Mr.C,
TOTTI is TOTTI.
the T I watched sinced he surged on the "A" field is not the same animal you have watched...(he's been an absolute bust at the international level...world cup, Euro, etc.). He is, will always be, a demi-simpleton. When you are annointed at 16 with a Roma shirt blessing, you must understand the potentiality of how it's about to mutate the individual. As I said, T has been a total flop on the international level, but in Serie A, he is to the game what Mario Lemieux was to the NHL. Yes, he is a stubborn mule with knee injuries dating back to when he was 22; unfortunately, like all, the older you get, the more difficult it is to hide the problem.
Best of luck.
MA
