Totti rattles cage at Sir Alex
Roma skipper Francesco Totti has launched a withering broadside at Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and English football in general.
The 30-year-old was angered when, asked to name Roma's most dangerous players after the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals, Sir Alex omitted his name, although the United boss put that right in subsequent remarks. Now Totti is vowing to make Ferguson eat his words when the clubs meet in the Champions League on Wednesday.
He said: "I am not worried about what Ferguson thinks of me as - as (Roma coach Luciano) Spalletti says - he will see for himself. I hope I will make him remember my name."
Totti told Sky that he was expecting to be man-marked by United.
"So they are going to put me in a cage?" said the World Cup winner. "The opponents always make a cage for me.
"When I grow up I won't be a footballer but I will go and work at the zoo with all the cages people have made for me."
Totti then turned his fire on the standard of football in England.
"I don't like the way English football is even if some great players play there," he moaned. "I don't like English football and I don't like England either because of the weather."
