He broke out in an interview with Mr Francesco Totti. THE Captain her Roma he referred to the period he retired, noting that both the management and the coach at the time Luciano Spallettihim they forced to stop football.

THE Toti reported that the Italian technician took over Roma with a view to making him retire, while he described a night when people from the team went to his house to tell him he would be playing his last derby. The 49-year-old continued by saying how Roma let him downwhile he also mentioned the difficult times he went through after hanging up his shoes.

“I cried every day for three weeks. I was scared, cold to everyone, re-reading my farewell letter to the crowd and crying”said her legend Roma among others.

In detail what he said:

“In my opinion, Spalletti came in 2016 with the idea to make me retirewith the support of the club. There were always problems with him, he was completely different to the manager I had worked with in 2005. Maybe he was convinced I had sacked him when Claudio Ranieri was brought in, but that was not true. The management people called me and other players to ask if we preferred Mancini, Ranieri or someone else.

After I left, the club told me I had to hang up my boots. One day they came to my house to tell me that I was going to play my last derby. I’m not stupid, I knew sooner or later I’d have to give up, but I still felt good about my mind and legs. Maybe in that case, Roma disappointed me more than Spalletti. I think I was problem for them. I said I’d be happy to play freeI would give everything for Roma”the Italian initially reported.

He then described the difficult times he went through when he finally retired: “I felt like there was nothing holding me back. Football players are creatures of habit, we do the same thing every day, and I was just lost. I didn’t know what to do with myself. I cried every day for three weeks. I was scared, cold to everyone, rereading my farewell letter to the crowd and crying. I was convinced that I would be given a recognition match, but after the emotions of that day at the Olimpico, I realized that there could not be another goodbye to football and to Roma. It was like a child leaving its mother that day.”
