How good was Francesco Totti actually? #GOAT
New episode of a documentary series where I plan to present all the greatest players of all time and then give them a score so a ranking of the best players can be created. In this episode we take on Francesco Totti who played for Roma for most of his career, not only one of the greatest forwards of all time but one of the greatest players of all time. See how Francesco Totti ranks and just how good he actually was.

The only Player Who denied Real Madrid. And they did almost everything to get him.
Maldinialso
Pirlo also denied them
@@egor6946 Milan did, not him
But he considered the offer
@@kolbalishop7396 but he was in a winning club, huge difference.
I think that Totti would've deserved a 10/10 on playmaking.
I really can't recall anyone better than him in this fundamental...
"Totti is the best 10 of the modern era" (Diego Armando Maradona quote)
Bergkamp
@@hotepsalam wow nice pick.
He's another one among my favourite players.
Yep, same level(in playmaking), you're right
concordo pienamente!
the passes he made were insane. No look in depth. Watching his best passes is maybe better then his goals.
@@acalciodicanepodcast5846 Zidane perhaps. Honorable mention for Xavi and Iniesta, but they're not number 10s.
I was there for his first goal against foggia, i was there the last minute of his career. I was there for all the years he played and i still cry. I hoped to die before
Wow nice story
بسم الله عليك وش ذا الحكي
As a Juve fan, I applaud the magnificence of Totti. What a player.
13:06 er purpone 😂😂
Better than Del Piero
As a Roma fan, I wish to point out that Italy won the world cup when Lippi finally made Totti and Del Piero play together.
Anch'io tifo juve e penso la stessa cosa perchè certi giocatori vanno applauditi indipendentemente dalla squadra
Amazing player, great character. He loved AS Roma more than the money or trophies. That"s why he refused to transfer to Real Madrid. Respect Francesco !
Lies again? F**k Them
Totti was the best playmaker in the history of football, far better than Zidane or Xavi just to mention two champions. The bias here comes from the fact that he ended his career as a striker, but in the first place he was a playmaker, and his number in terms of assists and key passages easily outnumber the ones coming from any other player. He also was one of the best scorers of all time, as he scored an incredible amount of goals playing half of his career as an offensive midfielder. What Totti lacked was just the dribbling, an average 6,5 out of 10, especially in the final part of his career. Totti was preferred by Florentino Perez to Zidane, and they got the French player only after Totti refused many times, and he was not even at the best moment of his career. Totti was considered by Pelè and Maradona as the best player of his time and one of the best of all time. The comparison with Del Piero it's not real, cause Totti outmatch him in any stats and he was preferred by all the CTs of the Italian national team. Lippi, a historical coach of Juventus, preferred Totti to Del Pierodespite the fact Totti was injured for months and recovered only a few weeks before the World Cup. We are talking about a legend, far better than players like Zico, Del Piero, Eusebio, and in my opinion even better than Zidane and Platini
Me too
So true
the best no dubt
my guy!
Ironically, Roma's biggest successes on the international scene in last 30 years came shortly before he made his debut (UEFA Cup finals 1991) and shortly after his retirement (UCL semi-finals 2018). However, his flair, his skills, assists and goals, passion and celebrations, his loyalty, his leadership and career longevity will be remembered forever. An immortal Prince of Rome.
Romas success in intrentional scene doesnt have anything with him...That semi final..Team Roma had in that time was fucing sick...With Totti they would cruise trough it...Last time Totti played in a team like that he won Seria A and World Cup...Even in his last years he made a diffrence with goals, assits even with moral bust when he comes to the pitch..But yeah, sadly it was after he was forced to retier.......
@@Elmario021 Romas success in intrentional scene doesnt have anything with him...That semi final..Team Roma had in that time was fucing sick...With Totti they would cruise trough it...Last time Totti played in a team like that he won Seria A and World Cup...Even in his last years he made a diffrence with goals, assits even with moral bust when he comes to the pitch..But yeah, sadly it was after he was forced to retier.......
*"Romas success in intrentional scene doesnt have anything with him..."*
Of course it doesn't. He wasn't part of it.
*"That semi final..Team Roma had in that time was fucing sick..."*
That Roma team wasn't bad at all. Some new players have arrived, like Kolarov, 20 years old Ünder, 21 years old Schick and Alisson was promoted to the first squad. At the same time Totti, Salah, Paredes, Szczęsny, Rüdiger, Emerson and Vermaelen left the squad.
