Roma coach Spalletti faces Cassano question
tribalfootball.com - August 28, 2005
AS Roma coach Luciano Spalletti admits Antonio Cassano has been affected by the fans' reaction last week. The temperamental striker was linked with a move to Juventus this summer but with two days to go before the close of the transfer window, he is still training with the Giallorossi. Cassano has so far turned down all offers made by the club for a new contract, with his current deal expiring in June 2006. And the home fans have still not forgiven him as they showed earlier this week when the player was booed during the team's presentation ceremony. "Cassano was very disappointed," said Spalletti. "But he has to realise that he is the only one that can change their minds by changing his behaviour and proving that he has not only matured on the pitch but also off it." |
