Roma director Totti accepts tough Champions League draw

Roma director Francesco Totti accepts they've receive a tough Champions League draw.

The Giallorossi have been grouped with Chelsea, Atletico Madrid and Qarabag.

“We know that you have to face the strongest teams in Europe. It won't be easy for any of them to take on Roma either," Totti told Mediaset Premium.

“Diego Simeone and Antonio Conte are two top international Coaches, but we'll try to cause them as many problems as possible."

Totti is not part of the squad for the first time in 25 years, but remains close to Roma as a new director.

“I enter on tip-toes, as this is a new role, a new profession and I am trying to learn. At the same time, I know the locker room and how it works, the various habits and approaches. I am at the disposal of the Coach and all the players.

“If anyone needs to ask me something, I will give my contribution. I know the environment at Roma."
