Totti must put Roma first - Ravanelli

Fabrizio Ravanelli has called on Francesco Totti to put Roma first as he winds down his remarkable career.

Totti turned 40 last month, having signed a one-year contract extension at the end of last season.

Ravanelli told Omnisport: "Totti has to play until he wants, he's a unique player, capable of anything.

"Everybody celebrated him but he has to be intelligent, a quality a few people share.

"Intelligence means not to put his club and his manager into trouble.

"He has given the club much and the club has given much to him. Now Totti doesn't have to put the manager, the chairman and the club into trouble. He has to have a frank relationship with them and understand that Roma comes first, before Totti.

"Totti is bound to go, Roma will stay. Therefore he has to be smart enough that his personal interests come after Roma's."
