Lazio defender Alessio Romagnoli gave an interview a few days ahead of the highly anticipated Derby della Capitale.

“The derby is beautiful, both to experience and to play. It’s the most important game of the year, and we’ll be ready.”

“The schedule doesn’t change anything; it’s a game in itself that everyone can’t wait to play. It’s disappointing about the last match’s result, but scoring was a great feeling. We’ll try to win this time.”

“For me, the Rome derby is the best; it’s the most heartfelt, and the one we talk about for months. From the next day onwards, we’ll talk about it for months.”

“The other derbies are great, but they’re less heartfelt. How close are we? It depends; when you’re from Rome, you feel it more. Cataldi, Pellegrini, and I feel it more. It’s a great feeling, hard to explain.”
