Working together as a team for a common goal. Internally pushing myself to keep grinding and having everyone around you push each other makes me love the sport. The game is defined by such small margins that every goal or save is so special.

Totti -- Loved the loyalty to Roma and especially the flow
Carlos Puyol -- Played with so much passion