*"With Totti they would cruise trough it..."*
With all due respect, I think the key of the success was Totti's departure. He has had his chances over the past 25 years. He was awful in last 3-4 seasons, but his ego was so big that he couldn't realize that his time was long gone. That's why I respect Maldini, Baresi, Bergomi, Mancini or Puyol the most. They simply knew when it was over.
*"Last time Totti played in a team like that he won Seria A and World Cup..."*
So he need some kind of "Galacticos" to win some trophies? That's why Maradona is the best. He won World Cup by himself and the next one he reach to the final despite of being injured the whole tournament. Also he manage to won Serie A twice and one UEFA cup with small club from Naples.
*"Even in his last years he made a diffrence with goals, assits even with moral bust when he comes to the pitch..."*
I agree about the moral. His presence was very important and useful, but more in the locker room than on the pitch. He scored mostly from the penalty spot and number of assist was significantly lower in his last 4 or 5 seasons.
*"But yeah, sadly it was after he was forced to retier......."*
As I said before, he simply didn't knew when it was over, so he was forced to retire.
However, He was one of the biggest talents ever and I enjoyed watching him.
Totti played with a bad or mediocre Roma team for more than half of his career... and he still made it twice to Champions League quarter finals eliminating the likes of Real Madrid and Lione.
The best vision i have ever seen in a footballer. Dude could hit a no look 70 yarder and would drop right at a runners feet. Magical talent. Imo much higher than zidane .
Better than Zidane only in your dreams😂
Different players but both very classy
@@malefeetmalefeet105
style rating zidane gets 15 from 10 points :D, otherwise yes slightly overrated, one can compare stats or trophies won and many players actually surpass him, but football is not all about stats and trophies so i understand that fully, still overrated though
@@MerseYattle i usualy listen to professionals of football and beside the stats comparison and magical skill Zidan surpass him accorting to all of them....minus you...but are not a professional anfortunatly😂
@@malefeetmalefeet105
fanboi alert riiing riiing
and blocked.
He should get an extra 3 points for staying with one team.
so is it good to stay with one team?
Cus messi's anti-fans state otherwise.
@@akhsdenlew1861 difference is, messi plays for a winning and consistent team, unlike totti
@@MP-kt7oh And he is a very important factor ( actually the MOST important factor)that makes this team winning and consistent.
Gerrard was also playing for a consistent and winning team, as well as muller and lahm.
Exactly.
@@akhsdenlew1861 don’t want to be that guy but staying loyal at Roma vs staying loyal at Barca is a big difference
His departure drove me in tears despite not even being a Roma fan 😭
Easily would have gotten 10/10 for playmaking by players, ex-players, coaches and pundits alike. If you'd saw him the entire game you would realize how intelligent he was at creating spaces for his team mates, only for them to let him down most of the time.
My favorite memory of him is his last match at the San Paolo. There was a camera on him in the corridor to the field(the old one that is not used anymore) and there is a mural of the skyline of Napoli. Totti touched it and had a look in his eye like that just said, I love this place and I will miss playing here. There is no love between Napoli and Roma supporters due to the death of Ciro Esposito but Totti will always have respect from Napoli. Una Legenda, una bandiera, unico, there will only ever be one Francesco Totti.
Yep.
Totti for sure will have my respect and admiration.
Him and Baggio the best italian players of all time
He is actually a genius in the art
People like him, Del Piero, Maldini got me to love Italian football
Congratulations on hitting 10k man. A Lothar Matthaus video would be pretty cool. Maradona(RIP) said he was the toughest opponent he ever faced.
Matthaus was the only player who can max out every stat in Dream League Soccer, because he can play anywhere in midfield, also do jobs defending and scoring
One of the greatest players I have ever seen and as a Juventus fan he was the player that scares me the most. I have nothing but respect for Feancesco.
Nikola Tesla in Science!
Francesco Totti in football!
Heavily underrated and Absolute geniuses!
Tesla is not underrated for me he was under appriciated cuz people stole his ideas
Tesla is like unparalleled in his field Toti was Toti was like the 2nd Tier..Dont overrate him..
@@Shinoj4852 Totti was one of the unparalleled of his craft too. Don't underrate Totti, he would have a spot in any of the top teams had he chose to leave Roma.
