The thing about Totti is that he knew perfectly what he was doing as the shot was either off target or covered by Boruc, on the other hand others would have just tried to avoid the contact with the ball...
that's what vision and experience means. he just touched enough the ball to avoid the off-balanced keeper to do anything with it. And it was not a deflection, he intentionally changed the ball's direction. Anyone could see it

From Wikipedia Napoli tried to renamed the San Paolo to Diego Maradona but the Italian law prohibiting public buildings (including Stadium) to be named after any person who has not been dead for at least 10 years.
Totti also had something lovely to say on PEscara's achievement (translation may be a bit off, came through google): "Congratulations Mr. Zeman, to you and the whole team. You are unique and inimitable ... You're just football. And I want to congratulate with Caprari: before he left here I told him that, for its growth, be coached by you at Pescara would be the best. My thoughts are also for Franco Mancini, the goalkeeper that I scored my first goal in the league against. I feel that there, in Heaven, he has put his Pescara back in Serie A."
I think it was a memorial match in Palermo for the anniversary of the Judge Falcone who was murdered 20 years ago by a Mafia carbomb.
Totti can do 15 goals next year under zeman.He made Vucinic score 19 with leece out of all. Even Osvaldo, Bojan , Lamela will score goals for fun under him.
It will be interesting. Pescara had 3 attackers finishing on over 15 domestic goals this season, we didn't have one. Osvaldo came closest by finshing on 11, Totti with 8 and Bojan and Borini both on 7. The more I think of last season, the more pathetic it feels.
We all agree that we want the best for roma, its just everyone has different way for roma to be better & more successful.

I have a feeling he's going to get on the scoresheet against Bologna this Sunday. He loves scoring against them.
