Baggio rejects Olympic bid
Friday 9 January, 2004
Italian legend Roberto Baggio seems to have dismissed the idea of taking part in the 2004 Olympic Games.
"Could I go to Athens? No, I’m thinking just about my club," said the former Juventus captain.
"The only Azzurro that I’m now interested in is the one that is contained in the Brescia shirt."
There were calls for Baggio to take part in the Games after the 36-year-old revealed that he would be retiring at the end of this season.
However, there is pressure on him to reconsider his plans after his display in Tuesday’s 4-2 win over Siena.
Baggio was in inspired form as he scored twice but also set up the other two goals for the Stadio Rigamonti outfit.
"For now I’m just concentrating on how to face the next four months of the season," he added.
"As you all know, my career has been tormented by injuries. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens."
