WHAT MARRA SAID
Marra told : "Two players that I had the pleasure of training, who are Totti and Salah, at the end of training I found them dribbling in the shower while they were taking a bath. That is, shower with the ball in and they were dribbling: this makes you understand the passion and love there is for what they do. Dribbling at that moment certainly didn't help improve their technique, but they did it simply because they love the ball."
