Francesco Totti turns 47 and his son gives him a goal
Perhaps è it was the most welcome gift: a goal from his son Cristian who is trying to follow in his footsteps. On his 47th birthday, Francesco Totti was able to rejoice at the first goal of the season from his heir, who moved this year to Frosinone’s Primavera team after spending nine years at Roma.
"Best wishes papo, I love you to death, forever me and you", è was Cristian’s dedication on social media to the historic Giallorossi captain. Then Totti Jr. put his own 'signature' in the 6-0 win with which Frosinone’s Primavera team beat Crotone, qualifying for the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia, where they will find Lazio in a personal derby for Cristian.
The goal è came in the final after only 4' since his entrance on the field in place of Dixon: a beautiful volley that did not give opposing goalkeeper Lisi a chance. It was, among other things, the first win of the season for the Frusinate Primavera. For Totti Jr. it was a special feat, not only because it came on his dad's birthday. It represents a boost of confidence in a season of change and with so much pressure.
"I am a friend of Francesco Totti and when there's been this opportunity, we said yes,‖ said president Maurizio Stirpe at Retesport microphones. Media interest arises from Francesco's celebrity and it fits, but we have to leave the boy quiet. We are trying to put him in the condition to express himself at his best". The Totti è family is very close to Frosinone. Francesco and Cristian also attended the match Frosinone won against Sassuolo. Gabriele, grandson of the captain, plays in the Under 14 of the 'lions' della Ciociaria.
