By who? I don't know -- there are things greater than me but the feeling is that they wanted us out.

I won't leave Roma. I am happy here and I have a contract until the end of 2006.

They called me a fool when I said this side could challenge for the title. Now they can think again. This is the best Roma side I've been in.

It wasn't a nasty tackle but usually tackles from behind can cause serious injuries.

Health comes first, and I don't want to risk health. I strongly want (to play in) the World Cup ... but this is a hope more than a promise. I'll go only if I'm fully recovered.

The way things are, I'm not even training. I can only manage a bit of physiotherapy then off we go with the next game. I'm a little worried that I won't make it to the World Cup.

We're going for the title too, there's no reason why we can't fight with Milan, Juve and Inter.

I'll be in the team for Wednesday's Italian Cup final. We've yet to decide whether it's on the bench or from the first minute.

It was a scandal. The truth is he (the referee) had his mind set against us - this was a desired elimination.
