Francesco Totti has spoken about his new role as a consultant for Maxima Roma<\/strong>, making it clear that his decision to join the basketball project does not represent a break with his beloved AS Roma.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Rai, the former Roma captain explained that his involvement with Maxima is simply a new step in his career and an opportunity to embrace a different project.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn’t revenge. I simply chose a different project\u201d<\/h2>\n

Totti dismissed any suggestion that his move into basketball was motivated by a desire to get back at Roma.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThere is no revenge. I simply took another step and chose a different project.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Despite his new role with Maxima, Totti stressed that his connection with AS Roma remains as strong as ever.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cRoma will always be magical for me. They are the magical ones, we are Maxima. But I will never abandon Roma. That is my first skin.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI will celebrate the centenary with my fans\u201d<\/h2>\n

Totti was also asked about the upcoming centenary celebrations for AS Roma and made it clear that he intends to share the occasion with the club’s supporters.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI will have the time and the opportunity to celebrate with my fans. I have to celebrate with them, because what they have given me, nobody else has ever given me. I will do some things, that’s for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Totti’s dream for Maxima Roma<\/h2>\n

The former Italy international also revealed a particularly ambitious goal for his new basketball adventure: bringing together supporters from both sides of Rome.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI hope I can bring both Roma fans and Lazio fans to watch Maxima.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A dream that would see Maxima Roma become a meeting point for basketball fans across the capital, regardless of their football allegiance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
