FORGET LACK OF TITLES, TOTTI IS A LEGEND

Rafa Benitez once said that a lot of things that has to do with football are nothing but “lies.”


Most especially when it comes to metric used in placing players and clubs into the various categories from useless to greatest.

In spending 26 years at AS Roma, Francesco Totti finally hung up his boots at the age of 40 having joined theGiallorossi in 1989 as a 13-year old and lived his whole life in the city of Rome.

With the characteristic manner evaluations almost immediately trail retiring players, ball shot analysis of where the Italian belongs among the league of great players will for sure trail tabloids till another news worthy item drops. That is if he is even allowed the status of a great player.

The problem one-man squad professionals have – of course they are very few – isthe scoffy assumptions that players must prove themselves in different or at least bigger teams and leagues before they can be considered great.

Another harsher metric is the trophy counts especially the majors.

AQUILANI: NO REGRET QUITTING LIVERPOOL

Former Italian midfielder Alberto Aquilani has stated that he has no regrets about his ill-fated stint with Liverpool.


The former Liverpool midfielder arrived at the Merseyside from Roma in a deal that cost Liverpool around £17m. However, Aquilani’s Liverpool career was plagued with injuries that ensured the former Italian midfielder flopped during his stint in the premier league.

Aquilani throughout his Liverpool spell managed just 28 premier league appearances, eventually quitting the club in 2012, after brief loan spells with Ac Milan and Juventus.

Having left the premier league giant in 2012, Aquilani went on to play for Fiorentina for three years, and Sporting CP for one year. However, this summer, Aquilani signed for new boys Pescara where he now plies his trade.

Aquilani while reflecting on his spell at Liverpool this week, told Gazzetta Dello Sport that it was an honor playing at Anfield. Continue reading AQUILANI: NO REGRET QUITTING LIVERPOOL

Will Aquilani make a summer move to Pescara?

The Italian midfielder Alberto Aquilani is currently a player of Sporting CP where he managed to make 19 appearances during his debut season.


Back in August of 2009, Liverpool took a risk in signing Aquilani as the Premier League offloaded €20 million in securing the services of the Italian player who at that point in time was being hyped and even labeled as someone who could become the best player in the world.

He is potentially one of the best players in the world. He has been unlucky with injuries so far but I believe he will do really well in England.” Francesco Totti said back in 2009 as he said that Aquilani would have a successful career in Liverpool after being signed for €20 million.

Aquilani has not lived up to the expectations of the fans, managers and other players. Despite performing with top Italian clubs such as: Ac.Milan and Juventus, Aquilani could never truly stand out.
