Francesco Totti admitted that he could have won a lot of trophies elsewhere, but he chose to remain at Roma and it was worth it. The 40-year-old captain of the Wolves made his debut for the club in March 1993 and played 782 matches. During this period, the Prince of Rome won the Scudetto only once and twice the Cup of Italy.
`My debut was a dream come true.`, recalls Totti. `As a fan of Roma, debuting for the team was my big dream. Not to mention being the captain of the team. It is an amazing responsibility. As a kid, I had a dream to wear the shirt of Roma and to never give up the idea. `
`Rome is the most beautiful city in the world. You can always be surprised by something new. A corner or a detail. As a Roman and a Roma player, it is an honor for me to finish my career here. Certainly, I could win many trophies elsewhere, but my greatest triumph is to keep loyalty to Roma.`, Totti said.
The Prince of Rome was asked and how the game has changed from his debut so far. `The rhythm is completely different, the intensity is another. The physical aspect yields to the technical. But I would say that this is a natural progression for me. The experience I have gained over the years, helped me a lot.`
`The language of football is universal, but I think the physical aspect took precedence in the past 10 years. It used to be easier to use the technique to get out of a difficult situation. Tactics are different.`, added Totti.
