Francesco Totti the most talented player from Italy

Francesco Totti is, according to many, the most talented player to have come from Italy over the past ten years. Totti started to play football at the age of ten months when he used to dribble on the beach. Francesco Totti, born in Rome in 1976, is one of Italy's and the world's great football players, and one of footballs finest players worldwide. He enjoys immense popularity with young people around the world, and his genuine desire to help children led him to become a National Ambassador for the Italian Committee for UNICEF in March 2003. Francesco Totti is one of the world's most naturally gifted players, but has struggled to prove it consistently on the international stage. He showcased his vision, incisive passing and cool finishing as Italy made the final of Euro 2000 - his first major tournament - but has failed to fulfil his potential for the Azzurri.

Francesco Totti's position is that of a striker or an attacking midfielder, though he is best known for playing as the trequartista (or second striker), a compromise between the two positions where the player acts as a link between midfield and attack. He is also Roma's first choice to take free kicks and penalties, having scored a number of goals from dead-ball situations.
