The veteran has urged supporters to remain calm following the draw with AC Milan and is confident of continuing their title challenge in the New Year.
Francesco Totti insists Roma will fight Juventus all the way in the race for the Serie A title despite falling three points adrift of the champions.
Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Milan at the Stadio Olimpico saw the Giallorossi lose ground on Juve, who had won at Cagliari 48 hours earlier.
But Totti says there will be no let-up as Roma attempt to go one better than last season’s second-place finish, while full-back Maicon assures supporters that his side will become a tougher proposition during the second half of the campaign.
“Rest assured, Roma will not give up until the end,” Totti told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I would say that we are doing well,” added Maicon, “but we must be more like bad guys. Against Milan there was a handball by Nigel de Jong which was important, but I work for my team and I don’t talk about referees.”
Roma return to action on January 6 with a trip to Udinese, while Juventus entertain Inter on the same day.
