The former Espanyol star hails the Giallorossi legend after his goal-scoring feat against Cesena last weekend...
AS Roma striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Francesco-Totti-c13940 as the ‘best Italian player of all time'.
Totti recently became the highest goal-scorer in Serie A while playing for a single club. The talismanic striker went past Gunnar Nordahl’s record of 211 goals after scoring a brace against Cesena this weekend.
The 35-year-old has been an icon of Giallorossi, having played more than 600 matches for the club. The skipper has been inspirational behind his team’s success throughout his playing career, and despite attracting huge offers from big clubs such as Real Madrid and Manchester Unite, he opted to remain at Rome.
Osvaldo, who joined http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 have produced so far.
While talking to Ansa News agency, Osvaldo said,
“Francesco is unique,” “He’s not only a phenomenon; he’s actually the best Italian player of all time…”
The Argentine-born striker insisted that he would love to play alongside Totti in the upcoming Euro 2012. He believes that the Giallorossi skipper will add a lot to the national team if he is selected for the competition.
“To go to the European Championship alongside Totti would be a dream,” continued the summer signing from Espanyol.
Gli Azzurri manager, Cesare Prandelli, recently revealed that he would consider selecting Totti for the upcoming Euro 2012. First-choice forwards, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giuseppe-Rossi-c15027, are major doubts for the competition, as the duo have still not recovered from their surgeries. Cassano recently underwent a heart operation, while Rossi is nursing a knee injury.
Osvaldo turned his attentions to summer signing, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Erik-Lamela-c12758, and has tipped the Argentine to be a huge success at Stadio Olimpico Rome. He insisted that Lamela will be a big player for Roma, and will be close to the standards of Totti.
“I think that Lamela has only reached 50 per cent of his potential. I don’t know if he will be Totti’s heir, but he’ll go close.”
The duo was involved in a bust-up earlier in the season, and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Osvaldo-c28821 was handed a 10 day ban by the club.
