Il Gialloroscio

Norwegian footballer John Arne Riise talks with members of Roma Club Norvegia at AS Roma's training centre in Trigoria outside Rome. He answered plenty of questions with candour and humour, and it was a revealing insight into the club. He and his agent Jan Kvalheim - a former beach volleyball player who represented Norway at the Olympics - were more than generous with their time despite Roma having lost to Palermo the previous night.

Il Gialloroscio is a play on words - giallo and rosso being red and yellow, the colours of AS Roma, but roscio meaning redhead.
