Christian "Bobo" Vieri - once the most expensive footballer on earth - pulls up to The Late Run and takes us inside the golden era of Serie A: training next to R9 and laughing out loud ("you can't stop him"), and the day he saw steel coming out of the Phenomenon's knee. He breaks down his world-record €49M transfer (about €335M in today's money), why all that money moved to the Premier League, and the four stadiums on earth where playing feels different - starting with 85,000 at San Siro: "that's where you sh*t your pants."Then it gets honest: winning the top-scorer crown while going out every single night, the 40-goal season he believes he threw away, the 2006 knee injury that cost him a World Cup - and the wife who tells him to "go to the hospital" when she catches him reliving goals he missed 25 years ago. Ocho gets striker advice for Sunday League ("the green pitch never lies"), compares his New England what-if to Vieri's, and asks the GOAT question one more time. For one beautiful second, he finally has an ally… and then Vieri takes it back.
