Osvaldo: "Icardi? I was about to give him a punch in world vision … "ANSA / ALESSANDRO DI MARCO
MILAN – Daniel Pablo Osvaldo , at the end of a concert with his band the Barrio Viejo , was interviewed by Luca Taidelli for La Gazzetta dello Sport to talk about some of his footballer's memories. We report some passages of this interview.
Osvaldo: "Vieri a phenomenon. Totti, De Rossi and Buffon have taught me so much "
Would you also make some scenes in the field?
"Yes, they are part of me. And then whoever judges is certainly not a better person. Only nobody is there and then the professor. But in private I would like to see if it is so irreproachable ".
Would it also rewrite that dramatized in Icardi in the famous match against Juventus and the subsequent quarrel with Mancini in the locker room?
"Too easy to say no now. If there had not been Guarin to probably stop me Mauro gave a punch in world vision. At that moment he was there. Then Mancini was forced to ask for my transfer, otherwise he would lose control of the group ".
He said that in football there are too many constraints and labels, which no longer felt free. How Cassano, who would never have gone to Juventus because he says that there are all toy soldiers?
"No, they are two different things. Juve was fine, it is normal that you are required to respect certain rules for a question of image of the club. If you do not understand it, the problem is you. What makes me sick is that football no longer has a soul, now it's just business. Too many people who want to earn money and who cares about the passion of the people and the players themselves. There is also money behind the decision to move the final Libertadores to Madrid. So the fans had to pay more ".
How did you resist so long in a world that disapproves?
"I will always be grateful to football. But things have changed over time. In Argentina, pressure and gossip are exasperated. In Buenos Aires I did not even want to leave the house. Then at 30 I said enough, although in China they were ready to cover me with gold ".
Cristiano Ronaldo alone invoice as a company. A machine also of professionalism. Have you ever had a gym at home?
He laughs like crazy. "Absolutely not! And if that's why even when I played I would not go home to see me again. Better a concert. But that's not why my esteem for CR7 or for those who live only for football is missing. We are simply different and each one makes his way. But I have learned a lot from some champions, you believe them out of the world and instead they are humble and with a lot of humanity. If you ask me the best moments of my football career I do not answer that goal or the victory, but life in the locker room ".
Which soccer players have you admired the most?
"Vieri is a phenomenon. Totti, Buffon, De Rossi and Messi taught me so much. Also because when you find yourself full of money at the age of 20 your head can turn around ".
