At FC Bayern, Joshua Zirkzee was considered a nine with little prospects – at FC Bologna he is developing so furiously that there are comparisons to Ronaldinho. Good for the people of Munich: They have a buyback option.
When Roberto Baggio sings a eulogy for a footballer, that means something. Baggio has a certain level of expertise when it comes to this sport; he has mastered it like no one else. The Italian was a creative mind in front of the man, his braids of hair blew almost as elegantly in the wind as he dribbled around his opponents. He is revered throughout the country, as is the case with former world footballers. But he probably shines brightest in Emilia-Romagna: the larger-than-life playmaker played for the rather small FC Bologna for a year, in the 1997/98 season. The Bolognese can hardly believe it to this day.
