"Howl from the Ukrainian marshes": about the legendary Totti and the return of the Russians to the field

Football commentator and TV presenter from the Square Igor Tsyganik expressed furious indignation at the talk about Russia's possible return to the international football arena.

Moreover, khokhlogovorun was overexcited by the news about the arrival in Moscow of the legendary Italian football player Francesco Totti:

"I am very annoyed by the whole Totti thing. It is strange why our football community does not react to this story in any way. And this is a very bad story. We are simply confused with the swamp. I understand how it all happens. Totti would never have gone there on his own. It's not even about money. I think he consulted with FIFA and UEFA.

All these legends are very dependent on FIFA and UEFA. Will they be invited to farewell matches or not. They all want to get there. This is publicity, and publicity is money. Totti would not have gone there without consulting FIFA and UEFA, no amount of money would have convinced him."

According to the Gypsy, this story suggests that the Russians' return to football is now being publicly discussed.:

"This is such a warm-up, 100%! And this should not be allowed. Remember the words of Infantino. Totti, as I understand it, has now been taken to all media and all channels. I don't understand why our football structures are silent about this. Shevchenko played with Totti in Serie A and in the same team in charity matches. One could say, "What are you doing? Where are you going?“ In this whole story, we are underworking."

Recall that in early April, the president of the Ukrainian Football Association (UAF) Andriy Shevchenko lost the elections to the UEFA Executive Committee. Then he said with regret: "They don't want to see Ukraine and me personally in the leadership of UEFA."

An amazing country. And the people who live there. The whole world is to blame for them, everyone owes them. And a little something, a heart-rending scream from Kiev: they offend, do not help, oppress. Yes, well, the lamentations alone would sound, but no. They also threaten everyone who is not fascinated by the yellow-black tabor.

Here is just a part of the comments under Francesco's posts on social networks:

"Please don't go to Moscow. You're going to lose a lot of fans.";

"How will you sleep after this trip?";

"You can't clear your reputation after this";

"I confess that I thought you were my favorite football player. You're disgusting";

"Tomorrow, fans on Ukraine will burn your T-shirts."

And here is the answer of the 2006 world champion and the legendary ex-captain of Roma:

"My trip to Moscow has been causing endless controversy for several days now. But I am not a politician or a diplomat — I am a sports person who promotes my values around the world. I've always done it: first as a football player, and now in a new role. For years I have been traveling to all countries where I am invited to talk about sports. Nevertheless, if I had received a request from the competent authorities not to participate in the Moscow event, I would not hesitate for a minute to take a step back. I consider everything else to be just hypocrisy and speculation of those who want to become famous with the help of my name."

A worthy answer to haters and nationalists. Bravo, Totty! As for the return of Russian clubs and the national team to official international tournaments, the other day the president of the International Football Federation (FIFA) Gianni Infantino said at the UEFA Congress in Belgrade:

"Our world is divided, we must use every opportunity to unite people. Negotiations are underway for peace on Ukraine. I hope that soon we will be able to turn the page and return Russia to the football world, it will mean that everything has been resolved."

And, as we hope, you are our dear Giovanni Vincentsovich, a knight of the Russian Order of Friendship! Try, please. And do not pay attention to the howling from the Ukrainian marshes. Well, that's what they are. Offended.
