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.

Baresi merita tutti gli elogi di questo mondo...ma la prestazione che fece Franco in finale mi sembra che sia sulla stessa linea di quella che offrì Cannavaro in semifinale del 2006 contro la Germania... quindi elogiate Franco quanto volete ma non insultate Cannavaro per piacere!! Non lo merita!
Baresi è vero fece una grande partita considerando anke che 20gg prima si era rotto il menisco contro la Norvegia...la gazzetta dello sport quel match gli diede anche 9 in pagella ... ma Baggio mi spiace dirlo quella partita fu un fantasma, aveva troppa paura e si fece condizionare oltremisura dal suo affaticamente muscolare... anche se sappiamo tutti che fu proprio lui a portarci in quella finale.
But so is Cannavaro(Legend). His inspirational performances lifted the defence to a higher level. He is not a 37 year old captain of the Italy side for no reason.
