When I do retire, I will miss the trips with the team, the jokes with my teammates, the habits: having breakfast with them, playing with them, all the little things.
Francesco TottiRead
Winning one league title at Roma, to me, is worth winning 10 at Juventus or Real Madrid.
Interpretation
Success is not only about quantity but also about personal significance and emotional connections.
Francesco Totti expresses that his achievement of winning a league title with Roma holds more value to him than winning multiple titles with more historically successful clubs like Juventus or Real Madrid. This highlights the idea that personal allegiance and the emotional connection to a club can surpass the desire for accolades and trophies.

Football, to me, is a passion, more than a game. It is everything. But more than anything, it is love for Roma. I have always been Roma. There has never been anything else.
Before being a player, I was a diehard fan of Roma, so I know what the fans felt when we won.
I was born Roman, and I'll die Roman. I'll never leave this team or my city.
Glory lies in the attempt to reach one's goal and not in reaching it.
There are a lot of guys who are successful, they make a lot of big money, I mean millions overnight with a contract, and they don't understand the evaporation. It evaporates. You're always back to square one. I found that out, so integrity is how I do business. That's my main asset.
What is failure? We can’t possibly know what failure is. Most people think they do, but that’s because they’re judging how their lives should be and what they need it to be: a success. Who is to say what’s a success and what’s a failure? Do your best. Trust. Relax. Do your best. Enjoy yourself.
An exceptional company is the one that gets all the little details right.
Those who have succeeded at anything and don't mention luck are kidding themselves.
Many of the most successful men I have known have never grown up. They have retained bubbling-over boyishness. They have relished wit, they have indulged in humor. They have not allowed ‘dignity’ to depress them into moroseness. Youthfulness of spirit is the twin brother of optimism, and optimism is the stuff of which American business success is fashioned. Resist growing up!
