Rome dreams of the return of Totti and the axis with Mourinho

The former 10 and the Portuguese coach have an excellent relationship. It would be perfect to see them together. In Trigoria no one is unbalanced, but many are expecting a possible twist soon

Totti and Roma, an indissoluble bond. For Francesco, of course. But also for the Romanist people, who for 25 years appreciated and admired him in the middle of the field, as a bulwark positioned there, to protect an infinite love. And seeing him again in the Giallorossi, after his first two-year experience as an executive (from 2017 to 2019), whets the appetites of many. Not only of the Friedkins, who have been revolving around this idea for a while without ever really caressing it live, but who sooner or later will find a way to sit down with the historic Giallorossi captain to understand how and when to start working together . It is a path that seems almost written in the stars, in destiny. And that in recent times seems to have experienced an important acceleration compared to the past.

Just the idea of ​​being able to have two totems in companies like Totti and Mourinho drives people crazy. Just the thought, just the idea of ​​seeing them there, together, to work in Trigoria for the good of Rome, be it present or future. Because these two are without any risk of denial the two strongest figures ever in the history of the Giallorossi, regardless of their more or less long past and their past in and out of Trigoria. Certainly there is that nothing and no one in Rome has had more impact than Francesco and José, even if at different times and in different ways.

Because one is the one who gave his life (and prestige) to Rome, the other is the leader who has won everything, the most successful coach in Roman history. But, above all, the one who fights for the people against the strong powers and the alleged wrongs, arbitration or otherwise. The two of them are more important than Rome, in terms of media, but also on a charismatic level, in terms of their grip on people. And the mere thought of seeing them together in Rome sends many fans into raptures. Because if Totti is infinite love, Mourinho is struggle, battle, ardor.

the city

Yesterday in Rome, of course, there was talk of it. Even if in reality we have been talking about it for a while. Because in the last three months Francesco Totti has returned to approach Rome more and more often, at the stadium but not only. There are contacts with Friedkin (regardless of his professional agreement with Digitalbits, the main sponsor of the club), the relationship with GM Tiago Pinto is straightforward and sincere, friends in Trigoria are certainly not lacking. In short, the city knows very well that the conditions to be able to return to see Totti work for Roma are all there, many are just waiting for them to materialize.

Which, of course, won’t happen anytime soon. Neither today, nor tomorrow so to speak, but almost certainly not even in a month. Should the opportunity arise, it will probably be at the end of the season, in the summer, perhaps starting to plan something new and different for Roma’s tomorrow. Yesterday there was also talk of this, in short, of how Totti could go back inside and where he could give added value, an upgrade to the current Roma managerial structure.

the great expectation

And most likely the affection that people always make him feel will show it to him even stronger than before on March 5, when Roma will host Atalanta at the Olimpico, on paper almost certainly the last great chance to be able to still join the team. train-Champions (even if the possibilities are really remote). That day, barring sensational twists, Totti will still be at the stadium, as he has often and willingly done in recent times, on the last occasion accompanied by Daniele De Rossi (just to reiterate what kind of relationship there is between the two , in the face of those who have always wanted to put them in opposition) to see the match against Verona. And the South curve, but not only, will make him understand how the Giallorossi totem remains. And the totems are always better to have them inside the fort.
