THE HERO BATISTUTA
Beautiful and recent field Batistuta published on the most important Bolivian newspaper. Enjoy 'Hero' withdrawn • • Argentine Gabriel Batistuta, known as' Batigol ', not strange football and spends his days in his native village, Reconquista Tuesday, 16 September 2008 Santa Cruz - Bolivia No, no, I'm in Argentina, I'm here, replied when asked to Batistuta where it is installed. Yes, a few months ago the former Argentine Scorer decided to leave the good life in the Australian city of Perth, to be installed after many years in his country, Reconquista, the town in the province of Santa Fe. It took 17 years for this International superstar decide to return to their roots. Batistuta now spends his days in this quiet city. Hence, unlike Buenos Aires, Rome or Florence, to name a few cities where it was once, you can walk quiet, without the surround him and ask for Autographs. It is the best known of all, but it is Gabriel, a neighbor over, when I was a little boy who played basketball dreaming of being Michael Jordan did not like it much football, until it was decided by the round starting at the club Platense Porvenir. If returned to his country for various reasons was because he was comodísimo in Perth, where they spent playing golf and devoted to his family, his children, and always doubted whether to return for safety. "Australia was beautiful, because people respect your space. Then there is the issue of security. I went to live there for the organization." So why again to Argentina? Much influenced some health problems of relatives, who took him to be close and assume other responsibilities. Since taking over the fields, the thousands of acres in which to invest and was also of the livestock, the number of employees who have Osmar along with his dad. Today we live in the new house he built in his hometown. There he is with his wife Irina and his four sons, Thiago, Lucas, Joaquin and Shamel. But not everything is perfect. While their children blunt vice soccer in the town, Gabriel suffers because it can not kick the ball with them. Proceeds from its large and vigorous career, 'Batigol' ended with problems in their ankles and it cost him up to walking, very recently had to be operated and even walk with crutch. Peleándola always with the idea of being able to play his favorite sport, as is golf, and also to the pole. Just in Reconquista began with the new venture, the creation of a center for these two sports to be called La Gloria, in tribute to his mother, a housewife and volunteer at the hospital. Gabriel is doing on the Internet, the current coach: "I took it seriously because there are two things that interest me: the psychology and management group. I said that the biggest secret that the coach has is how to say things at the right time . " Batistuta dreams of being a coach, but acknowledge that it has yet to be better prepared: "I do not miss football at all, just watch some matches, such as the recent European Championship. Get the lead now would be a nonsense. Today we do not need him, but if the choice comes I say yes because there are other motivations. " Beyond the everyday concerns, the former special player who speaks four languages (Castilian, Italian, English and Arabic) has time to recall some scarce importance from his past, when it could not get out on The Streets of Florence: "I lived away at the hill. And when you wanted to go to eat in a restaurant, warned that it would, I stopped at the door and I was going. It was uncomfortable, plus anything you said was right. 'I said I hit'. That takes you from reality. I never got to understand what a player has on people just by one goal. I appreciate that, I accept, as an example to work, but you have right when you say good day and at night, in " Even today remains the top Scorer of the Argentine selection, the whole pride, but "the record are to be overcome." And remember a single moment, beyond the titles won: "I remember the good. As the World 1994, when we were standing there in Boston, in a row to enter the stadium, behind Diego Maradona and with goose bumps. I will never forget that when watching TV for the 1990 World Cup in Italy, because he thought he was going to play the next. "He was not given any win World, or 94 or 98 or 2002. And without it, Argentina also failed in 2006, and still does not get Championships at older: "There are very good players, but we have to grow a little more. We can not believe the best, we have to accept reality. We are the best in South America with Brazil, but in Europe there are very good teams and we are not about them. " Emphasizes the children of their passion for soccer. Heir on the way |
