"Roma" club legend Francesco Totti believes he is one of the best forwards of all time, with only Lionel Messi being better among current players. The 36-year-old forward has been showing excellent performances this season and there were talks that he might be called back to the national team. Totti himself claims that there is no one better than him right now except for L. Messi. "Only one player does things I couldn't. That's L. Messi," the footballer said to "La Gazzetta dello Sport". "But there is no Italian player I would put above myself on such a list. And statistics prove it." F. Totti also talked about coaches. He praised Italy's national team strategist Marcelo Lippi and said he would like to work with J. Mourinho. "M. Lippi is the best coach I have worked with. He is incredibly charismatic. Fabio Capello and Luciano Spalleti are also great coaches. Who would I like to work with? Mourinho," the veteran said. The footballer also stated that recently added player to "Milan", Mario Balotelli, could become a phenomenal forward. "I think he can become a football phenomenon, but it all depends on his attitude and behavior. What you do off the field is also important," the footballer concluded. Throughout his career, F. Totti has played 574 matches and scored 246 goals.
