TOTTI ITALY – Francesco Totti responded to the invitation of the national team coach Luciano Spalletti to participate, today 3 June, in a full day of retreat in Coverciano in preparation for the European Championships. With him four other great number tens in the history of the Azzurri: Roberto Baggio, Gianni Rivera, Alessandro Del Piero and Giancarlo Antognoni. On the sidelines of the event within the walls of the Federal Centre, the former Roma captain spoke to the microphones of the journalists present.
“We wished the players good luck and explained some of the internal dynamics to them. Phrases that we left him? These are the things that are often said in the locker room, things that some already knew, then it will be the coach who says the most right and important things. I didn’t expect this invitation, but as soon as I heard about it I jumped at the chance,” commented Totti. “Without number ten it’s a
different, less beautiful football. Pellegrini deserves number ten, is one of the most important players of Roma and the national team. This national team has talent and then he has a great coach, if they follow it we could be very happy. Spalletti could be the number ten of this national team but unfortunately he doesn’t play. My role in the national team? Let’s think about the European Championship, the rest means nothing.”
