BAGGIO AIMING
FOR WORLD CUP
2002

Baggio. 33. is out of contract at Inter Milan and has yet to agree a deal with a club for next season but he says he is looking to prove he can still play at the highest level.
In an interview with the daily Gazzetta dello Sport Bay gio revealed that Inter presuh in Massimo Moratti had otferrd him a job on the coaching staff but said his playing career was not yet over and he wanted to go out in style.
I want to continue playing. I want to carry on until 2002 and make the World Cup In Japan and South Korea. That is my alm said Baggio.
Last season Baggio found himself frozen out at Inter by coach Marcello Lippi and despite scoring two crucial goals against Parma In an end of season play-off which gave the Milan club a place in the Champions League, it was clear he had no future in Lippi's plans.
He said his restricted opportunities at Inter had cost him a possible place in Dino Zoffs Euro 2000 squad.
"If a player plays little then he cannot convince the national, team coach and last year I didn' t pkyy much," said Baggio, "Thai Is why 1 now want to go to a team where I can demonstrate my quality."
Baggio has appeared in the last three World Cup finals but he will be 35 at the next one. He has scored 160 goals for Fiorentina. Juventus. AC Milan. Bologna and Inter - more than any other player currently in Serie A.
