El goleador histórico de la Selección también se refirió a la celeste y blanca: "Lo que más triste me pone es no volver a escuchar el himno nacional en un estadio. No volver a cantarlo desde adentro de la cancha. Eso es algo de lo que aún no me puedo reponer. Ni siquiera desde que tomé la decisión de dejar la Selección".

Batisuta....you f*cking legend! Shame to see him go.

[pede54]

WHO???????..........


only kidding.............a legend for sure

 

[TheBlueBalla]

Eventhough he was an Argie, he was one of the best ever

Seriously though, a true legend of football, known by people who didnt even follow the sport (a la Pele or Maradona). Good luck to him, and i hope to see him back in italy soon as an assistant in Florence or Rome!

Oh, and not to break the pattern, i keel at the altar of BATIGOL:

:Bow: :Bow: :Bow:

My favourite ever non-Italian player. I really wished he'd have finished his career at Fiorentina this season

:Bow:

 

[muz88]

one of the gretest strikers to play the game, ******* amazing legend

:Bow: :Bow:

 

[Stotty]

absolute legend, a joy to watch. I'll always remember that stunning goal he scored against us when we came back from 3-1 down in the 99 season. Real shame to see him go.

I'd be interested in that comp marcus if you find one

 

[RUSI]

One of my heroes


I would have love to see him leave succeed more in Korea/Japan

Romario should take note

I can only echo what everyone else has said, great great player. He had it all really, great shot, strength, pace, aerial game and could use his feet too! He really was a once in a lifetime breed! :Bow:

 

[Klobb]

Hes a legend.
