AS Roma president James Pallotta has blamed the media for tension involving coach Rudi Garcia and the fans.
Garcia is under pressure with Roma now struggling for form.
"It's only a problem for the media, it's they who create it," Pallotta said.
"The only ones who see a problem are them and a few fans, who maybe aren't real fans either. Most other people don't think that way.
"I've met 30 [Roma fans] in Milan, and for them it's ok, the team is trying and this is just a phase. We're still second in the table.
"Every year the goal must be to win the Scudetto, I don't see what the problem is [with what was said]. Sometimes you win and sometimes you can't.
"Do you think that Rudi was a God last year, and is now the devil incarnate? I don't think so, it's just a period where we've had a few draws, we'll get back to winning."
