Accused of being ungrateful, Cassano recalled playing for Sampdoria and ended Roma s dream of winning the championship with his comments that sparked outrage

On April 25, 2010, Samp defeated Roma 2-1. This result almost ended the latter's dream of winning a fourth Serie A championship, although they had achieved a shocking reversal against Mourinho's Inter Milan. It is worth mentioning that the old Roma player Cassano was playing for Sampdoria at the time. He celebrated wildly after the game and even took off his shorts and left only his underwear.

Cassano recalled the game on the show "Viva El Futbol", and his remarks triggered widespread anger among Roma fans. Cassano said: "Before the game, my friend Vito Scala told me that Totti wanted to talk to me, and the tone of the conversation was completely joking, nothing more."

"I went to meet the 'big man' (Totti), and he started saying that we had a good season and asked about my family. I said: 'Stop beating around the bush, what do you want to say? Don't dawdle!' Then, he Said to me: 'Hopefully we win today and you can rest assured that you will win the remaining three games and you will be in the Champions League anyway. '"

"I was very unhappy and said to him: 'I understand... Today I will tell you that we will win the last four games instead of three. Today I will make you lose the league and make you cry, especially those who are like me when I leave. The person who insulted me like a dog cried. The result of the game was as I wished, and we won 2-1. '" Adani and Ventola who attended the show emphasized that Totti was just joking. Cassano confirmed this, but still said: "Yes, Totti was joking. He made me feel that he was saying: 'Well, you will win the last three games anyway. ' I said no, you didn't understand, I'm going to play in the Champions League and win. The last four games, even if it doesn't help me, I have to win because today I will make you cry and that's what happened. I left the stadium in my underwear and was as happy as a madman."

This exaggerated description fits Cassano's character and makes Roma fans very angry, and the slightest accusation is that he is "ungrateful", especially considering that Totti has done so much for him during his time in Rome. Of course, these comments also reached the ears of Roma's former captain, who was clearly unhappy, but said he did not want to respond to such provocations. After all, he was too familiar with Cassano's words and deeds.
