Roma defender Gianluca Mancini was interviewed by DAZN a few minutes prior to the Derby della Capitale with Lazio.
The Italian centreback commented on the game’s importance.
“The atmosphere is spectacular. The derbies in Rome are something truly unique.”
“It does something to your stomach that makes you breathe differently. We are focused on winning tonight.”
“I have always tried to keep my heart warm and my head cool, keep my emotions in check. Sometimes I have not succeeded but what I told the rest of the team is to stay calm, it is a beautiful game and it is very important for everyone.”
“We must not change our nature, because our way of playing has borne fruit. In Milan we conceded 3-4 counterattacks that could have cost us dearly. We must be good at understanding our opponent tonight so as not to concede and put them in difficulty.”
