Sampdoria striker Antonio Cassano says he's ended his feud with Roma captain Francesco Totti.

While with Roma, Cassano notoriously clashed with Totti, who he considered to be a friend before their bust-up.

He said: "We certainly don't talk much, but we have made up. I have played with legends like Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Raul, but nobody understood me like Totti.

"He was the player I had the most fun with and who got the best out of me in my career."

Cassano also had praise for Roma boss Ranieri, praising his decision to substitute Totti and Daniele De Rossi during the derby.

"Ranieri proved he had two impressive stones! I admire him a great deal, because during his time at Juve he was the only one who would support my arrival.

"He did everything to bring me to Turin and I always thank him for that gesture. I hope that at least he can get to the Italy squad."
