,
I mean, you pray to Buddha?
Two hours a day,
One in the morning and one at night in front of the Gohonzon,
Two hours a day?
You're crazy,
Why?
You told me that I had to find the strength to go on,
I'm finding it,
Roby, listen, this is like a cult,
I mean, they'll take all your money,
You look at me and tell me,
Am I better or worse?
NATIONAL TEAM CALL-UP
Maybe I should've specified, "a feasible goal,"
Why? This isn't?
Well…
You're going to Serie B now, you tell me,
I actually held back,
Why? What did you want to write?
Win the World Cup against Brazil,
Tomorrow morning, 6:30?
Yes, and thank you for coming,
Listen, what was your goal in life?
Maybe you wanted to be
a famous drummer,
Right, Keith Moon,
The Who's drummer,
And then what happened?
Nothing, why?
Well, it doesn't look like…
-Right? -Listen,
Keith Moon died at 32 of a drug overdose,
Who do you think is doing better, me or him?
It's not what the world gives you that makes you happy,
-I still want to win the World Cup, -Good,
You'll have to practice a lot, but…
Baggio, I was looking for you,
They're waiting for you in Pescara,
What do you mean? You still want to sell me?
The national team, Roby, Understand?
It's the call-up for the friendly against Norway
in Pescara on October 19th,
Get dressed, Domenica Sportiva is waiting for an interview,
-For me? -No, for me, Come on, let's go,
6 YEARS LATER
While all sporting events have halted for Christmas,
the talk of the day is Roberto Baggio's personal success,
as he was just awarded by the magazine France Football
the 1993 Ballon d'Or,
an acknowledgment that goes to the best player of the year,
Good evening,
We're live from Giants Stadium in New Jersey, close to New York…
USA WORLD CUP 1994
…where Italy is about to start its adventure at USA '94,
In a few minutes, the Azzurri will be on the field
against Éire, the Republic of Ireland,
for their first game of the World Cup,
Let's go, I put the game on!
Come on, people!
Yes, I'm recording,
Italy!
No more cards, the game is about to start,
Put them away,
Italy called, yes!
ITALY - IRELAND 0-1
One touch,
I get the ball, I give the ball, One touch,
But no, We were stretched,
Instead of being here, here,
and here, what did we do?
We ended up being here,
We knew that Ireland was stronger physically, right?
How long did we study them for? Two whole months,
Two months,
And then, we let them…
We played their game instead of playing ours,
One touch,
Coach?
How can I dribble past a guy with one touch?
What are you saying, Roberto?
If every time I touch the ball I have to pass it,
I mean, how can I dribble?
Everyone in the video room,
Let's go over the game,
Except you,
Come here,
You know you're not playing in the qualifiers, right?
I'm playing out of position,
I feel excluded from the game like this,
And we lost against Ireland,
I know,
But,
you, Roberto, have to stay calm,
You have to trust me,
Because for us, you're like Maradona for Argentina,
You're crucial,
Would you ask Maradona to play one touch?
It'll take a show of strength from our national team
to forget the bitter stint against Ireland,
…short pass for Baresi,
who's able to play the ball,
Casiraghi, Roberto Baggio gets closer, He shoots!
Good effort,
On the far right,
The pass for Baresi, he…
Bjørnebye, Rushfeldt… We have to be careful!
Our defense was unprepared
and Pagliuca…
No!
-Was it a foul? -Yes, outside the box,
…the opposing player is sent off,
This is not good at all,
Pagliuca sent off…
He has to take a striker out,
-What happened? -Pagliuca got sent off,
No!
No way, He's taking Roby out?
-Why would he do that? -He took Roby out?
What do you mean, Baggio?
Baggio is saying, "Who, me?"
This guy is crazy,
He said he's crazy,
-What did he say? -That Sacchi is crazy,
That's not good, Not good,
Baggio's expression first, then Sacchi's,
He took out the Ballon d'Or winner, Bye!
…Marchegiani,
Did you want to talk to me, Coach?
ITALY - NORWAY 1-0
Come here,
What was that you said when I pulled you out?
That I'm crazy?
On a worldwide broadcast?
You think you made me look like shit in front of a billion people?
I'll tell you a secret now,
You looked like shit,
You showed that you're an immature and arrogant player,
Coach, you told me that I was crucial,
You're all the same to me,
And if I'm down a man, I think of winning,
not about protecting someone's sensibility, got it?
