Chapter 28 27. Saki the Vengeful

Baggio was a patriotic and dedicated man who desperately wanted the opportunity to serve his country.Although his performance in the 1995-1996 season was not very good, he still hoped to represent the Italian national team in the 1996 European Football Championship and make up for the regret of losing the championship in the World Cup.However, his name could not be found in the list announced by the national team coach Sacchi, which made him extremely sad. It turns out that the head coach Sacchi is a very vengeful guy. Two years have passed, but Sacchi is still brooding over the penalty kick in the 1994 World Cup.

Due to the loss of the World Cup champion that he had seen, Sacchi received a lot of criticism after returning to China. As a head coach, he should have fully borne it, but he vented his grievances on Baggio, thinking that Baggio Ji Shefei's penalty kick made him wronged.Afterwards, he criticized Baggio many times, so that the harmonious relationship between the two deteriorated rapidly. In the national team, he always let Baggio stay on the bench regardless of whether he was in good or bad condition, and would not let him go and reuse him.The relationship honeymoon between Bar-Sa is over.This time Sacchi did even better, simply kicking Baggio out of the national team and not allowing him to participate in the European Cup.Baggio originally planned to perform well in the European Cup to relieve the sulking that he has not been reused by club coaches in recent years, but Sacchi was deprived of such an opportunity. Can this not make him sad?In an interview with reporters, Baggio said very sadly: "It is impossible for a person to be perfect, and I am the same. My state is not very good recently, but I love football and I am eager to play for my country. I believe that I still have the ability to do this. My skills and ability are no worse than any player in the current national team. I am a fatal blow, which makes me very sad." However, although Sacchi stubbornly abandoned Baggio, Baggio himself did not give up on himself. "I will never look down on myself because of this. I will still love football as always. I dedicate everything to the fans and football." Dissatisfaction, they criticized Saki for being stubborn and narrow-minded.In this regard, Sacchi defended: "After the World Cup, Baggio has not performed well, and this time the European Cup Italy team is divided into a death group. It is a good idea to bring a player who is not in good condition to England. It's not worth it. I don't want to joke about the fate of the national team!" In this Italian national team, famous players such as Baresi, Vialli, Pagliuca and Signori also did not join the team for various reasons expedition.Sachiman thought that his "carefully" selected national team could take the Delaunay Cup back to Italy. Unexpectedly, the Italian team did not even pass the group stage. They were in Group C with Germany, Russia, and the Czech Republic. He failed to enter the top two of the group and was eliminated. He was ruined and returned to Italy in disgrace.In this regard, Baggio did not gloat, but felt even more distressed.Fortunately, Sacchi will not be able to stay in the national team for long, and the new coach may re-value his talents, but this is another story.
