Incredible revelation regarding two players of the Italian national team, which risks shattering the harmony created in the locker room.
With the various championships at a standstill, there is a huge concentration of fans and enthusiasts on the European Championship being held in Germany.
The environment around the Italian national team hopes to be able to repeat in some way the path that was taken three years ago, even if it is obviously very complicated. However, the air you breathe in the retreat of Luciano Spalletti’s boys is rather serene and relaxed.
In the past few hours, however, a sensational revelation has come to light a real fracture in the Italian locker roomdue to the city rivalry between Rome and Lazio.
The statements on what happened in the blue house
In recent days Luigi Di Biagio, a former footballer among others for Roma, spoke to the microphones of TV Play, telling a curious anecdote regarding the 2000 European Championships in which he was called up to the national team. The former midfielder revealed that during that expedition Totti and Nesta, at the time the respective symbols of Rome and Lazio, did not speak to each other due to the events that occurred during the derbies. Below are his words.
”Before shipping for Euro 2000 Totti and Nesta didn’t speak to each other. They had known each other since they were children, they had grown up together, but they didn’t know each other. They didn’t talk to each other because of that famous shirt, ‘I purged you again’. They played Play Station and kept quiet. In training one on one side and one on the other. Before leaving we said to him: ‘Look, you can talk, eh?’. They burst into laughter and off we went on our European expedition. They had been friends all their lives, but one played for Roma and one for Lazio. They carried with them the aftermath of the various derbies and this was hilarious”.
Almost enemies due to the Capitoline rivalry
The anecdote told by Di Biagio heavily highlights what he is the atmosphere you breathe in the capital during the derbies and not only that, even among footballers.
Totti and Nesta have always respected each other, but an episode happened during a city match he risked ruining their relationship and the dressing room of the Italian national team.
