One of the Italian football icons and legends of the game, Francesco Totti, gave a brilliant interview to The Guardian.
The player spoke about many topics, one of which was the opportunity he had to sign for AC Milan when he was young. Here are his words:
"Milan? The most exciting team I’d ever seen, the only one I fantasised about playing in."
If his parents had taken the view that a 150m lira (€75,000) cheque was too good to turn down, might he have ended up in red and black?
"Honestly, no. The decisions were always made by me, with my own head. Often your parents will give you advice. And it’s right to listen to them. But then, in the end, being so young, I knew I had time and a future in front of me.”
