When I first supported Milan 1987-88, I was not a "total whole" fan of the team. I was more in awe with Napoli's Maradona (but not the team). I did not have a football team to like at that time. But like you said, Baresi "showed me the light", and the way Il Grando gracefully sweeps the behind the backline facinates me. Through him, I began to know the team and also the flair of Gullit. Van Basten somehow did not kick-off well a season later. Come 88-89, my hero was Rijkaard because of his attitudes towards the game: cool and at the same time, physically imposing.
Nice to see him back at San Siro last night and I'm not even sorry that his Barcelona lost to Milan!
FORZA MILAN!
