Football without much “fun” with Tudor

The Ex Olympian therefore once again settled his scores with the Croatian technician in the columns of the Team when he was asked what his reaction was when he saw Igor Tudor arrive on the Laziale bench last March: “ It's not a football that I enjoy a lot, but you have to know how to adapt. When I was at OM, I knew how to adapt to what he asked of me and I think I did it well. Here, I remained professional and then I still played. »
