The Colombian defender: "A 9 rating for the starting defense, an 8 for those who were ready to enter the game."

Francesco Totti's words are getting on the minds of Inter players.  "They are more protected" were the words from Totti referring to the Nerazzurri.  The replay came directly from Marco Branca, who called Totti "exaggerated and disrespectful."  But that is not all.  Ivan Ramiro Cordoba, one of the veterans of this group doesn't want to pull back and he has replied to the Giallorrossi captain.  "Maybe he should be careful about what he said.  I knew he said that we are more protected but he must explain.  Be careful because we are calm and we have shown our strength and character even through difficult times." 

Ivan Cordoba also gave his own ratings for the team.  "To those who played more last year, I would give them a 9.  I'm talking about Julio Cesar, Maicon, Lucio, Samuel and Zanetti.  But also Chivu, when he played he deserves this rating.  Others were ready to play and we all made our own contributions.  I would give an 8 because we were always ready even if it was not easy to play to the level of the starters."  Cordoba also talks about the beautiful night in Madrid: "What a night... The best moment was when we lifted the trophy in Madrid, I was next to Zanetti."

In case you're wondering what Branca said: "I realize that Francesco is a symbol of Rome, but he can not express this way.  It would be disrespectful for a team that dominated for years in Italy, the European Champions, and most importantly a team that was able to keep four places for Italy in the Champions League.  That said, I would give him a hug." 

Branca not only a great negotiator, dude is a great shit talker too.  HAHA.  All hail Marco Branca.
