Due to the invasion of Russia into Ukraine and the removal of the Russian Federation from international sports, the decision of Totti has caused a tough reaction in Italy. In response to this exffusteball player in a comment Ansa explained his so -called position.
“My working trip to Moscow has been calling for endless disputes for several days, but I am not a politician or a diplomat. I am a person of sports who promote these values around the world. I have always done so: first as a player, and now in a new role.
I went to any country where I was invited to talk about sports, and without problems I would do the same in Kiev. If I receive an official request from the authorities to refuse the trip, then without hesitation I will take a step back. Everything else is the hypocrisy and speculation of those who want to use my name for their own PR, “Francesco Totti said.
In addition, Totty refused to accept the satirical award “Golden Tapir”, which he tried to hand over a journalist Striscia la notizia Valerio Staffelli.
The presenter asked the former forward to a trip to Moscow, but he did not answer and did not take a symbolic statuette that was presented to athletes, showers in Italy, the stars of showbusiness, politicians for the most serious and meaningless moments and actions.
