The former striker Francesco Tottia true flag bearer for Roma, spoke to The Messenger providing several of his personal assessments regarding the present of the yellow and red club of the Capital. He says: “A mix of players, in the end four were taken together. I still haven’t understood it. With 70 million I would have made other choices, not two players but at least four or five. Dovbyk? The striker had to be taken and less than 30 million is difficult. But I like Kone. With certain crazy expenses Roma must necessarily get to the Champions League. If you invest 100 million and don’t get there it’s a total failure. And without it, Daniele (De Rossi, ed.) jumps first, he doesn’t get to the end”. About De Rossi: “He’s the lightning rod. And the one who loses is him, but fortunately he knows everything and everyone. At this moment he’s the only one who can be the coach of Roma. But have you seen what they said to him after these first games? Last year is the past, they’ve already forgotten everything. It’s easy to forget, look what happened to me”.
Similar speech about captain Pellegrini: “I love Lorenzo but only the pitch counts. He hasn’t played as he should have lately. And if you have a fan base against you, it’s difficult to play. Totti also spoke about Dybala: “Maximum respect and admiration, I’ve always said that he’s Roma’s strongest player and he needs to be protected. Now let’s see how they’ll handle him”.
