This Page is dedicated to my favourite soccer player in the world! Gabriel Omar Batistuta of Argentina
Batistuta is one of the best strikers in the world and I like his style -- he's fearless, powerful and sets his sails straight for goal,a real team leader.
Prolific striker known as "Batigol" who is
the Argentinian squad's glamour boy,
with 38 goals in 59 games for Argentina's internationals,
he is Argentina's all-time leading
scorer, ahead of Maradona, but was
mystifyingly left out of the national side
for months during qualifying for France 98!
Argentine players (L to R) Nestor Sensini, Diego Simeone, Gabriel Batistuta and Claudio Lopez celebrate after
Lopez scored the game-winning goal in their friendly match against Brazil at Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro
April 29. Argentina won the match 1-0 on Lopez' goal in the 84th minute of regulation. The referee (2nd L) looks on
from behind.
