A
recent acquisition in a swop deal that took Nestor Sensini
back to Parma, Dino Baggio is
a vastly experienced central midifelder, though he no
longer appears to be part of the Azzuri set-up. He made
his international debut back in December 1991 but failed
to make the squad for Euro 2000 and after wining 59 caps
his international days appear to be over.
Baggio
started his career with Torino, where he spent three seasons,
before moving to Inter Milan for one season and then Juventus.
Parma made an approach for him in 1994 and at first he
turned down the chance to move, but had a re-think and
settled in well with the gialloblu, eventually becoming
club captain.
Baggio's
form appears to have dropped off over the last two years
and he has shown flashes of an increasing lack of discipline,
probaly as a result of his own frustration. He was expected
to move back into a more defensive role at Parma this
season but made an surprising early switch to the champions
Lazio after six seasons with his former club.
