Eusebio Di Francesco's Roma – with nine wins so far – has a game in hand on Napoli but Belgium international Nainggolan does not want to talk about the title.

"I don't want to talk about the Scudetto," Nainggolan said. "We are on a good path, we need to stay focused."

After stunning Premier League titleholder Chelsea 3-0 in the Champions League last week, Roma defeated Fiorentina 4-2 on Sunday.

Nainggolan added: "Di Francesco makes everyone feel important, even those who play less give more because they know their chance will come.

"We are ready and we are showing we are all on the same page. You can see that."
