Roma is in, but Francesco Totti prefers not to rush things.

The former Giallorossi captain, now an advisor for Maxima Roma, spoke to Rai Sport on the sidelines of the presentation of the capital’s basketball team, also focusing on the title race.

Regarding the potential battle for first place, Totti names two teams but postpones any decision: “Roma and Inter are the candidates for the title, we’re not saying anything and we’ll wait for the rest of the season. We’ll see in 10 or 15 matchdays.”

Meanwhile, his bond with the Giallorossi remains intact. Totti doesn’t hide his satisfaction with the team’s start and reiterates what Roma means to him: “I will never put Roma aside, it’s my skin. We’re here, we’ve started well, and I hope it can continue at this level.”

The former number 10 then rejected the idea that the new adventure could be a response to those who didn’t involve him in other projects: “Am I taking revenge on those who didn’t seek me out? It’s not a reprisal, but a project that’s excited me. I’m happy because for me, sport comes first.”
