French defender Philippe Mexes took time to discuss Roma’s fine form in recent weeks. He admitted the Giallorossi escaped from Florence with the  three points after a tough match against Fiorentina. Mexes felt Roma were lucky but insisted luck is part of the game and that the Giallorossi have earned it with their hard work.

Mexes thinks the club can go far if the players persevere and keep working hard as a cohesive unit. The Frenchman has been linked with a move away from Rome once the season is over. Speculation is rife about a move to Turin to join fallen giants Juventus.
