totti is a legend idc what people think or say .... u can compare him to big names but how many of those players played for money?? totti has stayed with roma and will always be a roma player, so respect the man for that. plus hes a beast any way u look at it. Not many players play for the jersey like he does...the man is a legend period.
My aim is not to knock Zidane. There was no player better at recieving and controling the ball, and he accomplished more in his career thanTotti. But the two players can/should be compared. They are the two best playmakers of the 2000s, both are World Cup champions, only an extra time goal between them at EURO2000. Pele, Becknbauer, Maradona all at one time claimed that Totti was the best in the world. Totti's not widely recognized as an All-time great by most of the world. But he should be.
Totti won something that it's value is bigger than the Ballon D ' Or , he won the city of Rome , the AS Roma team and the heart of roman fans.He is very happy for his decision.
In what way do you think Zidane is "streets" ahead of Totti? For Club, Totti produced more goals and more assists than Zidane by far. And that is not just domestically, in the CL Totti has netted 16 times in 50 app compared to Zidane's 14 goals in 88 apps. I would be very interested which players you think were better than Totti during his prime. The only things holding Totti back from gaining more recognition, were his injuries and club loyalty which makes him a bit of a hero in my book.
@MrMabloom Luis Figo, Ronaldo, Theirry Henry, Rivaldo, Andriy Schevchencko, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, etc. I could go on and on but there are just a few of the players besides Zidane that are much better players than Totti in the past decade. Totti has never even finished in the top 3 of the ballon d'or. You are just a massive totti fanboy so you are extremely biased.
@Pomaori I have become a fan of Totti having watched him for years. But I'm not even a Roma supporter. Totti should have won the Ballon d'or in 2001 but of course most fans know this award is a joke. Michael Owen 01', Fat Ronaldo in 02', Cannavaro 06', Iniesta 2nd in 2010...it's comical really. You name some fine players, but would Roma rather have had any of them circa early 2000s over Totti, and the answer is a resounding NO. Good discusion btw.
@MrMabloom Ye mate, you have definitely opened my mind up to totti. I am honest in that I haven't really watched him enough and when I have it has been recently 2006- now. It is a shame he hasn't achieved more really. I still think most of those guys I named are better than totti and Roma would have been better off with one of them. Although it's hard to say a teams success depends on more than one player. I think Theirry Henry is the best striker in the world over the past decade
One of the best Italian footballers ever. Up there with the likes of Maldini Baggio Del Piero and Inzaghi...I consider vieri just a little bit below and Batistuta was argentinian
@HDRafiki Na of course not just my opinion, I know he plays well in Italy. Hes been 5 times player of the year in the Italian league. Every time i've seen him play for italy and in champs league hes been very average. Just my opinion.
@Pomaori before the injure francesco totti in my opinion was the best player in the world ( i'm sorry for my bad english). so i hope that you can see some matches like: Italy-netherland e italy- france (in euro2000) or Real M.-Roma in 2001 and 2002, Roma- Barcelona in 2002, roma- valencia in 2003. The real Totti in my opinion there was before the 2006, when the same pelè and maradona tell that he was in the that time the best in the world.
@Fra991 Best player in the world circa 2000-2006 ? I think Zinedine Zidane would have something to say about that. I'm sure he is a great player in the Italian League but in the champions league he is utter shit. Probably doesn't help that he plays for a crappy club, in recent history.
@Pomaori Fra is correct. In the early part of the decade Totti was tops, even better than Zidane. Totti is not as well recognized because he has stayed loyal to Rome. He dragged them to the scudetto and CL app. But football is a team game and Roma just didn't have the quality. Zidane had much more world wide exposure playing at Juve, Madrid, & for those winning French sides. If you remember Zidane often faltered in the CL and on the big stage. But is remembered for a few moments of class.
@MrMabloom I'm sorry but Zidane was a much better player than totti was, even at his prime. Zidane didn't peform on the big stage and CL?Wow, you musnt have seen the champions league final against leverkusen where he scored that volley. Or his Man of the match performances in the 98 world cup and euro 2000. Also his performances in the knockout stages of the 06 world cup, except the final. Zidane is streets ahead of totti and I could name a few players that are better than totti during his prime
@Pomaori As I said below, Zidane is known by the common fan for a few moments in the biggest of stages. Forgotten are his abysmal performances for Juve in 2 CL finals, quite frankly a weak EU96 and WC98(apart from the final), and with a few exceptions(England 04', Brazil 06') most often average displays in international tournaments after EU00. Zidane is a great player with amazing grace, touch, and skill. But don't be fooled into thinking he is an all time great because of his beautiful style.
@Pomaori I agree Zidan accomplished more than Totti will. But why? It is because he moved onto big clubs like Juve and Madrid. Had Zidane stayed at Cannes or Bordeaux would he have won all that silverware? Of course not. Despite offers from Real and other massive clubs to earn more Money, Totti chose to stay true to his team. This was clearly at the expense of his legacy, when fans such as yourself deem him "the most overrated player in the world" when in fact he is one of the most underrated.
