DUBAI (United Arab Emirates) – Alessandro Del Piero what an interview Roberto Baggio. It happened in Dubai on the occasion of World Sports Summit with the “Divine Pigtail” who, after attending the Super Cup final in Riyadh, flew to the Emirates where he had a long chat with the other great Juventus legend. Del Piero – before starting the conversation – told an anecdote from when the two played together at Juventus: “We spoke in Venetian dialect. We were almost neighbors but I was a child and he was the absolute champion“. Then, he leaves the floor to Baggio, who starts from the terrible night of June 20, 2024, the day of the robbery suffered at home: “People wondered where I had ended up but at the end of my career I felt the need to live simply, close to my family and my land. Then, recently, there was a very tough episode. I’m talking about the home robbery suffered by six people in 2024: it changed my way of seeing things. In those months the desire to tell more to my family and my children was born in me. They had to know who I really was, and that’s why we are here together today: it’s the “fault” of Valentina, my daughter. This experience has united us even more, we share many things that give new energy to our relationship. Being a parent is the most difficult task, you often make mistakes, but love for your family always comes out“.

Valentina: “We have started to change”

Also present at the event was his daughter Valentina who spoke about her role in her father’s communication and social media, returning again to the bad moment of the robbery: “I was the only one not at home when the robbery happened and I saw how my father reacted. It was a shock for all of us and so, nine months ago, we started to change something: we travel together, in Italy and abroad. Not every evil has a silver lining: now I take care of dad’s social media and his communication. It makes me proud to see how many former footballers and his old teammates ask him for a photo with great emotion when they meet him“.
