To the microphones of betsson.sport, Francesco Totti he answered many questions from fans regarding his career in the world of football:
What did Zeman mean?
“One of the most important coaches, he raised me physically and mentally, I consider him one of the most important coaches of my career.”
Did Lazio look for you at the beginning?
“I played with Lodigiani. They called my parents and said I had two possibilities: Roma and Lazio, fortunately everyone chose Roma because I was a fan. If they had chosen Lazio I don’t know what would have happened…”.
The ‘4 and home’ gesture?
“It was a Roma-Juve match, there was a small argument on the pitch with Tudor. I had received an elbow on the arm, instinctively I turned and made that gesture, but without making fun of him. We Romans have these ways of doing things… “.
Ever thought about being a coach?
“I never thought about being a coach…”.
Best career goal?
“I don’t know yet… Maybe I have two in mind: in Genoa against Sampdoria and the lob in Milan against Inter. It’s not easy to choose.”
Ever thought about the Golden Ball?
“It wasn’t my priority… It’s one of the most important trophies, but I still didn’t understand how it could be won. The best player or the one who won with his team? I came closest in 2000-2001 , if we had won the European Championship perhaps…”.
Do the flags still exist?
“They’re finished. Maybe only the handle is left…”.
Roma player who reflects you?
“Objectively no one… If anything, someone should approach me. I’ve done what I’ve done for 25 years, it’s not easy”
The thing you wouldn’t do again and the thing you would have liked to do?
“If I could go back I wouldn’t do the bad football gesture to Balotelli again, these are things that shouldn’t happen. A similar gesture is bad especially to show to those young people who want to become footballers. I would never do it again and I apologize to him publicly, even though he knows the reason.”
