Lazio coach Edy Reja admits he was happy seeing Francesco Totti sent off on the weekend.
With the Rome derby looming, Totti will now be suspended for AS Roma.
"It's better for me that Totti doesn't play," Reja smiled.
"Roma are a great team and you'll see that they will climb back up the table, but hopefully after the derby.
"Anyway our secret is that in the dressing room you no longer hear the word 'I'. Because it's the group that counts, a little like what Mourinho, Ferguson and Capello do at their clubs.
"They inspire me a lot because I consider the group to be the essence of football."
