TOTTI NOT SURE HE IS READY TO QUIT
Totti might postpone his
retirement, as he hinted at a new adventure, following his emotional farewell
at Roma.
Totti came off the bench to
help Roma to a 3-2 win on the final game of the season, sending them to second
and automatic UCL qualification.
It was confirmed the legendary
Roma player would not be signing a new contract and he was expected to take a
non-player role at the club, but that might not be the case.
“I like to think of my career
as a fairytale to tell – and this is the worst part,” Totti said. “Now it
really is over.
“I take off my shirt for the
last time. I will fold it nicely, even if I have to admit I’m not ready to say
it’s over and maybe I never will be.
“Sorry if during this period I
didn’t give interviews or clarified my thoughts, but it’s not easy to switch
that light off. Now I am afraid. It’s not the same fear you have in front of
the goal when you need to score a penalty. This time I cannot see through the
holes in the net what lies beyond.
“So allow me to be a little
afraid. This time I am the one who needs you and your warmth. What you’ve
always shown me. With your affection, I will certainly be able to turn the page
and throw myself into a new adventure.”
“It is impossible to sum up 28
years in a few sentences,” Totti said. “I’d like to do so with a song or poem,
but I can’t write any.
“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. Speaking of childhood, can you guess what my favourite toy
was? A football, of course! And it still is today.
“At some point in life, you
grow up – that’s what I’ve been told and that’s what time has decided. Damned
time.
“Back on June 17, 2001, we all
wanted time to pass a little more quickly. We couldn’t wait to hear the referee
blow the final whistle. I still get goosebumps now when I think back to it.
“Today, time has come to tap me
on the shoulder and say: ‘We have to grow up. As of tomorrow, you’ll be an
adult. Take off those shorts and boots because starting today, you are a man.
You can no longer enjoy the smell of the grass, the sun on your face as you
bear down on the opposition’s goal, the adrenaline consuming you, the joy of
celebrating.’
“Over the past few months, I’ve
asked myself why I’m being awoken from this dream. Imagine you’re a child
having a good dream… and your mother wakes you up to go to school. You want to
keep dreaming… you try to slip back into the dream but you never can.
“This time, it’s not a dream,
but reality. And I can no longer slip back in.”
