AS Roma signing Ashley Cole admits he doesn't get along with the English media.

The Chelsea icon was speaking with Italian reporters yesterday.

Cole said: "I don't worry about what people say about me. My family say I'm a nice guy, so that's all that matters.

"Of course I have made mistakes, but my relationship with the Press in England is a difficult one, and is one of the reasons why I am here.

"I've been painted as a mercenary, a bad person."
