Lyon duo praises Totti
Published in FilGoal on 20 - 02 - 2007

Lyon keeper Gregory Coupet and midfielder Juninho heaped praise on Italian playmaker Francesco Totti ahead of their UEFA Champions League clash against Roma on Wednesday.
"Totti is a phenomenon and he is very humble," the French giants' keeper Coupet was quoted as saying by L'Equipe on Tuesday.
"I know I will have a lot of work to do. We all have a lot of respect for him and, as a goalkeeper, he is someone I fear a lot,"
Roma will host French Ligue 1 leaders Lyon on Wednesday in the first-leg of the competition's round of 16.
Lyon's free-kick specialist Juninho echoed Coupet's sentiment, saying that Totti has brought back number 10's high reputation.
"Totti is a great player, on of the last number 10s remaining in football. The way to play football today has pushed out real number 10s who make the show," Juninho was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
"I have a lot of admiration for him, I think he is the best number 10, but we have to be wary of all the Rome team."
