The former Giallorossi captain on a possible return to Roma: “Mourinho said something… let’s wait and see.”
Francesco Totti who was a present guest at the Italian Padel Awards, answered some questions after the event. One of his responses suggests the possibility of his return to Roma and, above all, about his strong bond with Mourinho.
The Special One had previously expressed a desire to have a significant figure in the club who could accompany him during crucial moments: “I want to fight for more. I’m a bit tired of being a coach, a communication man, the one who puts his face out there to say we’ve been robbed…”
Perhaps Mou’s request could soon be fulfilled and Totti will join him next year.
Is it true that Mourinho wants you at Roma?
“I think so, that’s what he said, right? Or did you write nonsense? Mourinho said something… Let’s wait and see.“
Have you talked to him on the phone?
“We exchange messages from time to time. He’s a great person, a great man, and as a coach, he’s absolutely the greatest. To win, you do need players, but having a great coach is the perfect combination. And who better than Mourinho, a man that haswon the most in the world.”
Would you return to Roma next year?
“Next year, it’s possible that I’ll already be here.”
If you were to play with Lukaku up front?
“We would have clashed with everyone. Now, It’s time to see Lukaku and Dybala together.”
Regarding the Lukaku-Dybala partnership? Can Roma make it to the Champions League with that duo?
“We haven’t seen it yet; they’ve never played together. We expect great things. The season has just started a bit slower, but it’s still early.”
What do you think about Lukaku’s two goals with Belgium?
“Belgium is one thing, Roma is another. Roma is Roma, period.”