@@Shinoj4852 you clearly didn't watch him enough, best of his generation
@@gushpur Never won Ballon D Or..Was the 5th in Nominations in his best year.. Never had a great "his" moment in Champions league..Had his moment in Euro 2000, I will give him that.. Never had outstanding moment in World Cups and other Euros..I can give list of atleast 10 players from his generation who were better than him...Zidane,Ronaldo,Rivaldo,Shevchenko,Owen,Beckham,Raul,Nesta,Cannavaro,Ronaldinho,Nedved,Figo..
He was just a colloquial Roman legend..Nothing more..
The best and most complete attacking player I have seen in my lifetime. Yes, he can do things on a football pitch that Messi and Ronaldo cannot. His vision, passing, playmaking, striking with both feet, an absolute dream of a footballer. If God made the perfect footballer, it would look like Totti. Maradonna himself called Totti the best modern footballer. I think Diego knows.
He doesn't get the hype for todays generation because he isn't French or played for Barca/Real or in the Premier League. But during his peak, no one could touch Totti when it came to technical excellence and playmaking abilities. He was also very skillful flair wise and scored many goals. A 10/10 player for sure. For the young kids who judge past players on their FIFA Icon Ratings, he would be a 90 base, 92 mid and 94 prime 95 moments. 5 star 5 star too. Absolute legend of Football.
My father named me after Brazilian defender Aldair, who handed Totti the captain’s armband. What a player Totti was, much love in my heart for him.
Aldaiiiir Aldaiiiir Aldaiiiir Aldaiiir Aldaiiiiiir. Much respect for your name and your father that gave it to you
4:19 it's Rudi Voller, not Carlos Bianchi.
Used to love watching seri A because of this amazing players....totti, maldini, vieri, del piero etc....good old days.
Totti, Del Piero, Baggio, Mancini . People say Italian football is defensive they haven’t half produced some of the most technically gifted 10s going. Totti was a genius
Zola
Francesco Totti was one of the most good player's of the world 🏆⚽
Totti has always been the best attacking midfielder in my eyes. He is very underrated
he s largely considered one of the greatest ever, don t think is underrated, maybe he could have won more but is legend also for his loyalty
As always Italian players are underrated and under appreciated. If Totti was of a diff nationality he would be considered a 🐐. He was that amazing. I miss watching him play
Totti as a striker was excellent. Totti as a #10 (first half of his career, before turning 30) was otherworldly, he could create chances with extreme confidence and entertain crowds like a gladiator in the arena. I actually enjoyed that part of his career more, he took more responsibilities and appeared unfazed by them. Euro 2000 was his peak for the national team.
It was not really the club that made him captain of the team, it was the captain himself, Aldair.
which was really impressive at that time since he was so young and aldair was and is a club legend
actually Aldair never wanted to be captain in the 1st place, he was basically forced to be captain after Balbo left so he gave it away as quickly as he could (if i remember correctly he was only captain for 1-2months)
Totti is mostly famous for being THE one club legend but really he was also such a good player.
every time I want to cry,I just watch Totti's retirement😢
Love your videos BTW
can you make a video on Tony Adams aka Mr arsenal.Also another one club legend who is now immortalized outside the Emirates stadium in bronze.🙏🙏🙏
The king of Rome... one of The best playmakers in history💛❤️
Truthfully, I remember when I was discovering football as a sport seeing a picture of him in a football equipment magazine and he had this passionate look on his face. Like if his heart could burst out of his chest because he loved what he was doing. I liked him from the off, and the more I learned about him, the more I respected him. 10/10 player all around for me.
I’m English and a West Ham fan for me Totti is a one of a kind there will never been another, I found him in the 02 World Cup and my fav player ever since and I’m 28 so missed lots
Great video. Well done.
Totti is a legend. Credit to him for showing such loyalty to his team. I disagree with the going to another team. Forget the rankings. Football, at it's best is art.
Would love a Raul Gonzalez Blanco video next bro, love the vids btw you're the best out there
This guy played football like he was playing a violin, he was pure silk, magic. And his love for Roma made every(most) football fan love him.
You never dissapoint!! Another great video!!
Great channel!
You got me with that Koeman video. ;)
Very good video, thanks for that. I'd say his playmaking ability, leadership, longevity, dribbling are right up there with the very best.
congratulations on 10k subscribers. the content had been unreal. keep it up.
