Former Roma manager Fabio Capello addressed his working relationship with club legend Francesco Totti.
Capello gave an interview to RSI’s “Larmandillo”, talking about his career and also focusing on the championship he won with the Giallorossi in 2001.
On replacing Totti with Nakata in the decisive match against Juventus:
“It wasn’t his day, I needed some energy. I also brought on Montella: it was an intuition, and their goals allowed us to equalise.”
A technical assessment of Totti:
“He was an attacking midfielder with great vision, but he didn’t run and he didn’t have dribbling skills.”
