Francesco Totti has raised a few eyebrows by insisting that his Roma side can win the Scudetto this season.
The Giallorossi are already five points behind leaders Juventus, but the captain is in optimistic mood following the 4-1 win over Parma last night.
"Perhaps people will think I’m dumb, but I am aiming for the title and we can achieve that if we keep playing like this," he said.
Totti was a key factor in Roma’s success on Wednesday, as he scored his first League goal for seven months to get his side’s season back on track.
"I’ve been waiting for an evening like that for some time," continued the Italian international. "They were three really important points, I’m happy for the fans and for my teammates.
"I go into every match looking to give my best, sometimes I succeed and sometimes I don’t. But I’m content because I wanted to start a new chapter after last season’s disappointments."
The capital captain has made a good start to the new campaign, aided by his good relationship with boss Luciano Spalletti.
"He is teaching us a lot," noted Totti. "He told me to play in a more advanced role against Parma, but he usually allows me to go where I want on the pitch."
Totti’s performance was also witnessed by national boss Marcello Lippi, who would have also seen Christian Panucci’s performance and goal.
"I would take Panucci to the World Cup, but Lippi has eyes and it’s up to him to decide," concluded the forward.
