Totti Thrilled With 200th Goal

Francesco Totti will remember this night for a long time. He started on the bench, and ended up triumphant: in the 4-0 win over Torino, he scored twice, helping his team to qualify to the Coppa Italia quarter finals, and established a new record, scoring his 200th goal with Roma.

"It wasn't easy to qualify," the Roma captain said after the match. "Scoring twice against Torino was not going to be easy, they had put us in difficulty in the first leg [which Torino won 3-1]. The 200th goal with Roma was one of my dreams and I realised it in my own stadium."

He also talked about Alexandre Pato, the most talked about player in these last few days, sending a word of warning to Milan's new wonder kid.

"It doesn't take a lot to go from zero to hero, and even less to go the other way," said Totti. "He strongly wants to show what he's worth, and he's in a strong team with a great coach, he'll have time to show he's a great player."
