The last game of buddy's national team

2002 Korea-Japan World Cup

In 2002, Batty was unsurprisingly selected for the Argentine national team to participate in the World Cup. Everyone knows that this is the last chance for Buddy, who has participated in two World Cups, to realize his lifelong dream.

Argentina, which was listed as the favorite to win the championship before the game, stopped in shame. Buddy, who couldn't accept the reality, immediately burst into tears. At that moment, many people were heartbroken for Buddy, and even Shen Bing, the beauty hostess of CCTV who participated in the live broadcast, couldn't help crying.

Because he knew they all had a chance, but he always had a dream of the World Cup, but it was gone. Although he scored 56 goals in 78 games for Argentina and became the top scorer in Argentina, Batty left the World Cup, the national team and people's sight with deep disappointment and strong regret. ...
