One of the leaders of the Italian national team Francesco Totti claims that he will be able to prepare properly for the World Cup in Germany despite missing three months due to injury.
The captain of Roma managed to play only two games after the injury, appearing on the field only as a substitute. However, the defender was included in the list of 23 Italian players and promised to regain his best physical form by the first matches of the championship.
"I still can't play at full strength, but I believe that I will be able to reach my best physical form by the first matches of the championship. I will be 100% ready for the matches." - promised F.Totti.
The footballer, as has become customary in recent weeks, also commented on the referee influencing scandal that has heated up in Italy.
"We have known about these things for a long time, but only now measures have been taken to stop them. It's a difficult time for Italian football. These accusations are complicated because they involve many individuals and clubs in Italy. So I hope that everything will be resolved quickly. Those who have committed crimes must be punished. Otherwise, we risk not changing anything." - said F.Totti.
However, the player assured that this scandal will not affect the performance of the Italian national team.
"This scandal will definitely not affect us, because we are just players and we go out on the field to fight, thus deciding the result. If we play focused, trusting our strengths and knowing that we are a great team, no one else will be able to influence us." - expressed his thoughts F.Totti.
