Early in his career, Baggio played for Fiorentina. When he returned to Florence to promote his biography "Born Shooter," he spoke about his memories of the "Violet." The former Juventus star helped the Italian team secure second place in the 1994 World Cup and considered Totti one of the greatest players in Italian history. Legendary Italian player Baggio praised Totti after the Roma captain surpassed his total number of Serie A goals recently.
After Totti scored his 206th Serie A goal, breaking Baggio's previous record, Baggio sent praise to the Roma captain... In last week's 3-2 league victory over Bari, Totti scored twice, marking his 205th and 206th Serie A goals, surpassing Baggio's previous record of 205 goals. This Sunday, Fiorentina will play away against Inter Milan, while Roma will host AC Milan the day before.
"I must commend Totti; scoring 206 goals is an extraordinary achievement. It doesn't bother me that he broke my record because he is one of the great players," Baggio said.
"Every time I come back here, it brings back fond memories of my time in Florence. Mihajlovic has done a good job here as coach, especially considering how difficult it is to deal with so many player injuries," he added.