Amazing content - all the videos I’ve seen are really enjoyable, would love to see a video on Cassano - Totti and Cassano were incredibly impressive in 01-04’ serie a campaigns
Thank you mate.
Few weeks ago i asked you to do one of "how good..." on Totti.
so, now i'll enjoy it ;-)
To keep it in the 10 subject, Please do Rui Costa, our maestro back at SLB, and people tend to ignore how good he was, such under rated player and yet such love for Benfica, once when i was a kid he score a goal agaisnt us while playing for Fiorentina and he didnt even celebrated, he actually cried, pls do all of us a favor
Rui Costa was immense. I miss those days of old school #10s in Serie A like Zidane, Totti and Rui Costa. We were truly blessed then.
And in loyalty, modesty, leading by example, every decent human being gives Totti the value of the very highest number ever mentioned in our world thus far.
He remained with his Roma, giving joy to his fans and denying himself the chances for a better, more glorious career. And I'm sure, this is the example of a great human being.
Totti stands as one of the best among thousands of footballers in generations, and as an extraordinary man among billions of us.
From a Die-heart AC MILAN fan,
Imenso, Francesco Totti!
Totti was an artist one of the best finishers I have seen untill this days.
I always say, if totti was in RM, Barca, Man U during their legendary runs, people would have him in GOAT conversation
The most complete player of all time. Vision,one touch passing,backheel,short pass,long pass, shooting with both feet, freekick,ball control, awareness. He was a hibrid player.
i love your videos ma, they're informative and fun to watch at the same time. Keep the work up!
The blood of the Roman emperors flows in his veins ! After Totti,many other players pick favorites club before money and Totti show all world how one big love dont have a price...legend of Rome
The best Italian player of all time..n 10 forever ❤💛
Great video! Only when you mention “Carlos Bianchi” you show the photo of Rudy Voeller, instead!
Loyalty to the club 10/10
Hes amazing, his story even makes me emotional
Not that thats hard anyways but still
About Totti and adaptibility... Yes, he never played for another club. But he proved his adaptibility in another way. By being able to play in many different systems under different managers. On several positions. Left winger, second striker, false nine, attacking midfielder...
Totti lack the trophy cabinet because of the high competition at the time there were too many players and clubs performing at their peak and establishing as what we call their golden generation. Had he went to real madrid he could of won more trophies
Ballon dor was difficult when you have del Piero, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Figo, Zidane, Henry, schevchenko, etc (too many to list)
They were rewarding fifa player of the year awards ie (they still do) Ronaldinho won fifa best player of the year award while schevchenko won the ballon dor
It's not the ronaldo v messi only era
So medals were distributed differently
And for the world cup it's a big deal when you're playing less In a national team for this event once every 4 years it's a bigger difference from champions league as "we'll try next year"
It's safe to say totti played in the toughest italian league era let alone golden era
he is the real example of the fidelity, a lot of rappers put his name in their songs as the best example of fidelity
One of the greats of the game. Loyal son of Rome. The number of big clubs after him and he turned them down. I remember even in Football Manager, couldn't prise him away from ROMA no matter what. Was glad he was part of Italy winning the World Cup in 2006.
Another class, another whole prime level. One of the most important and exquisite real “italiano” boy. He gave it all in the field in every single game. Simply for the love for the Roma, the love for the football and never for fame or money. A true legendary player. If he got a bit more lucky he would be perhaps twice world champion. Despite of many problems and comparisons…. the fact he stayed all his career in Roma and played at such high skilled level, alone make him one of a kind. Me and my son always loved to see him in the pitch, you knew he was capable of doing great things and stuff in the field. Grazie Il Capitano !! Never forgotten!
staying in one club is exactly what makes Totti a 10/10 icon
Make a video on Garrincha please. I loved the effort made on every Video! I feel garrincha should get some recognition with Pele.
Idk no why people don’t consider one of the best of all time? 🤷
Regardless of the fact that he never left Roma, back in the day when I followed football more closely with my friends, everyone knew who Totti was and respected him immensely. Hell, I was never a fan of Italy and even hated them a bit (especially after knocking out my Germans from 2006 World Cup), but if you asked me back in the early 2000s who I want as a 10 and a captain on my team, the answer would probably be Totti more often than not. Not only because he was good, but because I loved his dedication and loyalty to Roma. You can't buy that kind of thing and you probably won't see it again in modern football.
