Roman midfielder expects tough battles at the World Cup...

Italy midfielder Daniele De Rossi believes his side will have it tough in South Africa because the competition will be out to beat them.
De Rossi feels Italy face extra pressure to defend the trophy won in 2006 because their world champions crown acts as an extra incentive for the teams they come up against.
"Winning this World Cup would mean improving on the result obtained in Germany," he told Marca.com.
"We are playing as the world champions, which means all the teams will give their best against us."
Spain are among the favourites to win the tournament, and De Rossi has hailed la Seleccion's attractive style of football.
"Spain are really good at keeping the ball, that means they will always create plenty of chances," he added.
