Goodbye Paolo rossi, hero of the World 1982. The former forward of Juventus me Milan died alone 64 yearsFor some time he had been battling an incurable disease. The heartbreaking announcement made by his wife takes the world of football and the fans by surprise. Pablito has linked his image to the unforgettable Spanish adventure of Italy of the technician Enzo Bearzot, which all centered around the fragile air thief attacker exploded four years earlier with the legendary Lanerossi Vicenza by Gibì Fabbri, capable of transforming it from a fast wing into a relentless bomber. Bearzot had pitched him as a rookie at the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, with success. Then the move to Perugia and the scandal of football betting 1980, which saw him disqualified and made him lose a season and a half.
After moving to Juventus and returning at the end of the 1981-82 season, Rossi arrived at the World Cup in precarious physical and psychological condition, but the Vecio protected him despite fierce criticism from the press. It was the Azzurri’s center forward, there were no discussions. And after a close tie without goals and the first game of the second dry phase against Argentina of Maradona, Rossi also gets up and turns Pablito. His career, perhaps his life, will be forever associated with the magical night of Sarrià, on July 5, 1982, where he goes down in history scoring the 3 decisive goals in Brazil by Falcao, Socrates and Zico. Italy had to win to go to the semifinals, Rossi takes her by the hand and becomes the nightmare of the Brazilians. It no longer stops, like Azzurri: two goals for Poland, one to Germany to Bernabéu in what seemed more like a procedure than a final. World champions, world champions, world champions, he shouted to the Madrid sky Nando martellini.
For three seasons Pablito set fire to Italy and Europe to the sound of flashes, lethal detours, and explosive shots. With Juventus from Giovanni trapattoni, next to the blue block of Zoff, Scirea, Gentile, Cabrini and Tardelli, and the stars Platini and Boniek, wins everything as the absolute protagonist: two championships, one Champions League (the bloody bloody Heysel, against Liverpool), a Recopa. In 1982, the magic year, after the title of top scorer in the World Cup comes the “right” Golden Ball. In 1985 his physique, which had always been undermined by the fragility of his knees, began to slow him down. Juve sells it to the president’s Milan Giussi Farina, who had launched it in Vicenza. It is a turbulent season for the Rossoneri, but here too he manages to make his mark, blinding, with a single feat: two goals in the derby againstBury. Closes at Verona, in 1987. From then on his life is a “normal” life, far removed from the spotlight of football, although he will be a valued commentator and television commentator for more than 30 years. Kind, polite, ironic. As light as on the field. Unforgettable, and not just for a generation of Italian fans.
