Totti-Spalletti argument?

By Football Italia staff

Rumours in the media suggest that Francesco Totti and Luciano Spalletti had a heated argument in the aftermath of Atalanta – Roma.

The Giallorossi captain was subbed into the game when the hosts were leading by 3-2, and managed to snatch the final equaliser and produce an assist for Edin Dzeko, who missed the winner.

Coach Spalletti was not entirely generous after the game, saying that the goal 'did not change anything' and suggesting that Totti lacked stamina.

Ansa are now reporting of a heated argument between the Coach and the captain after the game.

Apparently Totti was not very pleased about these comments and he confronted Spalletti about them, who in turn responded rather harshly. Other sources, such as PagineRomaniste.com, suggest that Spalletti was highly critical of the team as a whole, yelling at them, 'you've been looking like fools for ten years now!'

Reports on the episode are still unclear and must be taken with a grain of salt. Initially sources suggested the argument may have escalated and turned into a physical confrontation, but this version has since been disclaimed.
