Sissinho on Heinze: “He attacked Totti and never played with Roma again”

An incident that had remained hidden was revealed by their former player Rome and Real Madrid, Sisinioduring an interview given by Arena SBT.

In particular, the Brazilian full-back referred to an episode that unfolded during his presence at the “Giallorossi”, between Gabriel Heinze and him Francesco Totti.

So according to his words, when its president Rome had insulted the players for their sporting image, captain Totti had gone silent. A fact that irritated him Heinzewho verbally attacked Totiaccusing him of not being worthy to wear the armband.

THE Toti he answered him by telling him that if he wants he can become the leader. But after that game, the Argentine defender did not play again!

What Sisinio said in detail:

“Heinze was crazy. I remember once we lost 1-0 at home to Atalanta. With that, we went seven games without a win in the league. President Rosella Sensi came into the locker room and was furious. He told us that there wasn’t a single man in the room and that we were all bums! He offended everyone. He immediately sent us locked up in Trigoria until the next game. Totti remained seated, impassive and did not say a word. So Heinze jumped up and said to Francesco: “You’re not saying anything? You’re the leader! Didn’t you hear what the president said?”

Totti replied: “Guys, our salary is coming in normally, we are the ones who are not performing as we should. Why should I say anything to the president?” Heinze looked at him with contempt and said, “You are not fit to be a leader! We must choose another.”

Then Totti jumped up and said: “Really? Here’s the armband! Give it to De Rossi, give it to whoever you want.” From that moment on, Gabriel Heinze never played a match with Roma again… (laughs, sb)”.
