Opinion | "time out" Long live King Francesco Totti!

Actually, that title belongs yes Umberto Nicola Tommaso Giovanni di Savoia. Although his term of office was short-lived miserably. 33 days he was allowed to call themselves king. In June 1946 he was chased from the farm and announced the official end of the monarchy. But at least the term "last king" seemed reserved for him.

If not for Francesco Totti. Sunday night, against AS Bari AS Roma, a league match of the Serie A. One of the crazier variety. Three red cards, three penalty and the decision to 3:2 in favor of the Roma in the fourth minute of injury time. In Rome, was whether the good news the hell, they paid homage to Totti, the captain, the great-Romans.

Two goals he had scored, but also a missed penalty, but so be it. It was his number 13 and 14 goals this season, his league goals 205 and 206 One more than Roberto Baggio, he now has on the credit side, in fifth place of eternal ranking it is waged. And what made Totti? The lupfte his jersey, revealing a T-shirt printed with the following modest: "The King of Rome is not dead" It was a phrase he had borrowed from an English journalist, told Totti.

That had used him as Totti excelled in the derby against Lazio with two goals. "I must confess," Totti said yesterday in his blog, "the same like me, because it's true. I never die" In England you can now bet that it Totti, the 34-year-old, at some point manage to crack Silvio Piolas Ligabestmarke of 274 gates.

Impossible? Because of say the Roma fans, after all, its mayor already had smoked for years: ". The AS Roma without Totti, it's like Rome without the Coliseum" The immortal monarch up, even if Italy is a republic for decades.
