Francesco Totti aims to win the UEFA Champions League for A.S Roma before retiring: Serie A news
A.S Roma striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Francesco-Totti-c13940, has revealed that he wants to win the UEFA Champions League before calling time on his career.
Totti, who has spent his entire professional club career with Roma, has won all the domestic honours with the club and has also won the FIFA World Cup with the Italian National side, but he is yet to get his hands on a Champions League winner’s medal.
Roma finished on the 6th spot in the recently concluded Serie A campaign which means that Totti’s dream of winning the Europe’s most elite competition cannot be fulfilled in the next season.
Totti is not ruling out the option of winning the Scudetto, which he has won only once in his career in 2001, but his main aim is to win the Champions League.
Talking to the reporters Totti said, “I certainly wouldn’t throw the Scudetto away if I won that, but the Champions League is the only trophy I haven’t won. If I win that, then I can retire.”
The Giallorossi will be featuring in the UEFA Europa League next season and the Italian international is hoping that his team triumphs in the competition to set a base to win the Champions League the season after.
The 34-year-old is hoping that the new club owners will fulfil the promise of growth and development of the team and will invest in new players in the summer transfer window.
“I hope for a great Roma side that can win at international level as well as in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926. The economic situation is the most important thing for a club. The Americans can do a lot for us and I expect a great deal from them. Of course, it’s also up to us to
give back what the club owners provide. I hope the new stadium can be constructed before I hang up my boots.” added the Italian international
Totti has been a legendary figure for the club and has made more than 600 appearances for La Maggica in his almost 20-year stay at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603.
