A few years ago – well, it was on the evening of the first game of Euro2004, Italy were playing very poorly with Francesco Totti in midfield, the trequartista behind the strikers. He was playing like the girl that he is. A mate of mine sent a message then, which is equally relevant to Totti after they got SMASHED by Manchester United 7-1 in the Champions League today.
The message on that cold night in 2002 was, “Totti – you don’t send a boy to do a man’s job”.
Totti went into today’s match saying it was “a more important game than the World Cup final”. He was one of the worst performers on the pitch. AS Roma, the team he captains (and own 5% of) got pumped. Now he’s said it was the “saddest” night in his career. Totti is nothing but a big girl.
