oh no,
i was afraid this may happen. And by July, 07 he will definitely say farewell as his second child will be born and that may in fact influence his decision. Either way, it's his choice and we should respect it. I truly hope he remains, it will be a shame if he hangs up the boots at such an early age
Totti considers Azzurri farewell Monday 8 January, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roma captain Francesco Totti has revealed that there is a chance that he won’t make an Azzurri return.
The No 10 has rejected all calls for a return to the Italy squad after the World Cup victory in Germany, insisting that he would not play for Italy until he had recovered his best form.
He later stated that would not happen until the metal plates in his ankle were removed next year, but these plans might have now changed.
“The supporters are asking when I will return to the Nazionale, but I first have to decide if I will return,” said Totti before the ceremony in Rome, when the world champions will be honoured by the President of the Italian Republic.
“There hasn’t been anything between me and Coach Roberto Donadoni. Things are clear and we will speak again at the end of the season. However, the Final in Berlin might have been my last match with Italy.”
The Roma star then commented on the Serie A championship, where he still believes that his side can fight for the title, despite the gap dividing the Giallorossi from leaders Inter.
“I am confident that we can win the Scudetto, seven points is not that much and I believe in our comeback.
“It’s important as the entire city hopes that we will make it. It would be useful to start a new cycle, but in order to do that we also need some important signings,” concluded Totti.
