Francesco Totti on Mateo Retegui: ‘He impressed me’

The “Finale del cuore” is staged in Santa Severa, the padel tournament featuring Francesco Totti, the national team coach Roberto Mancini, Luigi Di Biagio and Vincent Candela. The initiative has a charitable purpose: to donate a defibrillator to the Santa Severa Padel Club. The former Roma captain, attacked by those present for photos and selfies: “It’s a wonderful feeling to be here – the words of the former number 10 – we are present for an important day, the defibrillator is also essential on padel courts, it is one tool that can save people’s lives.

Between an autograph and the customary photos, Totti also spoke of Mourinho’s Roma season: “I don’t speak because then problems arise. He’s in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, he’s fifth and can get to the Champions League zone, which is the goal. I hope it can go as far as possible in Europe. Mourinho is the key to opening a door”. A joke also about Retegui, discovered by his scouting agency: “I saw him in some videos. He had impressed me physically and mentally, he was eager. I didn’t report it to Mancini. I don’t have it now, unfortunately I did. I’m happy for him, he’s a good boy. If he deserves it, he has a good future.”
