Diego Maradona was the first
ex-player to call Francesco Totti when the Roma legend retired
in 2017, Totti told Verissimo in a programme to be broadcast
Saturday.
"Diego is still with us. When I stopped playing he was the first
to call me to give me support and tell me to stay calm.
"The emotions he gave us are unrepeatable," said the former Roma
captain.
"I had a beautiful rapport with Diego. Off the pitch he was an
extraordinary person while on the field he was football, he was
inimitable.
"You can't even copy what he did on PlayStation.
"I want to remember him like that, it's as if he never died,
we'll remain on Earth because he was different from all the
others"."
