“Yes, I was looking for Serie A teams, even a month ago.” It launches the “market bomb”. Francesco Totti: former captain of the Roma suggests that some clubs Series A they recently contacted him, rekindling an old flame in him. “They made me a little mad, some thoughts,” admitted the former captain Roma.
Totti, who hung up his boots i 2017, he revealed that his desire to play had never completely gone. “It wasn’t my choice to quit, maybe that’s also why the window stayed open and that thing stayed inside me,” he explained, referring to the moment he quit playing football with Roma.
The bond with the ball was not, in fact, completely broken: as well as playing 8-a-side amateur football competitions with Totti Sports Club, Francesco continued to participate in events and exhibition games, keeping fit. “It would be difficult – Totti continues – but there are players who started playing again after many years… In 2-3 months I would be ready! Of course, for the Series A I should train well, but I could do half an hour.”
After all, the record holder for football longevity, the former Genoa Kazu Miura still in business at age 57, almost 10 years older than Totti, and English Stanley Matthews (the first Ballon d’Or in history) retired 5 days after his fiftieth birthday.
No for Lazio… maybe Inter?
As for the teams that could attempt a coup, Totti he wanted to clarify a few things right away. “Yes Lazio? I wouldn’t even consider it,” he said suddenly. In addition to the Arab hypotheses (“No, not abroad, if I had to do something crazy I would only do it in Italy”). And between the serious and the facetious the prospect to see Totti in Series A with a different shirt from a shirt Roma (the only one he threw in his career) is definitely newsworthy. More openness, compared to Lazio, with a pinch of irony, towardsBetween: “Maybe Inter will call me,” he said Totti to joke. “We’ll change the locker room, I’ll bring the Chinese players!” A perfect mix of irony and seriousness typical of the former Giallorossi captain.
The desire to never stop
“I asked myself, why are they still looking for me? Maybe I need them!” he said Totti, continue to joke about the fact that, despite the years, the call of the field is always strong. Even if for now it’s just “bar talk,” the possibility that Francesco Totti It is possible to return to the Serie A parks still open.
“Never say never,” he said with a smile, the same one Totti he shows in response to those who asked him if he sees any “ten” today Italy: “Maybe he could come back,” referring to himself. “Today there is not much quality and I could really play again. But now don’t make articles where I say I’m going back to play…”, he said Totti.
