Former Inter and Milan star Ronaldo says he knows what it's like for Francesco Totti to be excluded from his team.

The Giallorossi captain released an interview yesterday evening in which he criticised Coach Luciano Spalletti for leaving him at the margins of the team in spite of him being fit to play.

Former Inter and Milan star Ronaldo says he knows what it's like for Francesco Totti to be excluded from his team.

The Giallorossi captain released an interview yesterday evening in which he criticised Coach Luciano Spalletti for leaving him at the margins of the team in spite of him being fit to play.

In response, Spalletti today did not call him up for the game against Palermo, prompting speculation that the end is nigh for Totti, whose contract expires this summer.

“I have lived through the same situation as Totti,” the fellow 39-year-old Ronaldo quipped briefly in the Italian talk-show Che tempo che fa. “Only Totti can decide what he wants to do.”

Ronaldo's statements, however, were made before the news came out of Spalletti's refusal to call up Totti for today's game.

The Brazilian also mentioned Inter's Honorary President Massimo Moratti.

“It was wonderful to meet him, because we did not part ways in the best manner.

“In 2002 I asked the President to choose between me and [Hector] Cuper, and he chose Cuper.”
