The Giallorossi legend, 12 goals and 14 assists in the matches against the Nerazzurri, crowns Bryan: “He is always there, to get us… Scudetto? If Gasp were to remain among the top players in the spring too with 7-8 games to go then it will be legitimate to dream”
48 times, more than any other team in his career. The luxury opponent, perhaps even his favorite for many reasons. Because Francesco Totti has played many battles against Inter: finals, epic challenges, matches that decided championships. With 12 goals and 14 assists, more than an average participation in a goal every two games. In short, Roma-Inter can only be a special match for him. “Because I have played a lot of matches against Inter – he says at the inauguration of the new Roman boutique of MooRER, of which he is ambassador -. I know well what this match means, especially in a moment like this, with Roma first in the league”.
the challenge

Yes, Saturday will be a special match, where Roma will have to put on their best suit “It’s one of those matches where you don’t need a jacket and tie but a helmet. Inter are probably the most elegant team in the championship, there will be a lot of fighting to do.” And then the key players, those who know how to make the difference, will have to decide. “I may be trivial, but Lautaro and Dybala are the players capable of changing the game. One, however, plays safely, the other is still unknown. But if I have to choose one player, I choose another.” A midfielder, one like Cristante. “Let’s go back to the previous discussion, about the helmet. We will have to fight and then in these cases the midfielders count. And in Roma there is one like Cristante with whom you are always on the safe side. De Rossi was right to have them like him… He is intelligent from a footballing point of view and always underrated, but on the pitch his presence can be felt. Bryan always gives you something extra and never takes his foot back.”
the objectives

Meanwhile, Roma are there, at the top of the table, with Inter trailing three points behind. “Let’s hope it can continue like this until the end. The journey is long, we need a lot of elegant clothes… I hope for a very long red carpet. But let’s wait before making definitive judgements, we’re still at the beginning. Let’s see, if it remains among the top teams in the spring too, with 7-8 games to go, then we can even dream. For now it’s premature to set such far-reaching objectives. But it has everything to at least aim for the Champions League, the main objective is that”.

And then we return to Inter and its challenges. With that spoon to Handanovic that went down in history. “The one at San Siro against Inter is probably the best goal of my career, even if I also care about the one in Genoa against Sampdoria. I think they are the two best of my life, even if they are two different clothes, so to speak. I did one with sneakers and one with moccasins, I leave the choice to you…”. Closing with the most romantic choice of life. “The decision to stay with Roma for 25 years. This is a choice that I wouldn’t change hands in my life. I don’t deny anything. It was a different choice, which differentiated me from all the other footballers.”
