Here's the hope you don't expect. Filed for now the Amauri case, the story of Italian-Brazilians returns to argue. In fact, overcome the physical troubles and back to the goal - and that goal - Sunday against Siena in the championship the player of Roma Rodrigo Taddei advances a clamorous candidacy for a place between the Azzurri of Lippi . The Giallorossi offensive midfielder, never summoned in verdeoro, speaks so not by chance, as it boasts a great-grandfather native to the province of Rieti and therefore has an Italian passport.
Tadei confided in an interview with the Brazilian site Globoesporte that: "If by chance Lippi called me, I would accept the call. I talked to Totti in the locker room, told me to stay calm, the other National teammates would welcome me without any problems. My life is in Italy, I feel respected here, so I would accept good." However, as for Amauri, the words of Taddei, class 1980, are also the result of a long reflection that the player has had in recent years.
It is certainly not a choice taken lightly on two pegs, but a weighted assessment and therefore of greater import. And they testify to it the diametrically opposite words of Taddei which on 10-09-2007 announced that, while having had the Italian passport and not having played any game in the Brazilian National, he did not want to consider the possibility to play in the Italian National, for "respect to my Italian comrades who want to wear the jersey of the National Team of their country".
Reasons other than those of Amauri, who make appreciate the opening words of these days of the player of Rome. At this point the ball passes to our "General" Lippi . Mister, are we taking Rodrigo to Blue? Maybe at the Confederations Cup...
