By Adam Scime
Roma captain Francesco Totti has lamented the dropped points against Cesena in their Serie A opener that ended in a 0-0 draw. The Giallorossi have title ambitions after finishing second to the Nerazzurri last season.
"We wanted to win, but didn't succeed. We knew it wouldn't be easy against Cesena as newly promoted teams get carried away with enthusiasm. There are no easy opponents, Cesena confirmed this at the Stadio Olimpico," he explained to francescototti.com.
"I regret this because I wanted to dedicate the victory to my friend Daniele, who is no longer with us, my thoughts right now are all for him."
Cesena had a top performance from former Giallorossi goalkeeper Francesco Antonioli, who kept a shut out with some superb saves.
"We weren't lucky, we created a several chances but the ball just didn't want to go into the goal. It's clear, however, that we must improve. It's just the first match, we have the opportunity to foget this slip up," concluded the 2006 World Cup winner.