@MrMabloom No it's not just because he moved to big clubs. Plenty of players move to big clubs and have little success but Zidane has done it all. Look at cristano ronaldo at Madrid; he has hardly won anything but he is a great player on a great team. Totti is overrated because people like you think he is better than Zidane when in reality all the evidence shows that Zidane is an all time great and totti was a top domestic player - not a world class star.
@Pomaori When zidane used to play with players like ronaldo , roberto carlos or gianluca vialli totti used to play with players like candela , assuncao or tommassi .This is the reason that Zidane won the champions league.The only team where totti could show his self as one of the greatest players in the world is in his national team and won the world cup 2006 even that he was injured.You judge totti because he didn't choose the life as a mercenary but he chose the life as true fooball player.
@XgrosskomterX Zidane had success everywhere he went not just at Madrid. Zidane is one of the reasons why Madrid were such a great team and his goal against Leverkusen won them the champions league. There is no comparison. Zidane was a European and international great. Totti is a serie A Italian great. I respect him for staying with Roma, but that doesn't make him a better player. He is overrated by people like you who without logic proclaim he is better than zidane when he isnt
@Pomaori Zidane had moderate success in France but of course never won a major trophy there. When he joined Juventus they were already Serie A and CL champions. They didn't win another CL with him although they did get to the final twice. When he joined Real Madrid they were already La Liga and CL champions. The Galacticos only won 1 CL and 1 league after he arrived. The point being the teams were already great before his arrival. He does have a strong International record.
@MrMabloom To say he didn't contribute to their success after his arrival is very ignorant. Especially seeing as zidane has been successful everywhere he has been. You can't blame him for joining a big club. That's like saying that messi isn't that great because barce were already the best team in Europe before he became a starter. It makes no sense at all. Totti is not an all time great. Like I said I could name 10-20 players who are better than him who played in the same time period.
@Pomaori I never said Zidane didn't contribute to his clubs. I implied his impact was overstated. I don't begrudge a player who wants to join a big club either. My point was Zidane followed success as much as success followed Zidane. Whether you believe Totti is an all-time great or not depends on how you define all-time. But he did carry Roma to their 1st scudetto in 18 years and lead Italy to their first WC in 24 years, and will end up as the 2nd or 3rd best goal scorer in Serie A history.
@MrMabloom Zidane was an integral part of any team he played in. That roma team that won the scudetto had some great players too, not just totti on his own. Batistuta,emerson,cafu,walter samuel I mean these guys are worlds class legends in any era. So it is hypocritical of you to say that zidane leaped from successful team to team yet when it is totti you say he "carried" them to trophies. I would define being an all time great as being one of the best of your generation. Totti certainly isn't
@Pomaori Before Totti Roma was Sh.!.t. then they were champs. Batigoal came because of him. But you go too far. Samuel is a world class legend in any era, while Totti is a domestic star? The team was good but without a doubt the best player on that team was Totti. He was the Serie A player of the year in 2000 ahead of Zidane who narrowly beat him for the award in 2001. To consider him anything less than one of the greatest players of his generation is a gross misjudgment or bias on your part.
@MrMabloom No bias on my part I am objective and indifferent about totti. Perhaps the bias may be on your part ? I am guessing you are a Roma fan ? I never said totti was not a world class player because he clearly was. All I am arguing is that he is severely overrated by people such as yourself who think he is one of the greatest players of his generation when he clearly isn't. He is not even worthy of comparison to zidane or henry or ronaldiniho. Those guys are the greats of the recent era.
@Pomaori If you have nothing against him, I believe you rarely watched him play when he was great. If you are basing your opinions on what he has done after 06-07, I can see why you feel the way you do. I am not a Roma supporter either. But I watched him at his peak and I concur with Pele, Maradona, and Beckenbauer who called him the best player in the world. Based on the players you list I can see the media has swayed your view substantially, it is almost exclusively LaLiga and PL players.
@Pomaori If you are naming 10-20 players you are making a mistake. I can entertain arguments that Zidane, Henry, Maldini, Ronaldinho, and maybe a couple others have been better overall players. I consider Messi/C. Ronaldo to be in the next cycle of stars. But in Totti's pomp he was as good as anyone and since the 98 season he has scored almost 200 serie A goals and has over 100 assists. No other playmaking midfielder comes close to that kind of production. +WC champion.
@MrMabloom All those guys you named, without doubt are better than totti. But there are plenty more, you barely even scratched the surface. Raul,Bergkamp,Xavi,Figo, Ronaldo,Shearer,Baggio,Roberto Carlos,Steven Gerrard,Ryan Giggs,Frank Lampard,Rivaldo and that's just off the top of my head without giving it much thought. All those guys are better than totti IMO and if I gave it some thought I'm sure I could name 10-20 more
@Pomaori When did you start watching him? He's on the decline now, but he carried Italy to the EU00 final, best player there imo. He lead the tournament in assists(4) at WC06, and coolly buried his PK when the Azzurri were down to 10. He has had ups and downs as all players do, but average is not a good way to describe his performances.
