Franco Baresi heroics - World Cup Final 1994

At 34 years of age, Franco Baresi's dream of winning the World Cup as captain lay in tatters as he limped off the field against Norway in the first round with a knee-injury. Surgery was needed. The Milan-legend made a remarkable recovery and was declared fit on the day of the Final. Coach Arrigo Sacchi did not hesitate but added his captain to the starting line-up against the mighty Brazil with Romario/Bebeto up front. Baresi responded with one of the finest World Cup performances by a defender ever. He did everything right.
Everything but one kick..

Talk about God-like defending. The man is playing with an injury on a superhot pitch, against the best team in the world, reading every ball, breaking down every Brazil attack, jumping in the way of every cross, covering every blade of grass at the back, in midfield and on the attack. A loyal, one club, one country man, Franco Baresi is the best defender there ever was.

@@hendipray1016 as a Brazilian I can say that Brazil was not the best team in the world in those years, in the qualifiers to qualify for the world cup, Brazil was very bad, the fans criticized a lot and we classified in the last game thanks to the epic performance of romario. In the world cup we were not confident that we would win from Holland; not to mention this final against Italy, which was endless emotion, we were not favorites in this game and the wrong penalty of Baggio was one of the most exciting moments of my life as a football fan (and as a Brazilian of course)

That's the problem with some other people, they always thought that defending is all about tackling, getting the ball out of the offense but that's not it. It's the ability to read the game, when to and not to execute a tackle. Like the great Maldini (Franco Baresi's mentee) said “If I have to make a tackle then I have already made a mistake.”. Just watch how Baresi commands the whole defense as a captain against a full offensive Brazil.

Baresi fu leggendario in quella partita, eroico nell'abnegazione che ci mise dopo l'infortunio per tornare a giocare una partita in cui fu il migliore in campo. L'errore dal dischetto, le sue lacrime, aggiungono epicità ad uno di quei momenti che restano nella memoria di tutti e nella storia dello sport. Possono esserci poesia e grandezza anche nella sconfitta e a volte sono così potenti che contano di più del risultato.

LESSON ON ITALIAN FOOTBALL Listen to me: italian style is not pure "defensive" but "waiting", in sense that we leave the ball at the opponent and we wait him to prepare counter-attack. THIS ISN'T BUS-PARKING or SURRENDER TO ATTACK. Bus-parking is not-italian exaggeration of italian style (Greece 2004, Chelsea 2012). Our style approves the presence of many strikers, includes collective actions and has produced the most spectacular matches in football history. It's a balanced mixture of strenght (defence), velocity (midfield) and technique (attack). It's had various phases, more or less defensive: 30s-50s = METODO (method) = 2 defenders more than english System // invention of Regista, a backward n°10 (like Pirlo) = 2 World Cups 60s-70s = CATENACCIO ("door-bolt") = one-on-one defence // invention of Libero (sweeper): an other regista, an attacking player, BEHIND THE DEFENCE LINE // only 2 attacking players (playmaker + striker) = 1 Euro Cup - 2°place WC 70s-80s = ZONA MISTA (mixed zone) = zone defence with single one-on-one against important players (ex: Gentile vs Maradona) // midfield more offensive // more strikers = 1 World Cup - 3°place WC - 4°place WC - 4°place EC 2 times 90s-2000s = ATTENDISMO ("waitism") = zone defence // midfield less offensive // only 2 strikers = 1 World Cup - 2°place EC Parenthesis of Sacchi (2°place WC) and Prandelli (2°place EC, the current) with change of philosophy = ball possession and making of play. But traditonal features survive however. Often "catenaccio" is used by haters just like insult with "mafia" and "spaghetti". Don't confuse "catenaccio" with THE BEST DEFENSIVE TRADITION OF THE WORLD, with the best legends of defence (ZOFF - ZENGA - BUFFON - BURGNICH - FACCHETTI - SCIREA - GENTILE - BERGOMI - BARESI - MALDINI - NESTA - CANNAVARO...). Respect for other cultures (Passing Game, Tiki-Taka, Total Football, Futebol Bailado...). STUDY FOOTBALL HISTORY, NOT FIFA-NIKE SPOTS. Italy * * * *

This has to be put in context, because it gives even more merit to what Baresi did. Romario and Bebeto were CRUSHING their opponents, look at what they did to Netherlands and Sweden, they couldn't be stopped. Romario at his best was an extremely gifted player and a cold-blooded killer inside the box. He made the best centre-backs throughout his career look silly, even Franco Baresi, in a Milan X PSV Champions Cup match. He was at his peak. And yet, with all that, Baresi, coming from knee surgery, was able to stop him. That was, for me, the greatest defending display of the history of the World Cup. He was flawless.

Baresi's angle and choice of stepping pattern, all determined by his brain stem, all hard-wired requiring no cpu clock cycles, ensured that in an instant he had channeled his man into oblivion while dragging his left foot in preparation for interception of the pass should it come.

My friend the problem here is to pay 90 million euros for McGuire, Manchester United seems to be managed by brainless people. I know that the Premier League has been the best championship for at least 10 years and therefore manages to generate more money than the others, but if you then throw away the resources in this way it would make you cry (I think United fans will agree). Speaking of Baresi's price in today's football, I think it would exceed the price of Van Dijk hands down (who if I'm not mistaken is the most expensive defender ever). even if this is a video of a match from 30 years ago, where you also see Baresi shooting the ball as far as possible (which is never done today), you can see that this player is not only a monster in terms of defense pure, but he also has the technical qualifications and ball touch of a modern defender, as well as going twice as fast as the others. Van Dijl only has height compared to him, otherwise there's no match...

@@ggmm6182 Oh u can,as the 94 showdown demonstrated! .McGrath wasn't playing a in a team wth the quality those two Legends had always at their disposal at AC Milani and for the Italian national team ..And as much as I admire both of those Italian legends,I wonder how they would have managed playing in the Irish team(which had some good&decent players like Andy Townsend,but many were "journeyman players") .No I think ur getting a bit too carried away because of the glamour which is attached to both of those players(Which is quite understandable).. If u look up a game from the 80's between Man U and Juve(a team filled with some real quality and steel-Michel Platini and claudio Gentile but a few)u see Paul Mcgrath producing a fantastic performance in Midfield(which was his original position at Man U)

@dangiambrone7350 3 жыл бұрын

That's not true. Sadly Baresi missed most of the tournament due to a knee injury which he picked up in only the second group game v Norway. Baggio was the main reason why Italy got to the final. Dino Baggio also chipped in with some very important goals in the competition.

He's the greatest defender of all time as far as I'm concerned. His anticipation, positioning and marking skills were superhuman. He was also a fantastic footballer, with great vision and good turn of pace. He could have easily been an equally great full back or central midfielder.

Vierchowod (sottovalutatissimo) che giocava nella Samp se potesse giocare oggi secondo me sarebbe in un grande team europeo. E te lo dice un Milanista.
