Genoa's Bovo still has Roma soft spot

Genoa defender Cesare Bovo admits he still has a soft spot for former club Roma.

Genoa face Roma this weekend and Bovo said: "The affection of the fans always made me happy as a Roman and a Roma supporter.

"To play for the Giallorossi was the best and that's why I was upset when I was sold.

"I had a good relationship with Luciano Spalletti as we arrived at Roma at the same time.

"I was happy with my time at the Stadio Olimpico as I played in every position at the back. Looking back two years later I can see that the experience helped me so much.

"At times I made the mistake of saying I wasn't happy with playing out of position and today I wouldn't do it again."