But anyway, yes, I'm crazy,
Real crazy, though,
If you're not crazy, you won't even try to change football in Italy,
Now go,
Starting tomorrow, up at 5:00 a,m,
We need to work on movements without the ball
because we're not precise,
We're a mess!
The referee blows the whistle,
Final score is 1-1,
Useless game,
-Useless, -Now what?
-Useless, -What happens now?
The problem is the midfield pressing,
No, it's Sacchi, he doesn't let them play,
ITALY-MEXICO 1-1
Everyone's an expert now?
Sacchi won everything, he knows what he's doing,
Sacchi,
He looks so sad, that boy,
He needs us,
He needs his family,
We have to go there,
If they go through, we'll go,
Right, Florindo?
Okay,
Gianni Agnelli, the owner of Juventus,
said that Baggio, against Mexico,
looked like a wet rabbit,
It's a tough blow for the image
of the most awaited player on this team and most coddled at Juventus,
-Look who's there, -Where were you? It's 1:00,
What a mess, we got lost,
We went around New Jersey three times,
I know it like home,
Your dad has us arguing here too,
My love,
Dad, I love you,
Honey, I love you too,
-Hi, love, -Hi,
How are you?
How am I?
Good now, I'm good now,
Where are the bags?
He has them,
They told us to put them in that cart,
Albertini!
Donadoni!
Pass the ball to Massaro!
What ball? There's no ball,
The Nigerians are faster, stronger,
We have to forget that we went through as third in the group,
Our World Cup starts now,
We're in the last 16 of the World Cup,
and we are Italy,
We're in round 16, an elimination round,
If you win, you go on, If you lose, you go home,
Italy has always played football as it did war,
We only shoot the moment the enemy makes a mistake,
Damn it, ref!
This would be a foul, It'd be a yellow card,
Is this the Italy that you want to be?
A country without any new ideas,
incapable of change?
We are ugly because we only think about ourselves,
Me, I'd rather see a team,
not 11 players,
Carlo?
Announce the starting 11,
Marchegiani,
Mussi,
Maldini, Costacurta, Benarrivo,
Donadoni, Berti…
Baggio… Roberto,
And Massaro,
The trajectory is high,
The ball, it's a goal,
No! What was that?
…a strange goal,
A mistake in the confusion…
I can't believe it, I'm going home, That's it,
…Yekini scores,
Let's see it again,
A few minutes left,
The atmosphere is discouraging,
Come on, Roberto,
Another initiative,
Here we go, The ball finds Baggio,
And it's a goal by Roberto Baggio in the 43rd minute of the second half,
Roberto Baggio ties up the match,
Yes!
Roberto Baggio,
It seemed over,
I'm telling you, He'll keep scoring,
A chip for Benarrivo!
He's down, Penalty!
Easy, easy,
It's a penalty, not a goal yet,
How much longer?
A moment of great excitement and trepidation,
Eleventh minute of the first overtime,
Roberto Baggio against Rufai,
ROUND 16 ITALY - NIGERIA 2-1
BAGGIO REUNITES ITALY
Long for Signori,
Signori finds Roberto Baggio,
Roberto Baggio shoots!
And scores! Roberto!
QUARTER FINALS ITALY-SPAIN 2-1
Coach!
BAGGIO TAKES ITALY TO THE SEMIFINAL AGAINST STOICHKOV'S BULGARIA
…gets in there, The ball's on his right foot!
He scores!
Costacurta!
Good job, Roby!
Straight, The ball is for Roberto,
He's in the box, Looking for an opening, but he doesn't get through,
Tsvetanov doesn't let him through,
SEMIFINAL ITALY - BULGARIA 2-1
Even if you kill me, I won't miss the final against Brazil,
It was hot in the stadium,
I noticed,
It was 104 degrees, 100 percent humidity,
Of course you guys get hurt,
Well, I made you a promise, right?
What?
When I was three,
The final against Brazil,
You promised you'd win,
You haven't won yet,
What are we doing?
Trying a couple of shots,
-Here? -Yes,
I want to test your leg,
Harder,
With all your strength!
Again,
-Again! -That's enough!
-No, -Do you want me to play the final?
I want to know if you're able to,
Maybe you'd prefer I get injured for good, so I won't play,
What?
If you win the Cup without me, the credit is yours,
but if I overshadow you,
it's not Sacchi's Italy anymore, it's Baggio's,
Let me get this straight, you think I want to injure you?
