Totti meets Guardiola on holiday in South Tyrol

Francesco Totti was the central figure at the presentation of French defender Vincent Candela's book on 18 September, delivering warm praise for his former teammate. Totti highlighted Candela's exceptional intelligence as a player, noting that he "flew" across the pitch rather than simply running, and that he "seemed like a dancer." Candela, who played alongside Totti during his time at Roma, is now seeing his memoir celebrated by one of the club's greatest figures. Totti's remarks underscored how Candela's footballing mind set him apart, even as the presentation maintained a light and entertaining tone throughout the event.

Rodrigo Mora, the 2007-born midfielder who arrived at Roma this summer from Porto, has outlined his ambitions at the club in an interview with Sky Sport Insider. Mora praised Paulo Dybala as a player of exceptional quality who needs no words to communicate on the pitch. "With Paulo, he's a player that doesn't need words: you look at him and you understand," Mora said. "Every time he touches the ball, you can expect something that few know how to do: that pass that others don't even see, that move that changes the match. Off the pitch he welcomed me brilliantly from day one—he's a very humble and available person, and I'm truly grateful for how he helped me settle in." Mora also recalled a conversation with former manager José Mourinho upon his arrival. "When I came, we spoke a bit," he explained. "He told me how much he loves this club, how much he likes Roma and how special the relationship with the city is. It wasn't a long conversation, but he's a great coach and a great person, and I'm truly grateful for the words he spent on me. He made me feel welcome." Mourinho had previously stated that Mora possessed all the qualities to win over Roma's supporters. On his long-term objectives, Mora was clear about his ambitions: "I want to win titles. It's the most important objective I have, the one that drives me every morning when I arrive to train. I want to win them with Roma, in this city, with these fans, and I want to do it as a protagonist, giving my contribution on the pitch."

Paulo Dybala has been immortalised as a Superman figure in a new mural by celebrated Roman street artist Drugi, who regularly creates works celebrating the club's colours across the city. The artwork depicts Dybala as the giallorossi's superhero, cradled in the hands of a young Roma supporter. The mural arrived as Dybala prepares for tomorrow's Serie A summit clash between Roma and Inter at the Olimpico, with kickoff at 18:00. Drugi shared the work on Instagram accompanied by the caption: "Every child has his superhero."
