Lazio midfielder Nani is looking forward to the derby with AS Roma.

Nani is well aware of the importance of the game.

He said, "Since the moment I arrived, people talk to me about nothing else. I experienced the derby in Manchester, in Lisbon and Istanbul. It's always passionate, but I've already got goosebumps for the Rome derby.

“Roma are a very strong side, one of the five candidates to win the Scudetto. Edin Dzeko is particularly dangerous, but the others are not to be underestimated either.

“Federico Macheda (former Lazio player) already told me about it in Manchester. We were good friends at the time and he always talked about Lazio. I chose to live in the centre of Rome, so I can breathe in the derby atmosphere. I know what it means.

“I love Rome so much that I wanted to experience it to the full. I've already visited the Colosseum and the Vatican."
