Totti's son can't stand it anymore

Cristian Totti's retirement at the age of 19 is proof that fame and talent alone are not enough if you lack the courage to live in the shadow of your legendary father.

Totti's son has been under great pressure since birth.

According to La Nuova , Cristian briefly shared: "Enough, I give up football". Under the guidance of coach Marco Amelia, former AC Milan goalkeeper, Cristian only played a total of 156 minutes in 6 matches for Olbia, before his contract was terminated in December 2024.

Coach Amelia believes Cristian has real potential: "I chose Cristian because he is a midfielder who can develop the ball, reads the game well, is creative and also likes to compete. He can absolutely develop in Serie C or Serie B. But the label 'Totti's son' greatly affects people's view of him."

As the son of one of the greatest icons in Italian football history, Cristian has lived in the spotlight since childhood, every step was scrutinized, compared and pressured. Cristian trained at Roma's training ground. Here, his father scored 307 goals in 786 matches and wore the captain's armband throughout his 25-year career.

Cristian has played for the youth teams of Frosinone and Rayo Vallecano (Spain), and played in Serie D for Avezzano and Olbia. However, what he faced was not only opponents on the field but also the huge shadow of his father, along with insults about his appearance and excessive attention from the media and social networks.

Although he is no longer pursuing a career in football, Cristian still maintains his love for the game. He continues to accompany football through the Totti Soccer School, an academy founded by Totti himself. Cristian is currently involved in youth talent scouting.
