Francesco Totti misses soccer, takes credit for Jannik Sinner’s accomplishments

Francesco Totti takes credit for Jannik Sinner’s accomplishments

Soì Francesco Totti, former Roma captain, speaking to Sky Sport also addresses whyé flags like him do not play a role in the clubs where they played: "Whyé me, Maldini and Del Piero are out of soccer? Becauseé you become unwieldy, a big name overshadows everything else".

"But if you are a competent and also important person this happens,” he added. “If we are not taken into consideration, evidently you è tied to other goals and thoughts". Totti then admitted that soccer "a little bit' I miss it" but "I am fine anyway", while on why he did not return to Roma he explained: "If there is a lot of talk about it, then if you go to squeeze the lemon little or nothing comes out. To me nobody ever called".

And when asked if it was something he expected he said, "No. But we are all happy, me and them. Maybe the fans a little bit less…". Finally a joke about the national team: "Unfortunately this summer did not è go well, I thought Italy could do much better. We are discovering now that the players did not arrive at that competition at their best from a physical and mental point of view, so we are understanding why it&#39s gone wrong. Spalletti? The ct and the coach are two different professions, I think he has understood his mistakes, he also said it and now I hope he can restart from these wins in the Nations League".

Then, between the serious and the facetious, Totti talks about the Italian tennis phenom Jannik Sinner, recalling the match at the Internazionali between the former Roma captain and the champion from Alto Adige. "You laugh and joke but since he played with me in Padel è he became number one in the world. Casualness è? I don’t think so. Everyone takes credit, I have never said anything but today I do,” continued the former Giallorossi number ten, smiling. “I played against him for a few minutes, showed him two or three movements and he understood and turned. I gave him confidence and positivity; and from that moment he has not lost. Not è not little eh. Let's say that 1% credit for Jannik&#39s victory at the Us Open I take it".
