}} Franco Baresi ((:ˈfraŋko baˈresi); born 8 May 1960 in Travagliato, Italy) is an Italian football youth team coach and a former player and manager. He played as a sweeper and as a central defender, and spent his entire 20-year career with Serie A club A.C. Milan, captaining the club for 15 seasons. He is considered one of the greatest defenders of all time, and was ranked 19th in World Soccer's list of the 100 greatest players of the twentieth century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.englandfootballonline.com/TeamHons/HonsWldSocPlyrsCent.html )〕 He won the Champions League 3 times, as well as 6 Serie A titles, 4 Supercoppa Italiana titles, 3 European Super Cups and 2 Intercontinental Cups. With Italy, he won the 1982 FIFA World Cup. He also played in the 1990 FIFA World Cup where he was named in the FIFA World Cup All-Star Team, finishing third in the competition. At the 1994 FIFA World Cup he was named Italy's captain and was an integral part of the team that reached the final, although he would miss a penalty in the resulting shoot-out, as Brazil lifted the trophy. Baresi also represented Italy at two UEFA European Championships, in 1980 and 1988, and at the 1984 Olympics, reaching the semi-finals on each occasion. The younger brother of former footballer Giuseppe Baresi, after joining the Milan senior team as a youngster, Franco Baresi was initially nicknamed "Piscinin", Milanese for "Little one"; due to his skill and success, he was later known as "Kaiser Franz", a reference to fellow legendary sweeper Franz Beckenbauer. In 1999, he was voted Milan's Player of the Century. After his final season at Milan in 1997, the club retired Baresi's shirt number 6. He was named by Pelé one of the 125 Greatest Living Footballers at the FIFA centenary awards ceremony in 2004. Baresi was inducted into the Italian Football Hall of Fame in 2013. ==Club career== Originally a Milan youth product, Baresi went on to spend his entire twenty year professional career with A.C. Milan, making his Serie A debut at the age of 17, during the 1977-78 season on 23 April 1978.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.acmilan.com/en/archive/show_player/Franco-Baresi )〕 He had initially been rejected by Inter, who chose his brother Giuseppe instead, while Milan signed Franco Baresi. The following season, he was made a member of the starting eleven, playing as a sweeper or as a centreback, winning the 1978-79 Serie A title, Milan's tenth overall, playing alongside Fabio Capello, and also Gianni Rivera, in what would be his last season at the club.〔 This success was soon followed by a dark period in the club's history, when Milan was relegated to Serie B twice during the early 1980s. Milan were relegated in 1980 for being involved in the match fixing scandal of 1980, and once again after finishing third-last in the 1981-82 season, after having just returned to Serie A the previous season, after winning the 1980-81 Serie B title. Despite being a member of the Euro 1980 Italy squad that had finished fourth, and the 1982 World Cup winning team, Baresi elected to stay with Milan, winning the Serie B title for the second time during the 1982-83 season, and bringing Milan back to Serie A. After Aldo Maldera and Fulvio Collovati left the club in 1982, Baresi was appointed Milan's captain, at the age of 22, and would hold this position for much of his time at the club, becoming a symbol and a leader for the team. During this temporary bleak period for Milan, Baresi did manage to win a Mitropa Cup in 1982, and reached the Coppa Italia final during 1984-85 season, although the team failed to dominate in Serie A.〔〔 During the end of the 1980s and the first half of the 1990s, Baresi was at the heart of a formidable all-Italian defence alongside Paolo Maldini, Alessandro Costacurta, Mauro Tassotti, and later, Christian Panucci, under managers Arrigo Sacchi and Fabio Capello, a defence which is regarded by many as the greatest of all time. When the attacking Dutch trio of Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit and Frank Rijkaard arrived at the club in the late 1980s, Milan began a period of domestic and international domination, and between 1987 and 1996, at the height of the club's success, the Milan squad contained many Italian and international stars, such as Roberto Donadoni, Carlo Ancelotti, Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard, and later, Demetrio Albertini, Dejan Savićević, Zvonimir Boban, Marcel Desailly, George Weah, Jean-Pierre Papin, Brian Laudrup, and Roberto Baggio. Under Sacchi, Milan won the Serie A title in 1987–88, with Baresi helping Milan to concede only 14 goals. This title was immediately followed by an Italian Supercup in 1988 the next season, and back to back European Cups in 1988–89 and 1989–90.〔 Baresi was also runner-up to team mate Van Basten for the Ballon d'Or in 1989, finishing ahead of his other team mate Frank Rijkaard, and was named Serie A Footballer of the Year in 1989–90. Milan also reached the Coppa Italia final during the 1989-90 season.〔〔 Baresi went on to win four more Serie A titles with Milan under Fabio Capello, including three consecutive titles, during the 1991–92, 1992–93 and the 1993–94 seasons. Baresi helped Milan win the 1991-92 title undefeated, helping Milan to go unbeaten for an Italian record of 58 matches. Milan also scored a record 74 goals that season. During the 1993-94 season, Baresi helped Milan concede a mere 15 goals in Serie A, helping the club to finish the season with the best defence. Baresi also won three consecutive Italian Supercups under Capello, in 1992, 1993, and 1994. Milan also reached three consecutive UEFA Champions League Finals during the 1992-93, 1993-94 and 1994-95 seasons, losing out to Marseille in the 1992-93 tournament, and Ajax in the 1994-95 tournament. Baresi won the third European Cup (UEFA Champions League) of his career in 1993–94 where, Milan defeated Johan Cruyff's 'Dream Team' FC Barcelona 4-0 in the final. Baresi also managed to win the 1994 European Supercup, although Milan were defeated in the 1994 Intercontinental Cup, the 1993 UEFA Super Cup and the 1993 Intercontinental Cup. Under Capello, Milan and Baresi were able to capture another Serie A title during 1995–96 season, Baresi's sixth title in total.〔〔 Baresi retired at the end of the 1996-97 Serie A season, at the age of 37. In his 20 seasons with Milan, he won six Serie A titles, three Champions League titles (reaching five finals in total), two Intercontinental Cups (four finals in total), four European Supercups (five finals in total), four Italian Supercups (five finals in total), two Serie B titles, and a Mitropa Cup.〔 He scored 31 goals for Milan, 21 of which were on penalties, and, despite being a defender, he was the top scorer of the Coppa Italia during the 1989-90 season, the only trophy which he failed to win with Milan, reaching the final twice during his career. His final goal for Milan was scored in a 2-1 win against Padova on 27 August 1995. In his honour, Milan retired his number 6 shirt, which he had worn throughout his career.〔 The captain's armband, which he had worn for 15 seasons, was handed over to Paolo Maldini. Milan organised a celebration match in his honour, which was played on 28 October 1997 at the San Siro stadium, featuring many footballing stars.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Franco Baresi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
