In that year's World Cup final, Italy beat Germany 3-1, and Conte directly assisted the second goal and instigated the third goal. For Conte, a player who often plays in Serie A, to borrow Maradona's evaluation, it is "it would be a blessing if Argentina can have a player like Conte"; to borrow the evaluation of the World Cup final opponent Rummenigge, it is "Italy won the World Cup, who is the most successful?"

It is worth mentioning that it is precisely because of the rise of Totti that the veteran Giannini lost the main position, but he did not mind at all, after passing on his strengths to Totti, he was also willing to leave the team to play in Austria, so that the team can accelerate the reconstruction, there is a love called letting go, his love for Rome is really deep.
