Gian Piero Gasperini had never counted on Zeki Celik to start until now, preferring Mario Hermoso.
The Spaniard’s problems this week forced the coach to start the Turk for the derby.
Before the match, Celik told DAZN, “The derby is always special, I love being on the pitch in this game. Being on the pitch against Roma is special.”
“The manager wants a compact team, I have to press, attack and defend well.”
