Francesco Totti

Awesome, Il Capitano ("Capitano"), Il Re di Roma ("King of Rome"), although the "King of" Roma "would be more correct when it comes to the striker and midfielder of the Italian football club Francesco Totti. All these terms sounded in the address of an athlete who spent a quarter of a century on the football field, and these 25 years were given to one club.

Francesco was born in September 1976 and became the second child of a bank clerk Lorenzo and housewife Fiorella. The boy fell in love with football at an early age, according to legend, he learned to play the ball before he could walk, and often took this sports attribute with him to bed. Growing older and developing speed qualities, Cesco took an example from his idol Pietro Mennea, the winner of the Moscow Olympics in the 200 meter race.

In addition to the usual, Totti went to church school. The footballer recalled that in adolescence he had to worry about whether the dream of great sports achievements would come true. Then the 13-year-old boy showed a growth retardation, Francesco went to the doctors for a long time. And suddenly he grew up. The athlete decided that this was God's will, it was not for nothing that he constantly read prayers.

At the age of seven, Totti entered the Roma football school, at the age of thirteen he already played in the youth club Fortitude Lutidor. Two years later, he learned the secrets of the game of millions at Smith Trastevere.

The agents of Lazio had an eye on the talented guy, and the representatives of Milan were given a turn from the gate by the mother of the young footballer. The explanation was simple - more than one generation of the family was rooting exclusively for Roma. Then, according to the legendary tenth issue, he realized that the house is the most important thing.

In the main line-up of the "wolves", as the Roman club is called, Francesco made his debut in March 1993 in a match against the Brescia team, according to other sources - in the Italian Cup match against Sampdoria. The first goal was scored in 1994 in a friendly against Valencia.

By 1995, Francesco was making regular appearances in the starting lineup and scored 16 goals over the next three seasons. In his interviews, Totti always stated that the club's mentor Carlo Mazzone helped him to reveal himself as a football player and reach stellar heights.

With the appearance of the Czech coach Zdenek Zeman, the Italian was finally assigned a place in the main squad, Roma's attacking style of play began to build on Totti, who soon put on the captain's armband. Under the leadership of Zeman, the footballer became the author of 30 goals, received the Italian Football Players Association prize as the best young player.

When Fabio Capello took over at the helm of the team and brought Roma to 6th place in the national championship, Francesco was awarded the title of Italian Football Player of the Year.

The athlete considers the 2000-2001 season a dream come true, which can only be in his career. Then the club was led by Capello, and Marco Delvecchio and Gabriel Batistuta played on the same field with Totti. To the title of winner in the major league of the national championship "Serie A" Cesco added the title of one of the highest paid football players in the world.

The next three years, the striker regularly suffered injuries, due to which he had to miss half the season. However, in 2003, Francesco set the record for goals scored in Serie A, and was again recognized as the best player in the country.

The greatness of Francesco is not only in the fact that he turned an ordinary penalty or a pass along the edge into art. How many football players are there whose sports biography began, blossomed and ended in one and only club? In addition, the "Emperor of Rome" holds the record for the number of goals in Serie A, for the number of appearances in the Derby Della Capital, for the number of matches and goals for Roma in Eurocups. In the Italian championship he played 619 games, according to this indicator he is second only to Milan defender Paolo Maldini.

According to Cesco, of all the proposals to change the club, he remembered the one received from Real Madrid, there was only one step left before leaving. And despite the fact that the football player could win a lot of other titles with the Spaniards, he remained:

At current prices in world football, the transfer would have cost the Italian club € 200 million. Totti defended the colors of his home club in 786 matches, scoring 307 goals. Together with the "wolves" Francesco won the championship, two Cups and two Italian Super Cups, and also became the world champion in 2006 in the Italian national team, for which he played 58 matches and scored 9 goals. The only award that the famous player does not have is the Golden Ball.

Francesco is happily married to TV presenter and model Ilari Blazi, with whom he brings up his son Christian and daughters Isabelle and Chanel.

Totti met his wife at a disco. Despite the fact that Ilari was rooting for the rival team Lazio, the girl agreed to go on a date. Then the footballer invited his beloved to a match with the very opponent whom Roma had exponentially defeated. And Cesco, during the celebration of the victory, showed a T-shirt with the words "You are unique". From his wife, Totti took over the habit of sucking his thumb when he scored a goal.

The wedding of the couple became a high-profile event in Italy and was broadcast on television. Totti donated the money raised in this way to a shelter for homeless animals.

The couple jointly own the Never Without You clothing line, the Number Ten football school, and the Totti Top Sport motorcycle racing team that competes in the world circuit racing championship. In addition, Francesco wrote several books and starred in films. The footballer, nicknamed the Gladiator, has the appropriate appearance - 181 cm tall and weighing 82 kg. Such data did not leave advertisers indifferent: Totti was the face of Nike, Diadora, Fiat.

The family loves to relax on the beach, even the Instagram page begins with a photo of children and parents sitting on the seashore.

In May 2017, the legend of Italian football hung up his boots and ended his football career. The last game fell on the match against Genoa in the 38th round of the Italian championship.

Totti immediately received the post of technical director of Roma and, in addition, a special award from the President of UEFA. There are only 17 people marked with such a sign of attention, including Eusebio, Franz Beckenbauer, Alfredo Di Stefano, Johan Cruyff.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Francesco later enrolled in coaching courses in Trigoria to obtain his license. However, according to the Italian Coaches Association, he changed his plans for coaching and did not start training.

After Totti finished playing at Roma, he received an offer from the Japanese club of the second division Tokyo Verdi, and the Italian seriously considered him. However, the footballer's wife opposed the move to Japan. According to the president of the team Hideyuki Hanyu, Francesco agreed to the transition, but Ilari could not be convinced of the expediency of such a step.

In March 2018, the Italian bookmaker Sisal began accepting bets at odds of 100 on the return of the Roma legend to Serie A. ".

In February of the same year, Totti took part in the Cup of Legends held in Moscow at the Luzhniki Small Sports Arena. According to the footballer, the tournament turned out to be difficult, firstly, because of not the best coverage of the stadium, and secondly, the players “at a certain age, when they feel tired”. Nevertheless, Francesco was glad to meet old friends with whom he had met on the field, and noted the warm welcome of the Russian fans.

Shortly before the match, the home stadium "Stadio Olimpico", where "Roma" trains, was visited by the Ambassador of the World Cup Viktoria Lopyreva. She met with the technical director and former Roma footballer Francesco Totti, who presented her with the number 10 jersey that she once played under.
