“I was because they invited me,” said Francesco Totti, legend of Rome and world champion with Italy in Germany 2006 about his trip to Russia, where he participated in the International RB Award, an event organized by a well -known Russian sports and bets.
“It was a sporting event and I went, what is wrong with? Why not?
Totti, 48, was received as a “star” upon arrival on April 8 to Moscow, where he traveled as the guest of honor of the event organized by Bookmaker Ratings, a decision that generated discomfort in the capital of Italy “at a critical moment for Ukraine and Europe as a whole.”
“I miss football, ;; the passion never goes out, now I travel around the world, but I still play, but to football,” Totti clarified about his departure from competition as a professional in 2017.
Totti also talked about the recovery of Rome from the arrival of Claudio Ranieri: “He is returning it to the place he deserves,” he highlighted the 73 -year -old coach.
Instead, Totti dismissed a career like DT: “Never, it’s not for me. I am jealous and susceptible. I couldn’t,” he acknowledged.
Finally, he talked about the “Azzurra”, which will seek to qualify for the 2026 World Cup after his absence in Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022: “I see ups and downs, we hope they return to the top, but I am sure that with (DT Luciano) Spalletti and this group we can do many things,” he confided.
