MELBOURNE (Australia) – Roma in the head, Roma in the heart. Even on the other side of the world, the former captain Francesco Totti he doesn’t give up thinking about the Giallorossi team even thousands of kilometers away: at the moment he is in Australia for commercial commitments, and after having been in Sydney, he is now in Melbourne. Totti was a guest at an event together with former Parma footballer Mark Bresciano and once again made no secret his love for Rome.
Totti’s words on De Rossi
“I hope that Daniele stays at Roma for a very long time – underlines Francesco Totti – first because he deserves it and second because it will mean that he will be doing well. I hope for a rosy futureI hope that Roma will play again important competitions because the city and the fans deserve it.”
Totti and the future: “Roma? It doesn’t depend on me”
“When I stopped playing I felt dead – Totti then admitted – as if they had taken away the earth from under my feet, everyday life, the training camps, the possibility of playing: I felt like I was sinking also because it wasn’t my choice. For goodness sake, I was 40 years old, but it’s one thing that you stop and another that things go another way. THEor technical director of Roma with De Rossi as coach? Daniele is a great coach and we are seeing it – underlines Totti – if I were to become director I don’t know, at the moment they have other ideas at Roma, they make other choices and it’s not up to me. Otherwise I wouldn’t be here.” TEveryone laughs, Totti himself does it because it’s a joke, but it’s clear that the thought of the love of a lifetime is always there.
Totti and the figure of the coach
“Would you like to be a coach?” No – lto Totti’s response – Not even at Roma? Well you’re putting me in difficulty, but for now I’m not thinking about it, then we’ll see. Certainly more no than yes. My favorite coach? Mazzone raised me, Zeman taught me a lot and with Spalletti (laughs, ed.) we played many matches. Spalletti is number one. My son Cristian in Roma? I hope so, but in the end the important thing is that he is happy and enjoys playing football.”
