Montella blasts Capello years Monday 17 January, 2005
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Serie A top scorer Vincenzo Montella has hit out at former Roma boss Fabio Capello.
The attacker netted his 15th and 16th of the season yesterday, in the 2-2 draw with Chievo, before taking a swipe at the current Juventus tactician.
"Why am I top scorer? Because I’m fresh," he joked. "In the last five years I’ve had plenty of rest."
Montella was referring to the fact that he was underused by Capello, who often started him on the bench or regularly replaced him during games.
"I must also thank my teammates though because they do create the chances for me to score the goals," continued the international.
"We’re a bit disappointed we didn’t win yesterday because we got back in the game and there was even time to have snatched a victory.
"Still, looking on the positive side, it’s not easy to come back from two goals down and at least we did that."
The former Sampdoria ace was sidelined for much of last season through injury, but the 30-year-old is back better than ever after his incredible overhead kick on Sunday.
"I’ve waited 10 years to score a goal like that," he explained. "We’ve now got to stay on track to qualify for the Champions’ League."
Montella concluded by reassuring Giallorossi fans that Francesco Totti would not be leaving Roma.
"I don’t believe a player of his intelligence, with his passion for the club, would make a decision based on the behaviour of a small minority of fans," he stated.
Boss Gigi Del Neri agreed. "The Siena episode is already in the past and Totti will stay," he said. "The club’s future lies with him, Antonio Cassano and Montella."
The captain threatened to quit the Olimpico after being insulted by a small section of capital supporters

Looks like there r already 4 Roma players complaining about him. Totti + says that Capello is a betrayer, Mexes claiming Capello as a lyer Montella + Dellas complain that they r underused. Speaks the same for DP and Tudor as well. I hate to say this, but sonner or later both of our players wil blast Capello as well.
