The legend of the Italian “Roma,” Francesco Totti, commented on his decision to come to Russia for the award ceremony in the field of sports.
Francesco Totti“My business trip to Moscow has been causing endless debates for several days. But I am not a politician and not a diplomat, I am an athlete who promotes my values around the world. I have always done this: first as a footballer, and now in a new capacity.
For many years, I traveled to all the countries where I was invited to talk about sports, and I will have no problem going to Kyiv with the same goal.
If I were asked by the relevant authorities not to participate in the Moscow event, I would have stepped back without hesitation. Everything else I consider hypocrisy and speculation by those who want to gain fame through my name,” Totti is quoted by ANSA.
