I am not thinking about life after football, but I know it will be another life, another world.

I am fortunate to have only worn one shirt in my career. It is something that is fundamental to me. It is something I have always wanted: to be one of these few who wear only one shirt - a fan and a player of the same team.

The game has given me so much, and I tried to give so much back to the people who have showed me so much love day after day.

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.

We will work as a group, we need to be a real team, that is the only way to go far,

Football, to me, is a passion, more than a game. It is everything. But more than anything, it is love for Roma. I have always been Roma. There has never been anything else.
