Kuffour is 'new Samuel' -Totti

Francesco Totti claims that Sami Kuffour will fill the void left by Walter Samuel and warns teammate Antonio Cassano that he has much to learn.

?Kuffour is the new Samuel for Roma and a crucial player for this team,? said the captain. ?He is the kind of man who can make the difference.?

The former Bayern Munich defender is one of three new signings who have arrived on free transfers ? along with Shabani Nonda and Rodrigo Taddei ? but their position is in doubt due to FIFA?s embargo.
