Totti: Cassano has gone too far

Francesco Totti has turned on errant teammate Antonio Cassano after his latest antics and admits he is partly to blame.
托蒂作为卡萨诺的大哥，他也批评了卡萨诺最近的表现
“He made two terrible mistakes in the space of three days,” the Roma captain told the ‘Gazzetta dello Sport.’ “What’s worse is that they are always the same errors.”
接受米兰体育报采访时，托队表示卡萨诺“他在三天内犯了两个错误——红牌和缺训”
The 22-year-old starlet hit the headlines on Sunday when he was sent off for a reaction foul on Fiorentina’s Giorgio Chiellini, then stormed out of the training ground when he discovered he wasn’t in the squad for Wednesday’s Champions’ League clash with Dynamo Kiev.
“Rudi Voller was right to punish him,” continued Totti. “The previous 0m0anagement team was a little unclear on the whole issue, but from now on there can be no more tolerance. Enough is enough.”
“鲁迪对他的惩戒是必要的，有纪律的团队不能容忍一点点的对立，但现在处罚已经作出，相信这已经足够惩戒卡萨诺了”
Voller explained that he would try to instil the discipline that has been so sorely lacking within the Giallorossi camp and director of sport Franco Baldini also added that they would “change tack” on dealing with Cassano.
沃勒尔和巴尔迪尼都强调对卡萨诺的罚款只是为了让他清醒一下来维持球队正常的纪律，并没有从此就放弃他的打算
Whereas previous Coach Fabio Capello rarely punished the starlet for repeatedly insulting him and walking out on training sessions, the new regime is going to get tough.
“The club made a mistake in not immediately disciplining him,” added Totti, “and I was also partly to blame as I allowed him to do whatever he wanted. Now everyone has had enough.”
“俱乐部先前也的确不应该太纵容他，作为他的兄长，我也该责备自己，我没有尽到自己的责任，因此卡萨诺的错误每个人都有责任”托蒂表示
“The previous Coach told him one thing to his face and another behind his back. Just think that the young players were advised not to hang around with Cassano and myself, but rather to spend time with someone who is now at Juventus. And I don't mean Jonathan Zebina,” he added with a clear reference to Emerson.
Meanwhile, his former club Bari have rushed to the defence of this eternally controversial figure.
“Cassano made a mistake,” admitted former Bari director general Carlo Regalia, “but the criticism has been over the top. Sometimes his practical jokes can go too far, but this is his strength.”
The youngster shot to fame as a teenager during his first Serie A season at hometown club Bari, which included a wonder goal against Inter. In 2001 he earned a £20m move to Roma and has been troubling Coaches and teammates with his antics ever since.
“He never did anything really serious at Bari,” added Regalia. “He was just a child when he joined our youth system, but in football terms he knew it all."
"Cassano is the kind of lad who takes situations by the scruff of the neck and won’t go missing in a big game. If anything, you can’t get him off the ball! All he needs to settle back down is to know that the club has faith in him.”
