Totti: Ashamed of spitting at Euro 2004; Mourinho is Roma’s best coach
6686 Sports News on November 13, Totti said in an interview with PrimeVideo that he wanted to apologize for spitting during the 2004 European Cup match between Italy and Denmark.
At that time, Totti spat on the opposing player Poulsen. After the game, Totti was suspended for an additional 3 games. However, Italy ended up drawing 0-0 with Denmark and failed to appear in the group.
Talking about why he lost control of his emotions at that time, Totti recalled: "I don't know, I regret it. Now when I see that picture, I feel that I can't really do that. Poulsen has been pestering me from the beginning of the whole game. Maybe it was because of the hot weather, or maybe it was because of my braids (laughs). And I couldn’t understand what he was saying because he spoke English. He kept stepping on my feet and pinching me. This kind of thing is really rare in the game, but I can’t stand it until now. God, I'm still ashamed of my behavior that day. If someone did this to me, I would definitely chase him and spit on him in front of everyone. "
Totti thinks Mourinho is the most despicable behavior in the history of Roma. For excellence, "He is top-notch, the best. Because in his two years in Rome, he led the team to two finals: winning one and losing the other with regret, and also won the European Championship for the team after 30 years."
