But I am not [at Roma] now and he could have continued," Spalletti told Mediaset Premium."Our paths have not crossed. If they had, I would have offered all my friendship. "The Totti fans jeered me, but I received many positive messages from the Roma fans." Inter's impressive start to the season, which began with a 3-1 opening-round win over Fiorentina, has sparked hopes of a title tilt, but Spalletti downplayed those chances. "Let us focus on reality here. [Scudetto speculation] is all about blowing up the balloon, so if you finish second, it will feel like a failure," he said."Inter are a good team but we need to work."</blockquote>
