​​February 21, 2016 – Milan

The Olympic Totti applauded and booed him. That from the bench has seen its Roma hot melt Palermo 5-0. Luciano Spalletti will enjoy the three points, but the Totti case took inevitably the scene. When they say that Keita said in the pregame that it was necessary to win, and then partying to forget each other and share all together, Spalletti replied: “The reconstruction of Keita I like, is absolutely beautiful and I agree. But the situation has passed. Francis saw the match here at the stadium, has been with us in the locker room, and tomorrow back to train. what this morning was just a moment of discomfort anger is understandable, the player still feels a player and wants to do that. If there was much ado about nothing? Well, if it does the greatest player in the postwar period, this happens … “

reconstruction – Then the Giallorossi coach back on the story this morning, which led to the exclusion of Totti from the retreat: “of course I would play tonight, is not I’m going to tell lies in the press conference … this morning it happened that, on the basis of what they had come out from his statements, everywhere there was talk of this situation. I the day before I had asked them to put behind the Champions League and regroup for a race that seemed easy. I asked concentration, help. Then comes out of this situation that sidetracks the interest of the team, there are roles and you have to deal with everyone and not just one player. It must necessarily bring order to the warm reaction of Francis. Because it is true that he is a great champion and that deserves respect, but the respect I owe it to all the others, or when one wants to convene a press conference and starts talking that way is … I warned the company after I made this decision – goes Spalletti -, there was great regret, I did not want but my role is this we must give the signals to the team, the company has called me because the situation was wrong and I have to be careful what you I do, maybe it was a bit ‘nervous and something he said. When he’s nervous missiles the start … I’m sorry, I have no fight with anyone, I just want the

future and renewal – “The renewal of Totti? If you remember, I’ve already talked about this in the conference presentation, know that it will become the main thing, I said that I will not get into this situation, he has to decide, I will have made available, when I talked with Totti and Vito scale, any role. Want to be like Giggs ?, I asked him. Behind his story you can build everything, he can do any role, in this environment has a unique charisma, all follow a track when he wants it. You want to make Nedved? Do you want to be a footballer? Ok, but I know that but I do not gift anything to you! He is the player? Okay, but I do the coach. “

choices -” I’ve had some weakness, at home I have a wall with so many shirts, I Totti 7-8 meshes, my son told me ‘Dad, you do, argue with Totti?’. Are broken, I do not want to do these things. He has often trained and well lately, has helped to raise the training level, the foot is still the same, eh. The company knows that if Totti ask anything, I’m on his side, I know what is Rome and the beauty of this environment, tonight the fans call upon his name, and they did well for what he did see, there absolute respect for its history. But now there are choices to make. If this continues a few games to play, tonight I would put the start and I saw how it lasted, but I can not accept him to say those things. We have so many players in the team, De Sanctis, Maicon, Salah, Keita, I have to tidy up because I was called to do this. “

” I CAN COME? “ – Spalletti also tells a curtain with the captain before the match against Palermo:” in the locker room we said goodbye and I told him: ‘Where do you see the game?’. He replied ‘In the small stage’. I asked him: ‘I can come?’ and he ‘No, there are only my’ friends, to which I said: ‘Well, if you ask me to take you on the bench will not take you, here there is only people that I convoke …. “

flawless performance – Spalletti so analyzes the performance of his “Tonight was a flawless performance, might seem easy but when you get to a Champions c ‘has always been a decline in the approach to the game. Instead the boys have recharged the batteries, made important plays and made goals, against a heavily loaded opponent. “
