[来自WORLD SOCCER NEWS] Roma coach Luciano Spalletti said he was surprised by the cheery mood of striker Francesco Totti after the Italian international striker underwent major surgery on his badly-injured left leg. The 29-year-old Roma captain was operated on late Sunday as surgeons realigned the left ankle ligaments that had been ripped away from the broken fibula that he suffered in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Empoli. Ten screws were inserted into the fibula to stabilise the bone. Yet despite a massive blow for club and country, Spalletti said Totti was far from down. "Francesco is already talking about his comeback," Spalletti said after visiting Totti at the Villa Stuart clinic in the Eternal City. "He's calm, joking and making light of his situation. I was expecting him to be depressed, but instead he's in a good mood. "He joked that his son Cristian will take his place for Roma against Lazio next Sunday." 罗马教练斯帕莱蒂说手术后的托蒂那乐观的情绪令他感到有些意外。 这位29岁的罗马队长在星期天的晚些时候接受了手术,医生为他修复了已经从断裂腓骨分离出来的韧带。 为了固定腓骨,十颗螺丝钉安入了罗马队长体内。 尽管这是对国家队和俱乐部的重大打击,斯帕莱蒂说托蒂并没有意志消沉。 “弗朗西斯科已经在谈论他的回归了。”从斯图亚特诊所探望托蒂归来的斯帕莱蒂说道。 “他很冷静,谈笑风生并且让自己的遭遇变得光明起来。我原以为他会情绪低落,但实际上他现在的心情不错。” “他开玩笑说接下来的德比大战将会由儿子克里斯蒂安顶替他的位置。” |
