| Christian Panucci and Olivier Dacourt have accused the Press of twisting their words, but suggest Antonio Cassano would suit Real Madrid.
“Dacourt’s quotes about wanting to leave the club were invented by journalists,” slammed Panucci. “It’s possible that after four years a player wants to try new challenges, but he certainly did not say he was running away from Roma.”
Dacourt’s interview caused shockwaves this week after he was quoted as saying: “The officials here want to extend my contract and reduce my wages. They have already done that with Christian Panucci and Vincenzo Montella, but that is out of the question for me. I don’t know what I will do. I’ve had no talks and therefore I don’t think I will stay.”
Dacourt himself was eager to clarify the situation. “My comments were misinterpreted by L’Equipe. It was a shame, as it’s easy to give another meaning to a phrase. Rome is a great city for a player and I am happy here. You can never tell in football, so I like to live day by day.”
On the same day, Cristian Chivu was asked if he would work with Juventus boss Fabio Capello again and responded positively.
“What player wouldn’t want to be Coached by Capello, a man who has won titles at every club?” added Panucci in defence of his teammate. “He wasn’t disrespecting Luciano Spalletti by those statements. I don’t understand why at Roma there’s always scandal. For example, Jaap Stam said he wanted to leave Milan at the end of the season, but nobody was up in arms about that.”
Much has been said of the unique difficulties in the capital, where problems are all too often blown out of proportion by the media and fans.
The supporters repeatedly insulted want-away striker Antonio Cassano during Thursday’s 1-1 UEFA Cup draw with Strasbourg, even after he scored a goal, as new reports suggest he is ever closer to a January move to Real Madrid.
“Antonio is a Roma player until June and if he is on form then it helps everyone,” insisted former Real star Panucci.
“We hope he can give his contribution to get this team as high up the table as possible. I think he could adapt well to Real Madrid and Spanish football. I wish him well if he joins the Merengues, as it’s a great club for any professional.”
The Giallorossi face another tough test this Sunday, as second-placed Fiorentina visit the Stadio Olimpico.
“It is a tough time, but this team will not give in,” assured the defender. “We’ll have to get over the 4-1 loss to Juventus quickly, as we must now face Fiorentina and need a victory. Luca Toni is on great form, but our defence can stop him.”
帕努奇与达科特指责媒体歪曲了他们的言论，而帕努奇建议卡萨诺去皇马。
“达科特想要离开罗马的言论完全是媒体捏造出来的，”帕努奇愤怒地说道，“一位球员在俱乐部呆了四年后想接受新的挑战，这完全有可能，但是他根本没有说过想从罗马逃离。”
达科特的本周“言论”曾引发震动，媒体引用他的“言论”如下：“俱乐部想和我签降薪续约合同，就像对待帕努奇与蒙特拉一样。但是对于这招我并不感冒。我不知道我会做出什么，我不会与他们会谈，同时我认为不我会再留在这里。”
达科特迫切想澄清自己的观点，“我的说法被队报曲解了。这实在让人羞愧，因为对于我的言论，他们本可以轻易地给出另外一种截然不同的解释。对于一个球员而言，罗马是一座伟大的城市，我在这里很快乐。足球有时令人费解，但是我喜欢在这里度过的每一天。”
就在同一天，当被问及是否有可能和前任教头卡佩罗在度合作时，齐沃做出了积极的回应。
“怎么可能会有球员不愿意效力在卡佩罗帐下呢，要知道他在每个俱乐部都赢得了冠军。”帕努奇为队友辩护道，“齐沃的那些言论并不意味着对斯帕莱蒂的不尊重，我不清楚为什么罗马总是有流言蜚语，比如斯塔姆说要在本赛季末离开米兰，却没有任何人反对。”
为首都球队效力的困难之处早就被说过无数遍，因为在这里，只要有一些小问题的出现立刻就会被媒体和支持者们无限放大。
球迷们一再侮辱想要离开的卡萨诺，甚至连他在联盟杯中进球时也不放过，最近有消息说他有可能会去皇马。
“安东尼奥直到一月份前还是罗马的一员，如果他在场上，他可以帮助任何人。”帕努奇坚定地说。
“我们希望他能为罗马在联赛中提升排名做出贡献，我认为他绝对适合皇马和西班牙足球的风格，如果他真的能加入皇马，我希望他一切顺利，对于任何一个职业球员来说，那里是梦幻般的地方。”
红黄军团本周末将面临严峻的考验，他们将在奥林匹克迎接来势汹汹的佛罗伦萨的挑战。
“现在是一个困难的时刻，但是我们从不屈服，”帕努奇重申，“我们必须尽快从对尤文失利的阴影中走出来，我们现在将要面对的是佛罗伦萨，而且我们需要一场胜利。托尼的状态让人惊讶，但是我们会阻止他的爆发。”
