Baggio plays for Borgonovo
Saturday 28 March, 2009

Roberto Baggio, Leonardo, Pep Guardiola, Gheorghe Hagi and Franco Baresi will be among stars taking part in a charity match for Stefano Borgonovo.

The former Genoa defender is suffering from Lou Gherig’s Disease and his foundation raises money for research into the motor neurone condition that tends to strike former athletes.

One such charity game was played last night at Marassi with teams representing Genoa and Sampdoria facing off, including ex-Inter boss Roberto Mancini.

Another event has been planned for Friday April 3 at the Stadio Rigamonti in Brescia between Milan and Brescia old glories.

Among them will be Demetrio Albertini, Baresi, Zvonimir Boban, Billy Costacurta, Paolo Di Canio, Stefano Eranio, Alberigo Evani, Valerio Fiori, Filippo Galli, Maurizio Ganz, Federico Giunti, Leonardo, Daniele Massaro, Stefan Raducioiu, Giovanni Stroppa, Mauro Tassotti and Pietro Vierchowod.

Carlo Ancelotti and Arrigo Sacchi will act as the Coaches of the Rossoneri squad.

Baggio returns to Brescia in order to represent the Rondinelle, where he will be joined by the likes of current Barcelona boss Guardiola and Romanian legend Hagi.

Others lining up for the charity match are Spillo Altobelli, Stephan Appiah, Marco Ballotta, Evaristo Beccalossi, Ivano Bonetti, Gigi Di Biagio, Marco Nappi, Davide Possanzini, Ighli Tare, Kubilay Turkyilmaz and Daniele Zoratto.

The tacticians on the Brescia bench will be Carlo Mazzone and Azeglio Vicini.
