Chapter 56 55．where is the return journey

The ups and downs of the 1999-2000 season have already come to an end. All the strong teams in Italy are on their way to Nanshan, and a summer break of more than three months has begun. Zoff led a team of Italian elite soldiers to Belgium and the Netherlands to compete for the European Championship. It's a pity that we can no longer see that familiar figure in this Azzurri.Roberto Baggio's national team may have come to an end.However, for him, there is nothing to regret. He represented Italy in the World Cup three times and scored 9 goals. He is the player with the most goals in the history of the Italian national team in the World Cup. The runner-up of the World Cup and the third place once, although he has never been in the championship, but we can only comfort Baggio by saying that it is up to man to make things happen, and he has done his best.

For a 33-year-old player, it is time to consider quitting the arena. Baggio has struggled on the football field for nearly 20 springs and autumns. Been through a lot of pain.As a player, Baggio has aged a bit, but as a man, he has matured.Inter Milan is obviously not a place to stay for a long time, and the grievances with Lippi made Baggio determined to leave this place of right and wrong.Baggio will definitely choose a team that is more suitable for him to prepare for his retirement. So, where is his return journey? Many teams from all over the world still want to get Baggio, a 33-year-old veteran.The first is the news from the two newly promoted polo teams in the Italian league.Rumor has it that Napoli were eager for Baggio to regain their former glory.

After Maradona left Naples, the team could never regain their former glory. In the first two seasons, they were unfortunately relegated to the second division, which made countless Naples fans deeply saddened.After two seasons of hard work, this year finally saw the light of day again and returned to the ranks of the first division.In order to revive their previous glory, they began to recruit talents. It was at this time that they strongly invited Baggio to join. A few years ago, Naples had joined the ranks of competing for Baggio, but Baggio chose AC Milan.This news made people believe it was true, but in early June, it was reported that the Naples club had no intention of inviting Baggio to join the club. The former Naples star Zola and French international Leboeuf joined the club. Vicenza was Baggio's debut that year. It is from this club that he entered the big stage of world football. It was the first stop for Baggio to go to the end of the world. Now this club has also been promoted to the first division after hard work. They are a small club. Unable to dig big-name stars to join, so I thought of using past feelings to let Baggio come back to play for the club, but this matter has not yet been finalized.

Around the end of May, there was another news that Lazio, the new top pick in Serie A, invited Baggio to join.In this regard, Lazio's young captain Nesta showed great interest. He told the reporters: "When I heard the news, I was so happy. An exciting thing. It would be the pride of my life to be team-mates with Baggio in my football career, not only in the national team but also in the club. If Baggio comes, for sure It will be a great help to us. Roberto Baggio is a talented player and he is far from retiring. If he can come to Lazio, it will be a great encouragement to our fans and will make this originally An already wonderful season has become even more exciting." From these words, we can see that Nesta has great respect for Baggio and hopes that Baggio will truly become one of them.But according to our analysis, the possibility of Baggio going to Lazio is quite small, because Lazio is now a top-notch team in Italy, and there are so many strong players in the team.Moreover, when Vieri tried his best to return to Lazio, he was preparing to sign another striker, the Argentine Crespo, plus a large number of forwards such as Inzaghi, Salas, and Boksic. Joe may not have a place in Lazio. If he always stays on the bench there, what is the difference with Inter Milan? The 33-year-old Baggio probably won't take the risk again.

There is even more exciting news for our Chinese fans. In May, major Chinese media published the news that China’s Qingdao Manatee Club invited Italian players Roberto Baggio and Lombardo to join. It seems that Baggio's coming to China is a certainty, but soon it was reported that Manatee coach Ostojic did not want these two big-name Italian players, so Baggio's coming to China became a kind of hype, purely Out of nowhere.In addition, there are invitations from Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur in England, and gossip from some teams in Japan and Australia, but these are still temporary legends, and there is no substantial progress in the end.It is unlikely that Baggio will leave Italy next season to develop abroad. He is a family lover.

On May 31, 2000, after playing an exhibition game in Italy, Baggio flew to Argentina for vacation. This is a must-have program for him every summer. A season of nerves, rest a tired body.At the same time, Baggio also has some personal investments in Argentina. Every time he is on vacation, he will go to see the operation of these investments.He began to wait patiently for the transfer again, and his agent would also keep the latest information informed so that he could make a final decision.As of the deadline for this chapter, we have not received any news about which team Baggio will choose as his next stop.The latest rumors are that he will go to Perugia or Chelsea, but there are no firm reports of a signing.
