I have known quite a few Italians who resent Ale, because he has failed to deliver for the national team.
But I believe that there comes a point where you have to show some respect. Even if I absolutely cannot stand Lionel Messi, you have to admire what he has given to the game and to Barcelona. Same goes for Totti, who, by the way, is far from as disgusting as a lot of people make him out to be. Sure, he can be a bit daft in the heat of a postgame interview, but all in all he's quite likeable.

But disagree on Totti, I dont dislike him for his off the pitch interviews or behaviours (even if they are daft), but his disgusting dickhead behaviour on it, not evil, but defenitely detestable enough, Lion made it clear, but if you need more:
He is an absolute stupid douche.
