Roberto Baggio crowns Lautaro Martinez
The words of Roberto Baggio at the Festival of Sport
Roberto Baggio, a guest on the first day of the Festival dello Sport in Trento, praised Lautaro Martinez: "I had already seen him play in Argentina in Racing when he was 18 years old, when he scored 3 goals in Libertadores. At that time he was not called up for the World Cup and in an interview he said that he was happy with what he had done anyway and would have time to go. Chepeau. Today he è the symbol of Inter: besides scoring goals, he è on every ball. È an extraordinary player".
Honeyed words also for Luciano Spalletti: "Last year Napoli played wonderful soccer, the Scudetto è was deserved. I hope that Luciano Spalletti can repeat himself at the helm of Italy as well. At the level of champions, Italian soccer is coming back, but all in all we have never gone away even if at the national level we failed to qualify for the World Cup. All teams today want to play. Italy's problem is that a coach, no matter how well he plans the job, loses 3 games and gets kicked out. By culture we are too tied to the result. Inzaghi is doing very well, Pioli also. In the end only one team wins and the others look poor, but in Italy soccer è difficult".
Finally, he dedicated a thought to Carlo Mazzone: "He was a clean and honest person. È he was adored by all footballers precisely because he embodied fatherly values. You couldn’t help but love him. Brescia è a kind of center of soccer becauseé after me and Mazzone there are the various Pep Guardiola and De Zerbi. A credit è undoubtedly to Gino Corioni, the president. He was light years ahead".
