Roma legend and 1982 World Cup hero Bruno Conti looks ahead at the upcoming campaign by stressing that they will have the same attitude that enabled them to fight Inter all the way last term: "Our weapons will be, as always, hard work, humility and professionalism," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"We are doing a good job on the transfer market. We brought in John Arne Riise and Simone Loria, purchased full rights to Mirko Vucinic and have managed to renew Daniele De Rossi and Alexander Doni's contracts. Now there is the Aquilani situation to sort out, but I am optimistic. We spoke to his father before the European Championships and we agreed to meet during the pre-season."

The former Azzurri player also reiterated that Vincenzo Montella will turn up at Trigoria on Sunday, because there are no negotiations taking place at the moment.

The Olympic stadium will host the next Champions League final and Conti hopes that the current crop of Giallorossi players will be able to lift the prized trophy that evaded him in 1984 at the hands of Liverpool: "After losing that final on home turf, it would be just perfect to win it here. And I could finally get my hands on that all-important cup that was the only silverware missing in my career," he concluded.
