AS Roma president Rosella Sensi has called on the club's fringe players to be committed to the cause.
The likes of skipper Francesco Totti and midfielder David Pizarro have complained about their limited roles this term.
"I think the moment has come to focus only on work and results. Roma have a competitive squad and proved it many times during this campaign," declared Sensi.
"We have pushed ourselves to improve the side and follow ambitions requested by everyone, including fans, directors, the Coach and players.
"In today's Roma there are two players for every role, but the effect of this has probably not been fully understood or shown in a positive light.
"Competition must be motivating, a guarantee for the players themselves and not be seen as a pain. Who loves this jersey and accepted being part of one of Europe's most important clubs has to prepare and give professional responses when called on.
"I understand the sadness of those who don't see Roma in the places they deserve, but it is not right for anyone to engage in self-defeating behaviour."
