Francesco Totti

Football, to me, is a passion, more than a game. It is everything. But more than anything, it is love for Roma. I have always been Roma. There has never been anything else. ”

When you grow up, you gain experience and realise what youre capable of. ”

The first part of my life, as a player, has ended but now I'm heading into an equally important part as a manager, hoping to do as well as I did on the field. ”

I am not thinking about life after football, but I know it will be another life, another world. ”

During a game, it comes down to your mind - the pressure. There are loads of other aspects, too. Many people say taking penalties is easy, but when you're stood over one, that's not the case. It's in no way easy. The goal really does become a lot smaller. ”

To the children of yesterday, who have grown up and become parents, and to the children of today, who perhaps shout 'Tottigol,' I'd like to think that, for you, my career has become a fairytale for you to pass on. ”

Over the years, I've tried to express myself through my feet, which have made everything simpler for me ever since I was a child. ”
