Bless Francisco Tottti.
England's 442 magazine recently selected the world's 50 most influential players of all time, and Roma legend Totti was among them, along with Maradona, Pele, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, Matthews, Di Stefano and Baresi. In recognition of the influence of these stars, 442 magazine did not rank them, but only based on their last names. Totti's inclusion is a testament to the value of loyalty in international football. Throughout his career, Totti has only played for one team in Roma, and many ** believe that if he could have transferred to Real Madrid, he may have won the Ballon d'Or long ago.
In addition to Totti's inclusion in the Top 50 Influencers, Roma also received another accolade during the Christmas period, with points from European competitions over the past five seasons seeing Roma in the top 10 of UEFA's annual club rankings, the club's highest ranking in recent seasons, and quite a few** It is believed that Mourinho has worked hard, the Portuguese has led Roma to the European finals for two consecutive seasons, and last season's Budapest, if it wasn't for the referee Anthony Taylor, Roma may have won the Europa League. It is worth mentioning that among the top 10 teams in the annual club rankings, Roma has invested the least in the transfer market this season, which further reflects the difficulty of Mourinho leading the team to achieve these results.
In a few days, the winter transfer window in European football will open, and Roma manager Pinto will start to get busy again. Many Italians believe that this will be Pinto's last transfer window to cooperate with Mourinho, the two Portuguese hometown partners will part ways in the summer, compared to Mourinho who is still likely to stay, Pinto has basically confirmed to leave, and Roma has even found former sports director Massala, hoping that Massara can return to Rome in the summer to take over Pinto's business in the transfer market. Of course, Monza's François Modesto is also a candidate for Roma's sporting manager. Many Roma fans were overjoyed to hear the news, as they were fed up with the procrastination and hard-mouthed Pinto.
Mourinho's position is still on the radar of Italy, although Mourinho has stated in the previous press conference that he will not repeat the discussion of the topic he wants to stay, but fans and ** are waiting for the reply of Roma owner Friedkin. Friedkin did not attend the Christmas dinner and did not talk to Mourinho. Italy** reported that Roma's management is now divided into two factions, one group believes that if an FFP agreement can be reached with UEFA, then Mourinho should be kept if it can increase investment next season, and the madman can bring immeasurable commercial value to the team, but the other group believes that Mourinho can leave, the club is fed up with the embarrassment of being noisy all day long, and unable to enter the Champions League, and Roma should make a resolute change.
