Flags in modern football are said to no longer exist. Even those in the past, those who have made the history of the most important Italian clubs, however, are not doing very well, outside of a world that seems to be afraid of what they represent or have represented. Francesco Totti is one of them, away from football and Rome after a short adventure as a manager: "I miss a little not being in the world of football - admitted the flag of Rome - but I'm fine anyway. A figure like mine, that of Maldini or Del Piero, becomes suffocating. If you are competent and important, this happens, obviously the clubs have other objectives or thoughts".
"If they keep us away from clubs, it's because we become heavy, an important name like ours overshadows everything else and maybe that's not what they want. I would like to cover a position in football, but it must be demanding and above all important", continued the Roma legend.
There has been a lot of talk about the return of former captain Totti to the club in Rome, but also about Del Piero joining Juventus or Paolo Maldini ready to return to Milan with the support of an Arab consortium. However, "Pupone" is not so convinced: "There is a lot of talk about this in the city, but then if you squeeze the lemon - he commented for Sky Sport - little or nothing comes out. No one has ever called me and I didn't expect it. But we are all happy, me and them too. Maybe something less fans...".
