Totti between nostalgia and the future: ‘Staying at one club for 25 years? Today impossible” – Betsson Sport interview

Betsson Sports presented anexclusive interview with one of soccer's most beloved legends: Francesco Totti, the outstanding ambassador of the sports infotainment brand. Conducted by the well-known journalist Fabrizio Romano, the video offers an intimate and exciting look at the former Roma captain's career, his most exciting memories and his vision of current soccer.

From the day of his farewell to soccer to the historic 2006 World Cup final, Francesco Totti reviews with sincerity and nostalgia the moments that have marked his career and his heart. "It is a day that we players would never want to experience, but unfortunately there is a beginning and there is an end", recounted the captain recalling the last game he played in a Roma jersey.

The story is enriched with untold anecdotes, such as the night before the World Cup final: "Gattuso and I, one on one, played scopetta, as they say in Rome, until six in the morning. We didn't sleep a wink, because the adrenaline was high, as was the desire for the next day to arrive as soon as possible ", Totti explained with a smile.

One of the most poignant passages in the interview concerns the famous rejection to Real Madrid, a heartfelt choice that made him a true flagship of Roman soccer. "Sensi would never let me leave. For him, I was the only son " the former soccer player recounted, emphasizing the deep connection with his city and his team.

Then there was no shortage of reflections on today's soccer, from coaches to emerging talent. Among his hopes for Roma's future, Totti expressed his desire to see Daniele De Rossi growing as a coach, recognizing his talent and determination: "I see him wanting, determined, I see him doing everything he does with passion. He has good room for improvement. A communicator like him I think he can have a great future as a coach."

Among the many names discussed, there was no shortage of references to new rising stars, such as Nico Paz, a young talent from Como, and considerations of the soccer market, from the impact of the Saudi League to the prospects of Italian players such as Davide Frattesi.

The interview continues with words of esteem toward José Mourinho, whom Totti calls "one you would always want in your team" and with a reflection on his unrepeatable career: "Staying for 25 years in the same team will be almost impossible for anyone today".

An honest, compelling and emotionally charged dialogue that once again confirms Francesco Totti as one of the most iconic and beloved figures in world soccer. The full interview is available at this link, on the Youtube channel of Betsson Sports.
