Vieri and the 2006 World Cup: “Lippy waited for me until the end. I suffered for many years”

“If I could go back, I would play until I was fifty. If you are a football player, you love this sport. There’s not a former teammate of mine who wouldn’t come back and do it all again.” Say it like this Christian Vieriin a long interview with Radio Serie A between football and more. Among other things, the former striker focuses on the 2006 World Cup: “I’m a fan of the national team, I’ve always been a fan of it. I wanted to be there, but I was obviously happy for them. I was devastated, I knew that with Lippi in the team everything would change. The team was strong, he was the right coach. I suffered for many years, but that’s okay. He waited for me until the end, but I couldn’t do it. Lippi was the coach who made me take a quantum leap. He won everything, what should I say to him? It’s okay if it’s not good.”
