Totti bears Poulsen grudge

Totti received a three-match ban after spitting at the Dane during the opening Group C match between the two countries, which ended in a 0-0 draw.

The 31-year-old, who is considering a return to international football after retiring in 2006 following Italy's World Cup win, still bears a grudge against the combative midfielder for not admitting provoking him, and slammed Poulsen's recent attempt to shake hands with him as a hollow gesture.

"It's easy to talk now," he said. "He could have come and told the truth at the hearing the day after."

Totti was also sceptical as to how much of a contribution Poulsen would make to Juventus following his transfer from Sevilla.

He added: "I don't think he adds anything (to Juve) at the technical level."
