	Gabriel Batistuta
		Così, quando passa al Boca Junior nel 1990, quella suonata da Batistuta è tutta un'altra musica: molto dolorosa per le orecchie degli avversari che si vedono infilare tredici gol in ventinove partite.
		Galvanizzato Batistuta ricambia con un'infilata di gol memorabile che porta l'Argentina a vincere la Coppa America nel 1991: è proprio Gabriel a salire sul podio di capocannoniere.
		Gabriel non è infatti uomo che ragiona per calcolo o egoismi personali, ma che sceglie in base al cuore, al sentimento, e alla serietà degli impegni assunti.

	Current Biography International Yearbook 2002 — Sample Profile
		The eldest of four children, and only son, of Osmar Batistuta, a slaughterhouse worker and chicken farmer, and Gloria Batistuta, a school secretary, Gabriel Batistuta was born on February 1, 1969 in the small city of Avellaneda, in Argentina's Santa Fe region, north of Buenos Aires.
		Unfortunately for Batistuta and his teammates, Argentina's winning streak came to an end on June 7 when they lost to England, 1-0; the team was eliminated from the tournament on June 12, after a 1-1 tie with Sweden prevented their advance to the second round.
		Batistuta has expressed little interest in coaching or managing after his retirement from active play; instead, he and his father have purchased a farm in Reconquista--known as "Batistuta and Batistuta"--where he hopes to one day return to enjoy a simple life in the outdoors.

		To me Batistuta is no more than a decent striker.
		anyone who has been lucky to witness Batistuta's feats before his star started declining in Rome and before he became a circus animal at Inter, will say that he was indeed an awesome player.
		Batistuta no doubt declined in Rome but I still think he was entertaining during his days there.
