Francesca Costa, Zaniolo's mother: "I cried when we met Totti for the first time"

ROME – Interviewed by the "Gazzetta dello Sport", Francesca Costa, the mother of Nicolò Zaniolo, told the first, emotional meeting with Francesco Totti in Trigoria: "I saw him the first time we were in Trigoria. He came to us and I started crying. He told me: 'What are you crying for me?'. I could not speak. Nicolò told me: 'What are you doing to me?'. There was also my husband Igor who laughed ".

But Zaniolo's mother also spoke about the most difficult moments experienced by her son: "The most difficult moment was when Fiorentina called my husband to warn him that Nicolò had been cut from Spring. I burst into tears because I knew how my son would react. She was crying. We saw him sick. Then Igor was farsighted and took him away from Florence. Because Viola wanted to turn it over to some satellite company. And the Entella has arrived. That was a good time ".

What team is supporting Nicolò? " As a child he was a fan of Juventus but he was never a huge fan. The idols? His idol was Kaka. He told me that now his favorite champion is Modric ".

Francesca Costa has then confessed to cheering Rome since she was twenty: "Cheering since I'm 20 for the songs of Venditti and Totti. I have always admired him in the field, but also for the charity he does without saying anything ".
