Carlo Bigatto: I Want to earn Juventus

Bigatto Carlo is the first player awarded the title of Legend of the top 50 by Juventus legend. This player was born on 20 August 1895, two years before the birth Juventus.

Before you continue reading this article you need to remember that the legends of the era Bigatto Carlo had no life as interesting as a football player today. At his era Bigatto, Juventus have not the power of football is to be respected as it is now. Football has not become an industry that makes money for all beings involved. Not a professional football player dreams of small children in Europe. Football was purely a hobby, born of perseverance and pure love for someone to not stop running and kicking a ball.

Do not imagine a legend in this era treasures shine, no wife paid model & still play despite diligent twitter. Do not imagine Juventus in this era as a great team where all players want to play in it. If the story of frenetic life of a footballer you are looking for, believe me you will not find here. Those who defend Juventus in the era Bigatto is purely out of love, which eventually gave birth to the greatness of the history of Juventus now. They play and live in simplicity, but do not ever doubt their spirit. The spirit that now we know called lo Spirito Juve! A foundation was born in the era of value and continue to deliver Juventus Bigato glorious as it is today.

After doing a little research about Calro Bigatto, we are increasingly convinced that the values ​​adopted for Juventus all the time never changes. Players who believed they were defending bianconeri are always willing to sacrifice for the team and be a role model both on and off the field.

When viewing a photo next to this Bigatto, who first comes to mind is Paolo Montero. A firm figure, brutal, uncompromising, ferocious, well-respected friend and opponent. But in fact the media was described as a highly Bigato friendly, loyal and willing to sacrifice. Really? Let's see.

Bigatto started playing football on the campus "San Giuseppe" which indeed was often given birth to Juventus players. In short Bigatto started playing since 1913 to 1931. This legendary founder never tasted playing with Juventus (Donna & Collino) and legend in the era of the early 1930s heyday. After fasting for 20 years since his first scudetto Juventus (1905) Bigatto deliver joined Juventus feel second scudetto in 1925-26 season. So since 1913 Bigatto playing for 13 years just feel the first degree. Remarkably for the past 13 years continues to faithfully defend Bigatto Juventus to feel again the second scudetto 5 years later (1930-31). Bigatto during his career playing for one team only, that is Juventus. New at the age of 35 years Bigatto forced to retire because of his physical condition is no longer possible to play on the field.

In his career Bigatto played in several positions. Began his career as a striker and after the First World War (World War I) moved into midfield to eventually become a defender. Bigatto also known as a very charismatic player, this is what causes Bigatto appointed as Juventus captain at the time. More than just a captain, Bigato also became an icon of that era.

Since its debut on 12 October 1912 to retire on December 21, 1930, a player who can play in several positions have been playing as much as 237 times over 17 years (13 seasons) in black and white uniforms. Juventus deliver Bigatto contribute to a higher level when the Agnelli family first became involved in managing the La Vecchia Signora in 1923.

History records Bigatto Carlo had a habit of smoking, smoking is not unusual for a day Bigatto can spend 140 (read: one hundred forty) cigarettes. Do not ask how it is possible because we also feel shocked. Then how could it allow players to the club when smoking so much? The reason is simple, the club can not cut salaries or fined Bigato because these players are not willing to be paid.

For Bigatto, could play for his favorite team is giving satisfaction. Bigatto even issued a statement "How can they pay for my love to the team?" Is a very Bigatto upholds freedom, he did not want because of money and freedom and love in doubt. As a result of its refusal to be paid, then Bigatto nicknamed "il dilettante" or "The Amateurs" is born of love for her fans at the time. Amateur players do not have to be paid, they play with heart, something like that.

For the record 20 football players in the era's always had a side job. Revenues from football did not amount to much. Bigatto job is as a driver / driver.

Another advantage Bigatto is keen to see the talent of young players. One proof is now Gianpiero Combi Bigatto advised to move the position to be a goalkeeper. Corbi was originally a winger, but thanks to the advice of the then record Corbi Bigatto history as one of the legendary goalkeeper who once owned Juventus and Italy after successfully delivering the first Italian to win the World Cup in 1934.

Not only as a player, after three seasons back to Juventus Bigatto retired as coach to replace Carlo Carcano at the end of the 1934-35 season and the complete triumph of Juventus won the Scudetto with five consecutive seasons since 1930-31.

Juventus official website notes that Carlo Bigatto died in Torino on 16 September 1942 after dedicating his life to Juventus. Juventus is a great team because of the history. Bigatto legends such as the one who has laid a strong foundation at the beginning of this team stands.

All memories, all the joy of victory and to be honest even some bitter memories. I can see it all today. But at some point begin to fade and almost disappear when warm hug in the final game in Turin. This picture tells it all, a photo that depicts all the conditions that I want to have forever. A photo taken on May 13th of this has been etched in the hearts. Not be eliminated.

Some time ago before going on holiday I emptied my locker at Vinovo. Upon leaving the training center I stopped at the location where normally many of you who have been waiting for just asking for autographs, taking pictures together or just a handshake. No matter the scorching hot weather, heavy rain or snow. But this time it was my turn to stop by and say goodbye and thank you for all you've done for me.

Players come and go, but Juventus still there. Team-mates I was still there and I wish the best for them. I will always be a loyal supporter of them. You the fans are still there because you guys are the real Juventus. Save the jersey which has always been my love and will remain unloved forever and ever. I always appreciate that jersey without any dispensation or tolerance. I'm happy there are others who can wear it for me. In addition, more important is that the number "10" on the jersey, because the name will be printed on the jersey was months away my name. I'm also happy for the players who will wear next season. I'm happy that somewhere - either in Italy or in other parts of the world these days, someone is dreaming of wearing that jersey. I would be very pleased if anyone who has followed me, as I have followed the trail the other champions, other examples and other legends who never wear it.

Starting tomorrow I am no longer a Juventus player, but I will remain a part of you.

Now it's time to start a new adventure. I am very excited about the same as 19 years ago.

Good-bye and thank you for everything.
