YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE. In my thoughts, since I was little, I’ve always dreamed of being like you. Like all of the children who start to kick a ball for the first time. YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE. When I made my debut in Serie A. Just a look from you was enough to make you feel close by: everything will be fine, your eyes told me. YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE. When I scored my first goal in Serie A. You gave me taps on the head, to say ‘now stop dreaming, this is your reality. You’re one of us.’ YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE. AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THERE. For me, for those who love football, and for this eternal city. Like you.

You can’t go. Don’t stop. Never stop. I look at my shirt in my hands, I breathe, look at my teammates who wear it and imagine it with the number 10 on the back. I think about how many times you’ve observed it, this marvelous ‘giallorossa’ shirt. How much you loved it, desired it, dreamed of it. We feel proud, us players, to accompany you in this last dance. We hold your hand with admiration and esteem. But we also feel a little guilty, because we know that no one can ever repeat what you did. No one can ever make this shirt immortal, but there is one thing we can do: always remember what Rome is for you and what it is all about. That is why you will be in the fibers of the ‘giallorossa’ shirt. You are and you will always be part of Rome. Of its history and its great beauty.

From the day after tomorrow - Rome will never be the same. From the day after tomorrow, dear Francesco, all of us as fans of Roma will be a little poorer. We'll miss the fun of seeing you smile after a goal, the wait for your touch which changed the game. Just know that, as always, you will be there on the field to give everything to the only shirt of your life. From the day after, dear Francesco, Rome will never be the same. You translated the dreams of every child in a wonderful fairy tale, of which I had the honour and privilege to be a part of. Not only Rome, but football from day after tomorrow, won't be the same again.

Perotti

We took this before the game, and unfortunately it will be the last one. I have no words to describe what it was for me to train and play with you for a year and a half. But to my son, I will not tell him what kind of player you were, because he will understand that quickly. I will talk about you as a person, as a companion, as a man. A player who did what he wanted with the ball between his feet, but the real sign he left was his humility. Thanks for every training, every annoying sprint we had to do, even if someone like you could have just stayed in the locker room without having to make any effort. Thank you for not being FRANCESCO TOTTI, but simply 'Checco'. I hope to see you soon, Captain.
