Roma's 300-goal talisman Francesco Totti, highlighting
the "esteem" between them.
Alessandro Del Piero has congratulated Roma veteran
Francesco Totti after the forward reached 300 goals for the club
in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Sassuolo.
Totti reached the milestone at the Stadio Olimpico - maintaining
his record of scoring in every season with a cool finish following
an error from Andrea Consigli.
The 38-year-old first scored for Roma in the 1994-95 season
and Del Piero - a long-time Italy team-mate - appeared on Roma
TV on Monday to congratulate the forward.
"Ciao Fra," the Juventus great said in the broadcast.
"It is a special time for you and I am happy to connect with you
via the phone, since you are far away.
"I remember the many times we had together. We had the
honour of playing for different teams; we became the captains
and represented the great rivalry, which exists between these
two teams.
"This allowed us an esteem for each other, and so much
respect.
"The scream that you made after scoring the penalty against
Australia [in the 2006 World Cup last 16] is still in my mind - we
won together the greatest thing in the world, that is the World
Cup."
