The Latest AS Roma News
Former Roma striker Gabriel Batistuta has discussed the fortunes of the Giallorossi and Fiorentina ahead of their meeting at the weekend.
Batistuta played with distinction for both clubs, becoming Fiorentina's all-time top scorer in Serie A before helping Roma to their third Scudetto in 2001. The 49-year-old confirmed he still has a place in his heart for both teams. "Even today it [football] provokes emotions, especially the finals," he said. "Fiorentina and Roma were in my destiny. The first time I came to Italy to play the opponent was Roma at the Viareggio Tournament. A few years later I arrived at Fiorentina and then I went to Roma. It makes me pleased that Fiorentina wins, but also Roma. I'm a fan of Fiorentina, but I don't want the bad of Roma for this. "I was good in giallorosso, I spent two beautiful years in Rome, the Romans know that I feel at home in Florence. I am in harmony with both teams." Batistuta also spoke of current Roma striker Edin Dzeko, who has broken into the club's top ten all-time scorers recently. "He is a great football player, I do not have to advise him anything." On Roma's ambitions for the season in Europe, Batistuta made this claim: "It can exit the Champions League as well as win it. It's a great team, but has not had continuity so far. If it passes the group, it can be a trouble to any team." The Argentinian legend is expected to be in attendance for Saturday's match.
