Francesco Totti – a proper one-club man.
“We did our job by winning and hope they slip up”.
“Second place doesn’t depend on us, but Torino play good football, they are always tough to beat on home turf and Napoli will not have an easy game tonight. Their support is precious”.
And the veteran captain made his latest cameo from the bench on Sunday to set up Miralem Pjanic’s result-capping strike after Radja Nainggolan and Antonio Rudiger had put the Giallorossi on course for a fourth win in a row.
Chievo were rattled but recovered well to get Wojciech Szczesny working when Paul-Jose M’Poku found Antonio Floro Flores for an angled drive that looked destined for the far corner until Roma’s Polish goalkeeper intervened.
Totti was given a standing ovation before he even kicked a ball in anger when he replaced Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah on the hour. Despite this limited match action, the former Italy worldwide has been productive with his time, scoring five goals and providing three assists in 360 minutes.
Only Inter Milan legend Javier Zanetti (615) and AC Milan great Paolo Maldini (647) have made more appearances in Serie A.
Palermo crept out of the Serie A relegation zone by grinding out a point from a goalless draw at Fiorentina. “I enjoy myself playing for this team”. “I’m proud of the players, and of the club”.
