Dacourt criticizes the treatment of De Rossi and Totti: De Rossi deserved more time; it's crazy that Totti is on the outside

Dacourt and De Rossi were teammates at Roma.

He told Gazzetta.it: "Daniele is a dear friend, a real person. Someone who tells you things to your face. I spoke to him two days ago, but we didn't talk about football. I think a little more patience would have been necessary and above all a little more respect, for a man and a flag like him."

Dacourt is also amazed Francesco Totti remains on the outside at Roma: "It's sensational. Do you understand what I mean when I say that respect is needed?

"Francesco is a monument in Rome, he is history. And then I'm sure he would be useful, perhaps supported by someone who deals with the sporting part. But when a new player arrives in Rome, the fact that someone like Totti can explain to him what it means to wear that shirt, would make something click inside, it would give a different push.

"I would like to see him one day as an ambassador for the club."
