Borini happy at enterprising Roma

Fabio Borini has complete faith in Roma after starring in the 4-0 drubbing of Inter at home on Sunday.

Roma have been under some pressure recently after taking a single point from their previous two matches, but the former Swansea City player notched a brace to help lift his side to victory.

Speaking to Roma Channel after the match, Borini spoke of the immense effort the players are putting in at the moment.

“It’s a lot of work, playing three games in a week. It is not easy to manage,” he said.

In regards to Roma’s win over Inter, Borini’s brace surprised even himself: “You never expect it, no matter how hard you work for it.”

However, he does not want his team to get carried away.

“We conceded little to Inter: we were ordered and cynical going forward.”

“After Fiorentina I said the same thing, I have confidence in everyone.”

“I do not read the papers nor watch TV because I do not want to be influenced by external factors. Being praised by (Roma sporting director Walter) Sabatini makes me glad.”

“Today we were almost perfect, but we must not let ourselves get infected by the enthusiasm,” he warned.

Roma’s next match is on Tuesday against Catania, a clash that was rained out earlier in the season.

Meanwhile, Italy international Daniele De Rossi has signed a new contract that will keep him at Roma until 2015.

The midfielder’s previous deal was due to expire at the end of the 2011-12 campaign, and clubs such as Manchester City and Real Madrid were believed to be closely monitoring his situation.

Nevertheless, De Rossi has now decided to stay at the Stadio Olimpico after signing a new five-year deal.

“De Rossi? The people in Rome have been very patient, but I can now tell them that he has signed a new five-year deal,” Roma director Franco Baldini told reporters.

“We are working on a big project here and Daniele wants to be part of our ambitious plans. We might need some time, but are aiming high.”

Roma will explain the details of the 28-year-old’s contract extension at a press conference on Monday.
