๐ฃ๏ธ Francesco Totti: "When I was 13, there was a knock at our door.
The men from AC Milan were asking me to join their football club. An opportunity to make it with a big Italian club. What would I choose?
Well, it was not my decision, of course.
My mamma was the boss. She still is the boss. And she was rather attached to her boys, letโs say. Like any Italian mother, she was a little overprotective. She did not want me to leave home for fear that something might happen.
โNo, no,โ she told the directors. Thatโs all she had to say. โMi dispiace. No, no.โ
That was the end. My first transfer was turned down by the boss.
My father took me and my brother to our matches on the weekend. But Monday through Friday, Mamma was in charge.
It was hard saying no to AC Milan. It would have meant a lot of money for our family. But my mother taught me a lesson that day. Your home is the most important thing in life.
Just a few weeks later, after being scouted at one of my youth matches, Roma made me an offer. I was going to wear the yellow and red."
