Maybe it is disappointing to see Baggio sitting in the bench for 90 minutes, but the hero in this match - Vieri didn't forget about Roby. Just after scoring his second goal, he immediately ran towards the number 10 Baggio, who was already out of the bench.

The first Serie A match this season, Inter beat Verona 3-0 at San Siro Stadium, Vieri scored a hat trick. But Baggio didn't play in this match.

Baggio on the cover of Inter Milan magazine Fenomeno Inter.

This picture is from Inter Milan official web site.

Inter has 2 official magazines, Fenomeno Inter is one, the other one is Inter Football Club.

This time Fenomeno Inter uses Baggio as cover, his importance and popularity becomes obvious. In addition, since Roby is wearing the captain's arm-badge, this shows that at least he is not under the shadow of Ronaldo or Vieri.

Inter beat Lecco with a score of 3-1, both Ronaldo and Vieri were on the starting line-up, but they didn't score. Later on, Baggio and Zamorano substituted them, and cooperated to score a goal. Baggio crossed from the right, and Zamorano shot for goal.

This is Baggio with this season's jersey.

I found this picture in La Gazzetta dello Sport online.

Just a reminder, Inter will have a last friendly with Lecco this thursday, this is the last chance for Lippi to test the squad. After that the real competition is going to begin.

Inter had a friendly in Pinetina, this time coach Lippi used the formation 3-4-1-2, and the team won by 7-0. Baggio and Ronaldo both took part in the match, Roby scored 1 goal and Ronaldo scored twice, it seems they are in good form. And since Vieri had scored couple of goals for Inter before, this season is full of hope!

Inter travelled to Bologna, but lost by 2-4. In this match, Lippi used Zamorano and Vieri in the forward line, while Baggio substituted Paulo Sousa in the 67th minute.

Up to this point, the team had 9 friendlies, however, they lost 5 of them. Fortunately they were only friendlies, let's hope Inter will be better when season begins on next Sunday.

According to Inter web site, Roby did train, but was not going quite well. On Saturday, Inter will play Bologna, hope Baggio will be alright!

Below are 6 pictures scanned and sent to me by Edik Sembiring from Indonesia. Thank you very much Edik!

These pictures remind me the old days of Baggio.

4 pictures. The first one is a magazine cover, and was sent to me by Jorge Andres Perez Carrano from Venezuela.

The rest were by Maria Spiridonova of Viva Pagliuca. Actually 2 of them had appeared once in this page, but they were not so clear, so Maria decided to scanned them again.

I would like to thank both of you!

Here are 5 black and white pictures from La Gazzetta dello Sport, I found them in an article about Trofeo Berlusconi, which is played every year before season begins, between Juventus and AC Milan. But there is nothing about Roby in that article.

2 pictures sent to me by Harry from Indonesia, thank you very much Harry!

The first one was Baggio in the match against France in World Cup '98, which was probably Roby's last World Cup match.

The second picture was Baggio with AC Milan, this shot was taken when he was celebrating his goal against Fiorentina, which gave Milan the lead. After that match, Milan became the champion of Italy!

2 Inter magazine covers. Thanks to Maria Spiridonova!

On Saturday, Inter took part in Memorial Picchi, which was held in Livorno. There were 3 teams in total, apart from host Livorno and Inter, there was also Viareggio. Inter beat Viareggio with a winning goal by Baggio, the result was 2-1. However, Roby didn't play in the match against Livorno, and Inter lost with a score of 0-1.

Baggio has recovered his injury and has resumed training. He will be available in the next friendly match.

Without both Baggio and Ronaldo, Inter Milan travelled to France to play Saint Etienne, but lost 1-2. The only goal for Inter was from a penalty kick taken by Vieri.
