Francesco Totti

Francesco Totti, (born September 27, 1976 in Rome) is an Italian football player, who currently plays for A.S. Roma in Serie A and for the Italian national team, who are the current world champions after winning the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

Francesco Totti’s position is that of a striker or an attacking midfielder, though he’s best known for playing as the “trequartista”, a compromise between the two positions where the player acts as a link between midfield and attack. He is also Roma’s first choice to take free kicks, having scored a number of goals from dead-ball situations.

Totti is widely recognised as the symbol of Roma, having never left the team despite the possibility of playing in stronger and richer clubs, and being the number one goalscorer in the club’s history.
