Francesco Totti is a Roman institution at this stage and it looks like his legacy will live on as his nine year old has just signed for the club.
Totti’s nine year old son, Cristian impressed on a number of trials in May with the Giallorossi and has now signed for their under nine team. Gazzetta dello Sport said that the youngster had his first training sessions with the young side, called the Pulcini, this week. They will play the small-sided game of seven-a-side with a smaller pitch and goals.
Francesco brought his son to the Roma training complex situated in Trigoria just to give him a feel for the environment. Whether the youngster possesses the ability to replicate some of his gifted father’s ability, it remains to be seen, but he will have the best dad in the world to call upon for advice. Here’s father and son in a picture taken back in 2007 when Cristian was two!
No pressure on young Cristian then!