I've found someone more paranoid than me,
I'm going on the pitch, If I'm not well, you can swap me out,
Good evening,
The Italian national team beat Bulgaria…
Many TVs and giant screens all over Italy…
…in the streets and squares,
the wildest fans dive in the square's fountains,
and we're hearing the deafening sound of the cars honking all around us…
THE FINAL
You dream your whole life to play the final against Brazil,
Then, when it happens, the referee blows the final whistle,
and it feels like you haven't even played a minute,
Zero-zero, says the scoreboard,
But you don't remember anything,
as if your brain didn't register any of it,
Overtime starts, and that goes in a flash too,
Time fell in a black hole,
Puhl blows the whistle,
The 15th title of World Champion will be awarded
for the first time ever by way of penalties,
After an instant, the penalties also fell in a black hole,
Time had been stripped away,
You can't tell where you are, what's happening,
And all that you know is written up there,
Dunga,
He scores,
Then, all of a sudden,
the black hole that swallowed time spits it back out,
What was fast becomes slow, almost still,
Suddenly, every second seems to last a lifetime,
And when time decides to go mad, present and past get confused,
Brazil takes the lead,
Roberto Baggio will take our last penalty kick,
We still have
a sliver of hope,
Gentlemen, this kick will decide the winner
of the 1994 World Championship,
Goal!
What a great penalty by Roberto Baggio!
And Italy is the World Champion!
His teammates surround him!
The entire stadium cheers and yells out his name, Roberto Baggio!
Roberto Baggio!
Goal!
6 YEARS LATER
What's wrong with it?
Nothing, it's just old,
It doesn't bear fruit, I may have to chop it down,
Are you a gardener now?
I'm unemployed,
I may have to be chopped down too,
Didn't the Japanese want you? How much did they offer?
Fourteen billion lire,
And that's not enough? What are you still doing here?
I'd rather stay here,
You're still thinking about the World Cup,
Don't you get that they don't want you here?
Not even at Vicenza,
I found out, you know,
Why are you always busting the coaches' balls?
Ask them,
I don't do anything wrong, I only ask to play,
No, I'm asking you,
You must share some of the blame, right?
I overshadow them, I don't know what else to say,
I don't complain, I train, I pray, that's it,
There, "I pray,"
Maybe all this Buddhism wasn't good for you?
-I'm asking, -You don't know what you're talking about,
Doing strange things makes you look like you're different,
That people don't trust you,
You only think of yourself, not the team,
There, you said it,
Still with this "Baggio is not a team player,"
Come on, please,
It's bullshit that the coaches make up to get rid of me,
You always wanted to overshadow your brothers,
Me?
Maybe you always treated me worse than the others
instead of believing in me,
You're the one who has to believe in yourself,
And if you believed a little more, maybe you would've scored that penalty,
Silly me,
Thanks for the reminder, by the way,
Still the penalty?
How the fuck did I miss it?
I've never shot one high in my life, Never,
You know what I think?
That everyone loves you so much because you lost that final,
Because you showed that you're human, you make mistakes, and you hurt,
Like everybody else,
I'm going for a walk,
Go back to sleep, don't worry,
Vittorio, sorry if it's late,
Am I disturbing you?
What did you write down as your first goal?
I wrote many,
And Roby, what's important is the journey,
We discover the real goals along the way,
Why do you ask?
Because you're a friend first, then my manager,
Of course I'm your friend,
Otherwise I wouldn't drive 125 miles at 5:30 a,m, to come here,
I want to go to Japan,
You changed your mind?
You decided to accept the offer?
No,
Two years from now,
For the Japan and Korea World Cup,
With the national team,
I understand what you mean about the journey,
But I feel that I have to be there,
Wearing that jersey,
I'm here for you, That's why I came,
The problem is without a team, I won't be called to the national squad,
I'll find one, Shit, there must be someone who's still sane out there,
Like in the scene where Forrest Gump starts running
and people follow him,
here behind Roby Baggio, the entire town is running along with him,
Since he's back to training at home, this is an everyday recurrence,
A collective ritual, and a touching one,
The champ given back to his native town's embrace,
Gino?
Caldogno's kids…
-Ginetto? -What is it?
With all the crap players you bought,
why not Baggio? He doesn't have a team,
How long will it last?
Is Roberto Baggio's career really over?
Thanks for wanting to see me,
As you know, we've had some complicated situations
with a few coaches,
Everything that Roby stands for,
his values,
all the love that people have always had for him,
well, for some people it's a problem,
I know,
A lot of prima donnas among my colleagues,
I understand you,
You give your best if you're the center of the team,
In that situation, nobody's better,
Well…
I only need to feel the trust in me, like everyone else,
Here in Brescia, you'll have all the trust you need,
We don't need to win the league, just avoid relegation,
Do you want to save us?
