Imaginez avoir aujourd’hui un Franco Baresi dans votre club. Un joueur qui arrive à 14 ans, devient titulaire à 18, puis capitaine à 22. Il devient l’un des plus forts à son poste, mais refuse de partir malgré deux descentes en deuxième division. Il guérit d’une maladie du sang, refuse toutes les offres qui se présentent à lui, se bat et fait remonter votre équipe par deux fois. Il vous emmène quelques années plus tard au sommet avec trois Ligue des champions et six championnats, entre autres. Il continue de rester fidèle. Il raccroche après deux décennies et 719 matchs sous le même maillot, rend le brassard et voit son numéro retiré à jamais. Il fête en 2024 cinquante ans sans interruption au sein du même club. Il meurt en 2026, à 66 ans. Comme son numéro 6. Il est célébré tant par ses adversaires que ses anciens coéquipiers. Il est admiré tant par ses supporters que ceux des autres équipes. Il s’en va sous les applaudissements d’une foule qui chante qu’il n’y aura à jamais qu’un seul capitaine. x.com/fiammycicogna/…

“1994 Şampiyon Kulüpler Kupası finali öncesi Atina’ya doğru stadyuma giden takım otobüsündeydik. Karşımızda, herkesin ‘Rüya Takım’ dediği Barcelona vardı. Franco Baresi ve Alessandro Costacurta cezalıydı. Marco van Basten ile Gianluigi Lentini ise sakattı. Kimse bize şans tanımıyordu. Tam o sırada bizimle birlikte otobüste bulunan Franco Baresi beni, Roberto Donadoni’yi, Filippo Galli’yi ve Mauro Tassotti’yi yanına çağırdı. İlk cümlesi şuydu: — İyi dinleyin. Herkes bizi bitmiş görüyor. Cruyff kupayı şimdiden kaldırdığını sanıyor. Ama savunmaları aşılabilir. Kanatları doğru kullanırsak onları zorlarız. Öndeki iki oyuncuları, Romário ve Stoichkov, sürekli hareket ediyor. Romario’yu mutlaka etkisiz hale getirin. Savunmayı önde kurun çünkü Stoichkov geriye dönüşlerde yavaş kalıyor. Top onlardayken Romário’ya sürekli baskı yapın, Stoichkov’un başında ise her zaman bir oyuncu olsun. Savunma organizasyonunda da Paolo’yu takip edin. Sonra bir kâğıt çıkardı ve sahada yapmamız gereken bütün hareketleri tek tek çizmeye başladı. O an bana büyük bir sorumluluk yükledi. Bu, adeta kaptanlık mirasının bana devredildiği andı. Üstelik bunu bir Şampiyon Kulüpler Kupası finalinden hemen önce yapıyordu. Daha sonra Fabio Capello yanımıza geldi. Gülümsedi ve sadece şunu söyledi: — Çocuklar, kaptan zaten söylenmesi gereken her şeyi söyledi. Hadi gidip o kupayı alalım. Sahaya çıktık. Barcelona’yı 4-0 mağlup ettik. Üstelik rakibimiz maç boyunca kalemize neredeyse tek bir isabetli şut bile atamadı. O gece kupayı sahada kazandık ama zaferin temelleri, Atina’ya giden o takım otobüsünde atılmıştı. O, sadece sahadaki en büyük kaptanlardan biri değildi; saha dışında da gerçek bir liderdi.” — Maldini

RIP Franco Baresi. Maybe the greatest centre back ever and a Milanese icon. You will see clips all day today of the ‘94 WC Final and his one man offside trap. You should watch them, there may never be a more intelligent defender. Like the 6, Franco will live on in Rossonero lore.

If you miss 3 World Cups and then think ‘yeah we should tell Paolo Maldini how to do his job’ and ‘Pep Guardiola is not worth the money’ then honestly you do not deserve footballing success

@NimaTavRood It depends entirely, in my view, what was said to him when he was hired. If he was sold the green light and then had to report to a committee, he’s been lied to. If he went in expecting to lead and wasn’t told he’d need to be collaborative, that’s on him.

The FIGC is the greatest mid management of resources in international footballing history. 4 World Cups and several generations of great players and history. A formerly elite league that completely fumbled the 21st century in a way only Blockbuster have 3 missed WC, no coach

🚨 Italy’s coaching search gets even crazier… Gazzetta reports Paolo Maldini could resign if he’s not allowed to appoint Pirlo as Italy’s next coach. Reminder: Maldini only took the job 16 days ago.

Maxey-VJ-Brown-Bron-Embiid is a really interesting 5 but I don’t trust them for 6 consecutive months and three playoff rounds

Is there a more fitting end to Neymar’s career internationally than a superfluous penalty where he points to himself as Brazil lose a game they should’ve won? An apt bow on the wasted gift he was blessed with.

Maxey-VJ-Brown is so so fucking good. Perfect team to try and take down NYK, even with Embiid in and out of the line up.

Every workplace has a person that is promoted beyond their skill set. It’s not their fault, it’s just circumstance leveraged alongside managerial incompetence. For Germany and Arsenal, that’s Kai Havertz.

Like the dude had Tottenham a win away from winning the European Cup, fixed Chelsea for like 4 months and now has given this bunch of random American footballers their best WC performances literally ever - how does he not have the RM job for September?
