Just thought a post of anticipation ahead of tonight's Derby della Capitale was in need. After a much more convincing performance on Sunday against a strong Sampdoria team, we have every right to feel confident ahead of tonight's cup tie. It seems that there will not be a completely first-string side starting for us tonight, with Berni stepping in, joined by Gonzalez and Kozak, replacing Muslera, Mauri and Floccari. A boost is the return of Biava and Radu, who can reclaim their places at the expense of Diakite and Scaloni. I'm particularly excited about Gonzalez being given this chance, a start in the derby may be just what he needs to start to make his mark at our club. Diakite deserves praise for his performance on Sunday, although not the best with the ball at his feet he put in a solid defensive display and looked good when bombing forward in a way reminiscent of Lucio. Hopefully he will be given a chance to realise his potential.
I'll be back to report on tonight's clash later in the week, but for now we can be assured that although it's not a first-string team tonight everyone out there will be giving it their all to claim bragging rights in the Eternal City. For now.....
FORZA LAZIO!
NON MOLARRE MAI!
