Federico Baschirotto, from Serie A to work in the fields where he drives the tractor
Not just football for Federico Baschirotto. The 27-year-old defender of Lecce (which lformer coach Roberto Mancini included among the Azzurri pre-summits for the 2022/2023 Nations League) in his free time he works on the family farm, the “Baschirotto Farm”.
Passion and work mix in a winning mix for the Giallorossi centre-back – a flexible playercapable of successfully performing as a full-back both on the right and left and with a good sense of goal (3 goals scored in the last championship).
Federico Baschirotto was also interviewed by TG1 in recent days for this dual role between football and tractors. The company, family-run since 1956, is located in Nogara, in the province of Verona and, according to the official website, specializes in the cultivation of tomatoes, peas, soybeans and edamame soybeans, as well as wheat.
The motto? “Quality first of all”. And as soon as he had a few hours of time, during the very short Christmas holidays (the Serie A has practically never stopped this year), Federico Baschirotto returned to lend a hand.
“It's a passion I've had since I was little and for me it's natural to be on the tractor, for example among our tomatoes. This is why I decided to spend my days off in the company”, the words on Tg1 of the Italian defender who, as he told the Gazzetta, loves being on the tractor more than manual work in the fields.
