The robbery incident was the turning point in the life of Roberto Baggio

Retired Italian star Roberto Baggio confirmed that the major transformations in his life began since he moved from the house in which he grew up with his family, explaining that living in a small and limited space was a natural part of their lifestyle, but it later constituted a turning point in his view of things. He pointed out that this experience made him more aware of the importance of transmitting values ​​and knowledge to his family, especially his children, as they are the future, which helped them build their personalities and reach where they are today.

During his participation in the World Sports Summit in Dubai, Baggio recalled one of the most difficult moments his family went through, when their house was robbed last summer. He explained that the incident left a real feeling of danger among all family members, especially since he was the only one who was not in the house at the time. He added that the way his father dealt with the situation strengthened their family ties, and made them realize that severe shocks may sometimes be the beginning of fundamental changes in life.

Baggio explained that since last March, the family has returned to its normal lifestyle, with his daughter assuming the role of agent and manager of his business and some aspects related to his media presence. He pointed out that her experience in public relations and working with influencers in the fields of fashion and digital content helped him organize his projects and manage his accounts on social media in a modern and effective manner.

Baggio stressed that the relationship he has with his daughter is based on trust and mutual respect, stressing that family ties in Italy give the relationship between the father and his children a special depth and human warmth, and reflect how the past can coexist with the future in a balanced and beautiful way.

Baggio spoke about his continuing influence in the world of football, explaining that he met many stars of his generation and previous generations, in addition to great legends in the game, describing those meetings as emotional and touching, because of the feelings of love and mutual respect they carry. He stressed that he always strives to act with an open heart and sincere passion for football, and to be loyal to the values ​​he believed in throughout his career.

For her part, his daughter Valentina spoke about the impact of stardom and long absences during his professional career on the family relationship, noting that she sometimes felt jealous after his retirement because of the many commitments and attention he received. But she explained that her move to university and then her return during the Corona pandemic gave the family an opportunity to get closer again, as they spent more time together and had deep conversations about life, which helped them rebuild the relationship stronger.

Baggio concluded his speech by emphasizing that working with the family requires double effort, but at the same time it carries great human value, explaining that love and mutual respect make all challenges surmountable. He added that recalling his career is not linked to one specific moment, but rather to an integrated experience of transformations and challenges, stressing that what makes the real difference is how to deal with difficult moments, because they are what determine the features of the future.

In another context, Baggio touched on the reality of Italian football, pointing out the clear differences between the past and the present, and said that the participation in the 1990, 1994 and 1998 tournaments was based on the existence of a stable basic structure for the team around which the rest of the elements were built, which is no longer available today in the same way. He added that reducing reliance on foreign players and giving more space to local talent, especially young people, represents a necessary step to address the current decline, in light of the lack of opportunities available to Italian players within the league.

At the conclusion of his speech, he stressed that the combination of the ancient sporting heritage and modern management has become an essential element for preserving the value of any sports legend, and ensuring its continued positive impact on new generations inside and outside the stadiums.
