AS Roma midfielder Daniele de Rossi has refused to walk back comments about life in Rome.

De Rossi has admitted he is happier playing for the Azzurri than Roma.

"There is nothing to clarify.

"This is not the moment to discuss it, but I made statements that I confirm. It would be a lack of respect towards my teammates the Coach if I became too distracted thinking about Roma or the future.

"The future is right now and the game against Brazil, while we hope also the semi-final and the Final too."