Forever a legend of Roma great video brother yessir 🙌
Here in Rome we belive he got an extra eye on the back on his head. He already knows were to send the ball far before he had it.. and he 's passing was so brilliant and precise that he has absolutly no rival in the whole world on this. No one was like him on top of he's form. GRAZIE CAPITANO!
In early 2000, M. Owen is fav..even Aguero reveals Owen 'looked up to' as a kid..can u make vid about Owen..
Reparei logo que eras tuga, grande vídeo! Continua com o bom conteúdo!
Can you do one on Ji Sung Park? Korea’s legend
Underrated legend
One of the most underrated players in history
Legend 🙌
Icon factor 8/10??? The guy is known as the king of Rome :) I think he deserves a solid 10.
Leave him alone, he doesn't understand anything about football... just look at how he told Totti's story (He only did well in his youth, then he skipped practically his entire career and passed at the end without literally saying ANYTHING, truly shameful.)
The youngest captain in the history of Serie A. Thank you forever Capitano!!
Totti is the only God of Rome..And thoroughly respected worldwide
I’m a Roma fan and my favourite player to play for Roma is by far totti what a player.
He was one of my favourite. I can still remember euro 2000 moments of totti. He was like todays messi.
Respect to Totti's mom, loyalty at it's finest.
Love your videos
Love from Bangladesh 😍
Totti was and still is the ultimate traditional number 10 .. a playmaker second to none .. and on top of that when he got played as a striker he still scored an absurd amount of goals
This is great work 👏 what a player
lol..when i subscribed yesteday around early 4k..today 10k..tomorrow hope 100k..gud luck
I would give him higher scores in:
-Finishing cause the cucchiaio
-Adaptability cause he played well in different roles during his career
-Icon factor cause he is Francesco Totti!
And would give him a bonus point for his loyalty and not going to Madrid on the eraly 00's
By the way, loved the video man!
Waiting a Christian Vieri video
Also playmaking would've deserved a 10/10.
Totti was able to create plays outta nowhere, with one touch he was able to put his teammates in front of a goal, was able to start the play from behind and there are some crazy combo with Cassano that are glorious!
@@acalciodicanepodcast5846 he had a really good one touch pass that lead to a lot of Cassano and Bati goals, but I believe a 10/10 playmaker would be someone more like Iniesta or Pirlo
@@henriquehansen314 i respect your opinion.
Because i assume that your evaluation is purely based on the skill-set of a pure playmaker(Iniesta and Pirlo) and i accept that.
Both Pirlo and Iniesta are 10/10 in playmaking, for sure, and concequently, i understand the why: .
Because Totti was overlooked in that, with Xavi, Iniesta, Pirlo, Scholes etc. worldwide recognize as the best, it is easly to assume that Totti in some way was a little less of those legends. and had more in terms of assist-goals, balistic and goals.
And also because Totti wasn't to the general eyes a "classic regista", because of the misconception that "the regista" is a role when in reality it is a task.
To me the greater proof that he was on top of the game, also, in playmaking it is the world cup of 2006 after that he suffered a very bad injury that stopped one of his best season(individually) in terms of assist and goal-scoring.
in the eyes of Lippi(italy C.T.) he would've been the game changer for italy, the one that could've assured goals, assists(to Toni) and all-around the most impactfull player in that World-cup.
But instead with a metal plaque on his leg he was able to transform himself(Del Piero was his sub...) 4 assist and one decisive goal.
Starting from far behind and see those passes lines(obscure to almost all players) one of my favourite plays was that heel that sent Zambrotta to score against Ukraine.
Sorry for the essay xD but Totti gets me fired up.
certainly would give him some higher, but also some lower like mentality and speed, but this then should be done according to all other players so i think its alright here comes out all the same in overall ranking, just a bit bloated overall haha
TOTTI 10 ❤ My all time favourite player, reason why I love AS ROMA ❤
The biggest difference between him and gerrard or messi or xavi ecc is that he decided to stay in his former knowing he wasn’t going to win ANYTHING.
In 2004 as roma was in 16th position (near to serie B) and Real madrid asked him to play w them, but he said NO.
For me it’s super easy to decide to stay in barcellona or liverpool when you know that every year you will win a trophy or compete for the ballon d’or or that you have a lot of super skilled teammates.
The history between totti and as roma is exactly like if CR7 decided to stay at sporting lisbona for life. Something crazy.
