Re: Serie A Thread - 2009/10 Season
well, Totti is like one of my favourite players of the past, Matt Le Tissier, a guy who decided to play his whole career in the same team.
And yes, it is really underrated:he's been the best 1-touch passer in the world in the last 15 years (something incredible, noone was so good doing that) and a fantastic striker since he started to play as center forward and not trequartista....by the way i think also gerd is right: Totti decided to stay in Rome also because there he's been the 8th king of the city, while in Madrid or Milan he'd been "only" one of the great player of a team full of great players.
another negative aspect about him is the "lack of nuts" , he has never done something like other players mentioned by lo zio: i mean, bringing a team to victory (or a final match) in a big international competition....baggio did it,maradona did it, cruyff did it, zidane did it, but totti has never done it (well, he played a nice Euro2000 but that's all)....
Considering the financial crisis of Roma, i think that a 5 years contract (earning millions and millions) is not a choice really useful for the team.... he's already a millionaire,he's old, so why doesn't he play with a low salary if he really love so much his club?
