The Story of Paolo Rossi - "Pablito" | Football Legends

Paolo Rossi was an Italian professional footballer who played as a forward. In 1982, he led Italy to the 1982 FIFA World Cup title, scoring six goals to win the Golden Boot as top goalscorer, and the Golden Ball for the player of the tournament. Rossi is one of only three players to have won all three awards at a World Cup, along with Garrincha in 1962, and Mario Kempes in 1978. Rossi was also awarded the 1982 Ballon d'Or as the European Footballer of the Year for his performances. Along with Roberto Baggio and Christian Vieri, he is Italy's top scorer in World Cup history, with nine goals overall.
At club level, Rossi was also a prolific goalscorer for Vicenza. In 1976, he was signed to Juventus from Vicenza in a co-ownership deal for a world record transfer fee. Vicenza retained his services, and he was the top goalscorer in Serie B in 1977, leading his team to promotion to Serie A. The following season, Rossi scored 24 goals, to become the first player to top the scoring charts in Serie B and Serie A in consecutive seasons. Rossi made his debut for Juventus in 1981, and went on to win two Serie A titles, the Coppa Italia, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, and the European Cup.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest Italian footballers of all time, Rossi was named in 2004 by Pelé as one of the Top 125 greatest living footballers as part of FIFA's 100th anniversary celebration. In the same year, Rossi placed 12th in the UEFA Golden Jubilee Poll. After he retired from football, he worked as a pundit for Sky, Mediaset Premium, and Rai Sport, until his death on 9 December 2020.

He emerged as a champion just out of the blue, during that unforgettable World Cup. One of our most legendary talents, for what concerns football.

Strange Sicilian music on this video. We talk about an Italian soccer player not a siciliaan. Next time use Italian music pls.. if you make a documentary about Pele you use African music?

[@SALTO1871]

You are right !!!

[@footballdays5548]

Pele is not African 😂

[@ChrisTenalach77777]

@@footballdays5548 his origin is African dude

[@kimgallagher6254]

Pretty sure Sicily is a part of Italy, but I have been wrong before........ Feel free to reply.

[@jaysimoes3705]

@@ChrisTenalach77777 His origin in Brasil. Not Africa. Or if it is, we all are Africans since that is where modern man originated. Sicily is Italy. So Sicilian music is about as apt is music from any other part of Italy.