Well, we'll try,
I know, for being a first draft, it's very detailed,
But it's important to protect not only the player, but also the man,
Keep in mind, President, that Roby…
Explain to me this Buddhist thing,
The image is important, he's an example…
Nothing, I'm Buddhist,
Your manager is Buddhist,
your wife also,
You're not going to convert me!
My wife was a lot more skeptical than you at first,
But you hunt,
And that's not very Buddhist,
No, I…
When I was a kid, I'd hunt just to spend time with my dad,
Why? Where was your dad?
He was always working,
And, you know, he had seven other kids,
Look,
I've seen a lot of players,
In the end, they're all the same,
They see their coach as a father,
That's why you always had problems,
You wanted all the love for yourself,
Of course, with seven brothers,
Well,
I'm not sure, really,
Don't worry, while I'm here, there's only one strategy,
Everyone passes you the ball, and you score,
Do you like that strategy?
What is it?
Nothing, it's just that we're happy,
About what?
That you play with us, We still can't believe it,
Come on, let's play then,
Let's go!
Maybe we'll even win, huh?
Roberto, make me happy,

JANUARY 2002
I've been watching you, You're in shape,
Almost the Baggio I used to train,
I'm well, Coach,
Also thanks to Mazzone,
You know what they say?
He's the poor man's Trapattoni,
No, Carlo would say that I'm the rich man's Mazzone,
It's true,
So, you want me to tell you that I'm taking you to the World Cup?
It's six months away, Roby, That's a long time,
I know, I realize that,
I only ask that you'll keep me in mind
when you'll make your choices,
Giovanni, you know this,
This is Roby's last chance,
If he keeps playing like this, I mean…
Very well, if you're fit, I'll take you,
I guarantee it,
This is the only thing I can tell you,
It's enough,
Brescia is still putting up a fight, looking for the tying goal,
Come, Mom,
Yes, I'll be right there, Don't move,
Don't move,
Giunti goes long,
He tries a nice through ball that sets up Tare,
Back pass for the arriving teammate…
-I told you not to move, -Mom?
Dad got hurt,
Hi,
Hi, Andreina,
How is he?
The surgeon says he wants to see him tomorrow morning,
No,
What, no?
He says that he doesn't want another surgery,
that he can't take it anymore,
What's this all about?
It's over, That's it,
Are you telling Master Ikeda?
What?
That you gave up on the World Cup in Japan, in his home,
Roby, this is your World Cup,
FIFA allowed 23 players, Shit, they did it for you,
I'm too old for another surgery,
Your face was in the mud when you hurt yourself, Roby,
This is the image the world saw,
Really, the entire world saw it,
Baggio crying with his face in the mud,
I don't know if you're okay with that, but I'm not,
So, now you get up,
you fight,
and even just for a minute, you play again,
This is the example,
This is the image to leave behind, Baggio, on the field, standing,
With your head held high,
The surgery lasted an hour and a half,
We reconstructed the cruciate ligament
and removed the meniscus,
How did it go?
Well, In six months, you can be back on the field,
I can do it in three,
What's he doing?
When your dad gets his mind on something,
he loses it,
Let's get him before he hurts himself again,
Roby, please,
Roby, come on,
-No, I can do it, -Really,
-I'm walking, -It's too soon, Come on,
I'll lean on you,
Vale! Come here, please, Mattia!
I'll give you three steps,
HEAL IN THREE MONTHS
HEAL MIRACULOUSLY
Leave it alone, poor thing, Come on,
"Where my capacities end, there begins my faith,
A strong faith sees the invisible,
believes the incredible, and receives the impossible,"
Roberto, make me happy,
-No, Pep, we can't do this, -Yes,
There's only one captain,
Move it, I want to win this game!
Let's go, come on!
What are you doing out here?
And you?
Not watching,
I can't watch either,
If he gets hurt again…
He got in his mind that he wants to go to the World Cup,
He's more stubborn than an Alpine mule,
I think I know where he got it from,
If he loses again on penalties, he better not come back,
Don't kid around like that,
…the shot from Toni, the save,
Toni again for Baggio!
Baggio, he scores!
Roberto Baggio!
Goal!
Yes!
MAY 2002
It was all extraordinary,
First Pep gave you the captain's armband,
That's out of protocol, you can't do that,
Then, two goals in 20 minutes,
First one, bicycle kick, Top corner,
My goodness,
Second one, easy,
Mattia would've scored that one,
But it has to be said, that wasn't a rebound,
It was the ball declaring its love for the predestined,
Who is it?
