Francesco Totti, striker legend of AS Roma, wants to take part in a gala event in Moscow. For this, the 46-year-old receives violent criticism.
Francesco Totti triggered a wave of outrage with a planned trip to Russia. The 46-year-old wants to take part in a gala of a sports and betting magazine in Moscow on April 8th.
In the Russian capital, you look forward to posting on posters with the words with the words “The emperor on the way to the third Rome” – but naturally does not like the fans in Italy.
Francesco Totti is criticized in Italy
For his upcoming excursion, the former striker of AS Rome not only received angry comments on social media, but also the “Golden Tapir” of the Satir Sending Striscia La Notizia . The Italian show regularly awards this dubious award to celebrities and politicians who consider it for the “largest full post”. Most recently, the price went to Italy’s national coach Luciano Spalletti.
Totti: “I’m not a politician or a diplomat”
Like the coach a few days ago, Totti was personally confronted.
“I am not a politician or a diplomat, but a man of sport who promotes his values worldwide. I’ve always done that: first as a footballer and now in a new role,” said the 2006 world champion about his visit to Russia
The Italy legend emphasized: “For years I have been visiting all the countries that I am invited to talk about sports, and I have no problem traveling to Kiev for the same purposes.”
Incidentally, there was no handover of the “golden tapir”. Totti let the journalists flash out and barricaded himself in his car. Just stupid that his car was on a crosswalk and blocked a ramp for wheelchair users.
