Francesco Totti concedes Roma “lack the tenacity and grit to be truly a big team like Juventus, as they are starving for success.”
The Giallorossi captain spoke to Sky Sport Italia after a 2-1 defeat to Atalanta, a game they had been leading, saw them slide seven points off the top of Serie A.
“Unfortunately Scudetto success doesn’t depend only on us, because Juve are top and we need to be more competitive in every sense,” said Totti.

“Unfortunately Scudetto success doesn’t depend only on us, because Juve are top and we need to be more competitive in every sense,” said Totti.
“We have to be more determined when we meet smaller teams. We lack the tenacity and grit to be truly a big team, the way Juventus do.
“When Juve meet Chievo or Bologna, even if they play badly, they win them all. I think that is the true strength of Juve, that they never give up.
“They step on to the field starving for success, absolutely convinced that they can win every match.”
