Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli is delighted to see Matteo Brighi excelling in Roma's midfield this season.

The Viola face Roma today and Prandelli said: "Totti is one of the few who can decide a match. He calms everyone down and plays for the team, he is an extraordinary player.

"Brighi is a lovely lad. I trained him at Parma and at the time he didn't have the belief in his abilities. Hard work has paid off and I am happy for him."
