Roma talisman Francesco Totti has expressed his desire to play for Roma in a stadium of their own.
The Giallorossi currently share the Stadio Olimpico with their rivals Lazio and would like a new ground for commercial purposes also.
“I would one day like to play in a stadium that is owned by the club,” Totti revealed in a candid interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport in which he also revealed he could never have gone to university and that he loves nothing better than going to the cinema.
The 32-year-old Giallorosso captain is renowned for his simple nature and appears to revel in it to the delight of his fans.
“It would have been difficult for me to go to university,” Totti explained. “I have always said that if I had not made it as a footballer, I would have chosen a job for which I didn’t need a degree.
“Anyway, sport has always impassioned me, therefore I would be interested in a course in sports science.
“In general, I have always found humanities, history and literature come to me easier. I have a lot of difficulty with scientific studies like maths.
“The relationship I had with my teachers was always good,” Totti said. “There was always respect on my part.
“I like to cultivate other interests, but it is too soon to say what I will do well in. I now see myself more and more in the world of football, hopefully as a director figure.”
Totti then revealed what he likes to do in his spare time and spoke of his wife, the Italian showgirl, Ilary Blasi.
“I like the cinema a lot. Watching a film on a big screen is, in my opinion, one of the best ways to spend an evening.
“My wife’s profession has undoubtedly changed my relationship with the television. I watch it more and happily assist Ilary with her transmissions.”
