AS Roma president James Pallotta says he was always confident of success this season.

Roma sit top of the table with a 100 per cent record.

"I'm not surprised," said Pallotta.

"I told you a couple of months ago that we would be the biggest surprise, that this team was much better than people think and I still feel the same way."
