In a recent interview, Fabio Grosso shared his reflections on the 2006 World Cup. He recounted the perception of Italian fans, who seemed to view him as the next iconic full-back or striker overnight. Grosso admitted that he didn`t see himself in the same light. He questioned his place among football giants, considering his humble beginnings and gradual rise through the professional ranks. Despite acknowledging his self-doubt about deserving to be at that level, Grosso emphasized his understanding of how to perform effectively within that environment. He recognized that while he wasn`t a Cabrini, Rossi, or Schillaci, the public`s expectations were akin to those legendary players. This is why Grosso prefers not to dwell too much on his decisive penalty in the Berlin final, viewing it as merely one part of his overall journey.
