Now Giovanni Trapattoni is forced to find a new set-up that can survive without his star player and there were already experiments on Wednesday afternoon.
The Coach fielded Andrea Pirlo, Gennaro Gattuso, Cristiano Zanetti in midfield, with Alessandro Del Piero supporting front two Christian Vieri and Antonio Cassano.
Vieri limped off with a knee problem, but the medical staff hinted that it was nothing to be concerned about.
Trap had always maintained that the balance of the side could not sustain both these creative players, but with the Roma man out of the picture it might be Pirlo’s big chance.
“Andrea is a great player,” Trapattoni had claimed, “but the Italy squad is build along certain structures and with him there the tactical set-up would have to change. I can’t just abandon everything we’ve done and adopt a new system from one day to the next.”
Totti’s thuggish behaviour could well have forced Trapattoni’s hand and opened the door for the Scudetto winning midfielder.