He is THE LEGEND.
Sometimes the biggest club for you is the one you already play for .
Playmaker is no other than 10/10. One of a kind. Fast, deep, soft touches, long passes, heel back passes, you choose. He got it all of it.
He had that peripheral vision and the smooth technique to make the most of it. King of assistance. 10/10!!! Easily!
Er purpone è troppo bello 😂😂. Grear video, legendary player
This channel has become the number one reference for football
I'm a Lazio fan and I kinda hate him, but still I can't deny he is one of the greatest footballers of all time.
Who could be more iconic than Francesco Totti? Rome is one of the greatest city in the world, Rome has one of the greatest history in the world and Rome had Julius Caezar and lately Rome had/has Francesco Totti who stayed loyal servant of Rome.
Il Capitano is the modern Caezar. Modern day Romans don't know any more iconic footballer than Totti.
You need way more views like a lot 👍👍👍
my favorite player since i was a kid. Nobody as loyal to his team as Totti
Am just 25 and he was one of my favorite player of all time i love this guy
For me He was the Best and never never forget Him. He’s always in my heart..❤️
the best playmaker of the football history, what a legend !! he's one of the champions of the world that he has not win the champions league in europe as the brazilian Ronaldo and the legend of gaolkepers Buffon
To me, Totti was 101/100 ! I was lucky and happy to have seen him playing! Happy new year!
can you make a vid on ferrnando torres btw love your vids
Such a great player. Tho his prime career is not that long, still managed to earn really impressive amount of cups and became one of the most important part of those huge victories. Only he missed was the EPL cup and Ballon D'or but 3rd place of Ballon D'or the same time when Ronaldo and Messi is on their prime is considered incredible.
There's one called "el niño "
Great video! Thank you. However I'd say playmaker 10/10 eyes closed, and Icon factor I don't know quite well what does it mean of course, but if he has 5/10 in trophies it is because he stayed loyal to his club as you said in the video, then as an Icon he should have 10/10, let's give him that at least. The way I see it, he's at least as good as Ronaldinho. Actually he had more goals and assists than the brazilian player in his career. Cheers!
Um jogador excepcional, se tu colocasse domínio de bola como fundamento para pontuar, ele seria 10/10. Lembro de acordar cedo para ver jogos da Roma, só para ver Totti em um toque ou um domínio de bola se livrar de 2 ou 3 marcadores.
Ainda sobre Roma, faça um vídeo sobre o ídolo de meu clube, o Sport Club Internacional: Paulo Roberto Falcão. O homem do título invicto, o volante do rolo compressor. O homem que ajudou a gloriosa Roma a levantar um Scudetto em 82, tornando-se o oitavo rei de Roma. Falcão "il divino"
One of the most iconic players ever
Nice analysis I think you are very generous in the ratings though.
"Francesco Totti is the best footballer I have ever seen play football. And always will be." -- Diego Maradona
As a Lazio fan i respect and admire Totti because A.S. Roma was mostly mediocre in the 25 years he played with them and he still stuck around refusing better opportunities to become a symbol and now he's a legend for a reason
Can you make a video on Don Elias Figueroa? He was to Chile & South America as a defender what Pele was for Brazil & South America, as a striker
I was a big fan of Totti back then. Just for him I wanted Roma to win the serie A. Him, Baggio and Maldini...the Italian legends.
Just love for Francesco!
And a small wish!
A really forgotten Hero... Jimmy Greaves
adaptability in question because he played for only one team? keep in mind, he played for that one team over 25 years (as you yourself rightly stated). regardless of the badge on the shirt remaining forever unchanged, don't you think that 25 years with one team and a revolving door of coaches (as well as the players around him... besides de rossi, of course) kind of negates this idea that he isn't adaptable simply because he played with only one team? every manager brings a different philosophy and different demands as we all know, so that easily offsets the lack of evidence for how he would have performed if he had played for multiple clubs. this is all just meant to be honest and constructive criticism on my part, but it seems like a big oversight to not consider that metric for "adaptability" in place of how many clubs he played for. adaptability seems like a rather subjective thing anyway, as i could think of it as positional flexibility or ability to thrive in different football philosophies.
enjoyed the video. liverpool are my club through and through, but i carry a special love for roma too, especially totti and his magnificent career spanning pretty much my entire life. lots of nostalgia for both clubs.
