Time flies too fast, from winter to spring rain, and in the blink of an eye, 2022 has reached the end of March, almost april, which means that the first season of this year is almost over. Think this year will pass quickly? In fact, looking back at his past years, it is more like a white colt, just like March 28 29 years ago, it is a former Italian name who has hung up his boots for several years to make his debut in Serie A, and this young Italian player who was only 16 years old at the time has become the main force of the team and even the national team, winning the lost Serie A championship for his favorite team for many years, and has won the Lost World Cup for the national team for many times. The former star is most respected for his loyalty to the team, playing for only one team in his lifetime.
Who is the former Italian star? It was Totti, known as the "Prince of Rome". Totti, a native of Rome, Italy, has loved football since childhood, and has become a loyal fan of Serie A team Roma, and regards giuseppe Giannini, the first "Prince of Rome", the main star who was also born and raised in Rome at that time. Totti successfully joined the youth army of the love team Roma at the age of 13, spent 3 years in the youth army, showed a very talented performance, attracted the attention of the then team manager Boskov, and even gradually gained the appreciation of the late former Yugoslav manager, and was promoted to the first team. On 28 March 1993, roma beat Brescia 2-0 in serie A, when Totti, who was only 16 years, 6 months and 1 day old, came on as a substitute three minutes before the end of the game, playing for Roma for the first time and also completing his debut in Serie A.
After that, Totti became an important player of the team, initially as a left winger, with his skillful footwork and top-notch transmission skills, he quickly became the main force of the team's front line; then he was arranged to move into the middle as his familiar offensive midfielder, in addition to becoming the team's offensive center, he also released his subsequent scoring ability and became one of the team's top scorers. By October 1998, Totti, who had just turned 22 at the time, had been entrusted by then-manager Syman to take over the captain's armband and officially became the captain of the team until he hung up his boots in 2017, when he played 786 games for Roma, scored 307 goals, won two Coppa Italia for the team, and regained the lost Serie A title in 2001.
Over the years, Roma has produced many well-known stars, but among many stars, why is Totti called "Prince of Rome"? In addition to winning the long-awaited league title for the team, it is also because of Totti's love and loyalty to the team. In his career, Totti, who has excellent skills and scoring ability, has always been chased by major European giants, among which La Liga giants Real Madrid have paid a high price, but even if Roma was in financial difficulties to sell the main force of the squad for many years, the strength of the team was damaged, and thus farther and farther away from the main champions, Totti was not moved, has always been loyal to the mother team, and shouldered the responsibility of leading the mother team through the difficulties, absolutely can be rich and prosperous and can share the hardships; in 2006, after winning the World Cup for the national team for 24 years Totti, in order to concentrate on the team's competition, announced his retirement from the national team before he was 30 years old. If you don't really love the team, you would never do anything that affects your future, so in the eyes of Roma fans, Totti's status is very high, even more recognized and supported than the mayor of Rome.
In the blink of an eye, Totti has been retiring for almost 5 years, and when will Roma and even Italy have such a talented star born again? Can't help but sigh!
