Has nobody watched a testimonial before? I feel like I am speaking another language. The purpose is for Totti to play with Roma legends against another team of legends. It is usually another team of past/current players. But it can also just be another team of players with no club connection. Totti has no connection to another team other than Roma.
It should be Roma legends verse a team of Serie A/world legends as chosen by Totti himself. In fact let him pick both teams.
Roma v Italian legends would be a nice event. Real Madrid I can see as Roma have played them quite a few times over his career, he even made his debut in a friendly against them I believe and was close to joining, everyone knows his admiration for them. I just don't see how a team of legends from man u or liverpool has any draw or does him justice.
Totti's testimonial matches in FM always have Osvaldo and Borriello as the Roma "legends." A single tear goes down my cheek every time I see that.
Venticinque anni dopo: quanto sarebbe importante ritrovare l’abbraccio della Sud nella prossima stagione. “Per tutti, per me, per la Società, per la squadra, spero veramente che possano tornare il prima possibile a occupare il loro posto, anche perché con loro al nostro fianco riusciremmo sicuramente a dare il 101 per cento in più. Senza di loro si complica un po’ tutto. Conoscendo come sono fatti, sperando che possano risolvere tutti i loro problemi nel settore, sono fiducioso: spero veramente di passare il mio ultimo anno con loro e di gioire insieme. Spero di poter riuscire a vincere il mio secondo Scudetto con la Roma”. From his lips to everyone involved ears. Take down the barriers and find a compromise on the rest. Keep our core players add some depth and we can challenge Juve this year!!!!!
So he confirmed next season will be his last, and he has a six year deal as a technical director waiting for him. Interested to hear what he will be doing in that role as Totti made it sound like he didn't want to just be a mascot post-retirement.
