&lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Luciano Spalletti&lt;/strong&gt; hailed his side - particularly Radja Nainggolan - but insisted the team must keep their feet on the ground as they continued their recent run with a 4-0 win over Sampdoria. The Giallorossi moved into the quarter-finals of the TIM Cup on Thursday night, with another impressive and balanced display. While the coach admitted he was pleased with a number of aspects of the side&amp;#39;s performance, he did not want them to get carried away.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Today&amp;#39;s win means Roma are still challenging on all three fronts...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  “We&amp;#39;ve been able to build on our recent results and we&amp;#39;re looking quite good at the moment. I don&amp;#39;t think there&amp;#39;s an awful lot to get excited about today, though: Sampdoria put us under lots of pressure in the first half and shifted the ball about better than us. Afterwards we caused problems for them but it wasn&amp;#39;t until the end of the first half that we were able to move the ball about quickly and string a few moves together. It took us too long.”&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you happy with Mario Rui&amp;#39;s showing?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  “He played well, although we didn&amp;#39;t get him involved as much as we could have. He might have had space. I took him off towards the end because he was a bit tired but he fared well.”&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is Radja Nainggolan one of the world&amp;#39;s best midfielders?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  “He&amp;#39;s on another level – a great player who can play anywhere you put him. He needs space though because that&amp;#39;s when he really comes into his element. If you pen him in, he finds it harder. When he&amp;#39;s able to play on instinct, he becomes a real handful.”&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can we use &amp;#39;Dzeko the Divine&amp;#39; as a headline today?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  “Edin&amp;#39;s a splendid player. I&amp;#39;ve said certain things to make the players understand that they must never be satisfied. He is divine because with the build he&amp;#39;s got, with his height and his physique, it&amp;#39;s not easy to be so graceful and well coordinated. He&amp;#39;s a wonderful athlete to watch.”&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Roma seem very fit at the moment...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  “When you&amp;#39;re picking up results you recover a day quicker. When enthusiasm is high everything seems to go your way, but Samp were better than us in the first half. They played at pace and stayed tight. If [Luis] Muriel&amp;#39;s effort had gone in instead of hitting the post and Nainggolan hadn&amp;#39;t scored then the first half would have been different. We might have won it in the second period anyway but they caused problems for us.”&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is this a key stage of the season for Roma?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  “We&amp;#39;re enjoying a decent spell. The players are in good physical and mental shape and we have a number of players on form. I&amp;#39;m not just talking about those who are starting games – the guys coming on are performing well too. There&amp;#39;s a positive atmosphere about the place but we have to keep working hard and professionally because there are lots of very good, well-drilled sides out there. If you don&amp;#39;t keep on your toes, you can very quickly fall flat on your face in this game. We have to stay grounded.”&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Roma have stopped conceding goals. What&amp;#39;s behind your new-found defensive solidity?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  “We&amp;#39;ve have some big players who have recovered from injury like [Antonio] Rudiger. Juan Jesus has come along well too – he was immense today. He caught up with Muriel and won the ball off him – he did really well. Emerson has had the time a youngster needs to settle in. [Leo] Paredes is back and he can ping the ball about at incredible speed. We&amp;#39;ve already spoken about Nainggolan. Then there&amp;#39;s [Federico] Fazio who commands the backline – he&amp;#39;s an important player. The whole team is clicking now.”&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You&amp;#39;ve scored 62 goals so far this season. Did you expect so many?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  “We have a bit of quality but the city gives us an advantage. If you do things professionally, Rome can lend you a big hand. You sense the atmosphere is different: they hurl their enthusiasm at you and that makes it easier to become great players and be a great team. Adding all that in to a side that&amp;#39;s playing well has enabled us to rack up those figures.”&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.asroma.com&#34;&gt;www.asroma.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Luciano Spalletti hailed his side - particularly Radja Nainggolan - but insisted the team must keep their feet on the ground as they continued their recent run with a 4-0 win over Sampdoria. The Giallorossi moved into the quarter-finals of the TIM Cup on Thursday night, with another impressive and balanced display. While the coach admitted he was pleased with a number of aspects of the side&#39;s performance, he did not want them to get carried away.

Today&#39;s win means Roma are still challenging on all three fronts... 
“We&#39;ve been able to build on our recent results and we&#39;re looking quite good at the moment. I don&#39;t think there&#39;s an awful lot to get excited about today, though: Sampdoria put us under lots of pressure in the first half and shifted the ball about better than us. Afterwards we caused problems for them but it wasn&#39;t until the end of the first half that we were able to move the ball about quickly and string a few moves together. It took us too long.”

Are you happy with Mario Rui&#39;s showing? 
“He played well, although we didn&#39;t get him involved as much as we could have. He might have had space. I took him off towards the end because he was a bit tired but he fared well.”

Is Radja Nainggolan one of the world&#39;s best midfielders? 
“He&#39;s on another level – a great player who can play anywhere you put him. He needs space though because that&#39;s when he really comes into his element. If you pen him in, he finds it harder. When he&#39;s able to play on instinct, he becomes a real handful.”

Can we use &#39;Dzeko the Divine&#39; as a headline today? 
“Edin&#39;s a splendid player. I&#39;ve said certain things to make the players understand that they must never be satisfied. He is divine because with the build he&#39;s got, with his height and his physique, it&#39;s not easy to be so graceful and well coordinated. He&#39;s a wonderful athlete to watch.”

Roma seem very fit at the moment... 
“When you&#39;re picking up results you recover a day quicker. When enthusiasm is high everything seems to go your way, but Samp were better than us in the first half. They played at pace and stayed tight. If [Luis] Muriel&#39;s effort had gone in instead of hitting the post and Nainggolan hadn&#39;t scored then the first half would have been different. We might have won it in the second period anyway but they caused problems for us.”

If you don&#39;t keep on your toes, you can very quickly fall flat on your face in this game. We have to stay grounded.”
