AS ROMA NEWS – Fabio Capello never misses an opportunity to recount episodes that cause discussion, and this time too was no exception. Speaking at the microphones of RSI Switzerland, the former Roma coach recalled some key moments of his experience at the Giallorossi, starting with an analysis of Francesco Totti. “He was an advanced midfielder with great vision of the game, but he did not run and had no dribbling,” he said.
Capello then recalled a crucial episode of the Scudetto season, the direct clash with Juventus. “I had understood that it was not Totti’s day, I needed more liveliness on the field. I then decided to include Montella as well, an intuition that in my profession makes all the difference. It was his goals that allowed us to tie that game, which was fundamental to winning the championship.”
Finally, the former coach retraced the tense moments experienced in the decisive match against Parma, when the fans’ enthusiasm risked ruining everything. “Ten minutes from the end there was a pitch invasion, we risked defeat by default. I was a beast, the fans did not understand the danger,” he recalled with his usual candor. A tale that brings back strong emotions, between joy, adrenaline and the fear of seeing a historic goal fade away.
