Roma striker Gervinho enjoying Roman lifestyle

AS Roma striker Gervinho admits he loves the Roman lifestyle.

Gervinho joined last summer from Arsenal.

"I've been received so well in Rome," he told Sport Week. "Everyone's been so good to me on and off the pitch.

"I've been put on a pedestal, but I never asked for that. They've made me feel so important.

"I have so much respect for everyone at the club, especially the fans. It really excites me when the stadium swells up every time I get the ball.

"It feels like we won the Scudetto, the atmosphere in the city was that good. I wonder what it would be like when it actually happen?"
