Have you ever wondered what would have happened if Francesco Totti was recalled for the 2010 World Cup? In case you don’t know, he topped the list for the most number of assists in the previous world cup when Italians held their heads high claiming the champions tag.
In the match against Bari, the Roman Icon yet again proved why he is so important to the club. Roma went to win the game by 2 goals to 3, but it was only for their talismanic captain who scored twice in the hard fought match. Totti surpassed another legend Roberto Baggio by scoring 206 goals in Seria A.
After the match, Totti wore a shirt that read “The King of Rome is not dead and he will never die”. Only a few clubs in today’s game get such icons. Next target for the Roman King will be Giuseppe Meazza and Jose Altafini with 216 goals, which is quite achievable.
Totti made his first senior team debut after spending three years with the youth team. He was 16 at that time. He was named as the captain in 1997. He scored 13 goals playing as a trequartista in 2001 when Roma won the league under Fabio Capello’s managerial skills.
Till now, the Captain has helped Roma on numerous occasions. Totti is working for the welfare of children as well since joining UNICEF as a welfare ambassador in 2003.
Apart from the King of Rome, Roma have been linked to yet another name, his time Kranjcar from Premier League. We'll ave to wait till the summer transfer market to see who really comes in and goes out.
Forza Roma!