Trapattoni,
Hello, Coach?
I'm well, thanks,
But you told me,
Got it,
Yes, Thanks,
Roby?
He was bullshitting me,
"If you're fit, I'll take you,"
What the fuck more could I have done?
What more could I have done than this?
Nothing, that's it,
You did everything that was humanly possible and then some,
It took you 77 days to get back on the pitch,
He got it wrong, He didn't get that you're a symbol,
A symbol,
I can't believe it,
Fuck,
Should we hold a press conference, Roby?
What are you doing?
Roby?
Roby,
Roby, will you stop?
Roby,
You were right,
It's the journey,
The journey,
You're not even that pissed,
I'd lose my mind over something like this,
Anger doesn't accomplish anything,
Who said that? Buddha?
I'm sorry,
I promised you I'd win the World Cup,
You were three years old,
You were asleep,
You didn't even see Italy versus Brazil,
You mean, I never made you that promise?
No,
Are you kidding?
Why did you tell me that?
Because you had something I never had,
Talent,
I didn't stop cycling because of you guys,
Not at all,
I was mediocre, that's it,
But you had a gift,
Something that's one in a million,
But you didn't have a goal,
Something that would keep you going through tough times,
And I gave you a goal,
You're telling me
that scene that you told me,
on which I've based only my entire life,
you made it up,
I was afraid you didn't have the character,
You seemed fragile,
It seemed that you'd play well just to hear that you're good,
Look, if that was your only goal…
Come here, you're scaring the ducks,
In this moment, I feel a strong urge to shoot you,
Don't shoot too high this time too,
Fuck off,
This World Cup, after all…,
You have something better, You know what?
That people love you,
I know I wasn't the father you wanted,
But I had to prepare you for life,
It's not easy for people like us who have nothing,
Yes, I understand, but…
"But," There's always a but, Roby,
I did what I could,
What I knew,
I mean, I must've done something good too,
And I can finally tell you,
Tell me what? That you're not my dad?
That you were good,
Thank you,
-Good morning! -Good morning,
How much?
-Fifty, please, -Very well,
You can pay at the cashier inside,
I'll go,
Good, you pay,
These are the 23 players called up for the Korea and Japan World Cup,
-Yes, Roberto Baggio is out… -He's crazy, How can you not take Baggio?
He's leaving the best one home,
Coach Trapattoni decided to leave him behind,
-Good morning, -Good morning,
Fifty euros on pump four,
Thank you,
We thank our correspondent,
I fear this choice won't be very popular with the Italians…
Sign here,
Roby,
thank you for everything,
Thank you,
Bye,
Guys, is that Baggio?
What do you mean, Baggio?
-Was it really Baggio? -Yes,
Roberto Baggio!
Roberto!
Roby,
-You're awesome, -Thank you,
More than twenty years in football…
He should've called you up, Roberto,
-He should've, -Thanks,
More than twenty years Waiting for that penalty…
You're awesome, Roberto!
Roberto Baggio!
To discover that life…
Thank you,
Was the full game
Was in the ray of sunshine…
Roberto Baggio!
That fired up your childhood dreams
It was in the wind That moved your ponytail
And to us that was already A sign of the divine
It was finding a place
In the middle of an endless field
And finding the joy
When time seemed to have run out
It was falling and getting up Accepting the pain
Feeling like an embrace Coming from the heart
Of those who saw you Enchant the world with a football
Without ever hiding The man behind the champ…
Thank you to my teacher of life Daisaku Ikeda,
to my parents, to my wife Andreina,
to my three wonderful children,
and to all the people with whom I created a deep bond of affection and friendship,
And then there's all the passion
And that blind and crazy determination
So the destination
Sometimes is an obsession…
BAGGIO IS NUMBER ONE!
And scars and trophies…
We'd like to give our infinite thanks to Sensei Ikeda and his wife
for this acknowledgment, that makes us really happy,
which we want to dedicate and share with all the fellow believers in Italy,
In the middle of an endless field
To find the joy
When time seemed to have run out
One of the best careers in the history of Italian football ends here,
Leaving the field for the last time,
maybe the most beloved player in Italian football,
surely one of the best of all time,
The man behind the champ
You know, Roberto After all, all this love
It's the fruit of the courage
Of the champ who touched every ball
As if it was life
I know, it can seem an exaggeration
But even that penalty
Taught me something about life
