There was also Roberto Baggio to say goodbye to Paolo rossi during the funeral a Vicenza. Baggio was very emotional during the service and outside the Cathedral of Santa Maria Annunciata he hugged Massaro, Antognoni, Gravina, Maldini and Conti.
Yesterday Roberto Baggio greeted the World Cup champion with a memoir published in the Gazzetta dello Sport. “The sweet memories of when I was 10 years old resurface,” Baggio writes, “preserved for decades in one of the many albums in my memory. Like when my dear father Fiorindo, who died just a few months ago, traveled almost 12 kilometers, two by bicycle, to reach Vicenza starting from Caldogno. Go to the stadium to see the great Paolo Rossi ». “Those were the years when I cradled my dreams,” recalls the Divin Codino. I thought that one day I would play in that stadium too, that I would wear that nice shirt with the big R on my chest. Imitating Paolo Rossi, I could have achieved what he could achieve. Win a world championship in the final against Brazil. Like Paolo Rossi did against Germany. Win the Ballon d’Or. Like Paolo Rossi. Winning in a world that increasingly needs the smile of Paolo Rossi ».

«Today Paolo flew to heaven leaving behind everything that good football can offer. Paolo has given millions of Italians a dream, which I did not achieve ”, continues Baggio, concluding:“ Hello Paolo, who knows if you will wear your football boots when you are in heaven. I hope so, I hope your smile comes too. Here we will remember him for a long time.
