Di Canio slams Totti

Lazio striker Paolo Di Canio has slammed Roma's captain Francesco Totti.

Di Canio believes that Totti - often called the symbol of Roma - is more worried about himself than the club.

"The 'symbol' says he will only stay if you build a team," said Di Canio.

"I think this annoys Roma's supporters.

"When I joined Lazio I paid to come here, but I earned happiness.

"I never made demands because to play in Lazio's jersey is the best of life.

"If Lazio were relegated or went bankrupt for me it would remain a beautiful thing.

"For someone else - evidently - the team is not so important."

The comments are sure to stoke the rivalry ahead of the Rome derby on Thursday.
