Totti believes in new blood Wednesday 3 September, 2008
Despite Roma's disappointing opening day draw with Napoli, Francesco Totti has high hopes for the new-look Giallorossi.
Luciano Spalletti's side failed to see off a 10-man Napoli outfit at the Stadio Olimpico, but none of the other Scudetto favourites managed to record a win.
And Totti insists that Julio Baptista, Simone Loria, Jeremy Menez and John Arne Riise are the right reinforcements.
“I am sure that we will learn to appreciate the newcomers,” Er Pupone told the Corriere dello Sport.
“I haven't had time to get to know Menez well yet but I am sure that Riise and Baptista are great players with important international experience.
“They will be very useful during the course of the season and Loria will also be able to give us a hand.
“I'm hoping that there is more space for the young players this term because the experience can allow them to reach a higher level.”
