Totti insists he accepts Roma bench role

Francesco Totti accepted his bench role for AS Roma's win over Sassuolo.

The veteran denies reports he was upset.

He wrote on Facebook, "In these final rounds of the season our position in the table will be decided. We must try to reach our objective, which is second place to enter directly into the Champions League and the football that counts in Europe.

"Each of us in his role will have to put opinions aside on the way the campaign has gone until this moment.

"Now is the time to stay united if we want to reach our target. The club, players and fans must stick together for the good of Roma!

"Let's leave trials by media and decisions about the future to June. Personally, I can say that of course playing makes me happy, but at the moment I am evaluating things beyond my presence on the field."
