AS Roma coach Daniele de Rossi insists they can beat Inter Milan on Saturday.

De Rossi says Roma can surprise Inter if his team clicks.

He stated: "Tomorrow we will have to have respect but also a bit of arrogance and bravado. We are not the last arrived, if you show too much respect you are afraid and if you are afraid then you lose.

"There will be moments in which we will suffer tomorrow because they are strong. Knowing that, what will happen and it's for mature people, accepting it means losing. We have to convince ourselves that we can win because it's true.

"In an entire championship they are stronger but in a single match they can be beaten."

On former Inter striker Romelu Lukaku, De Rossi also said: "I try to separate the emotional aspect from the football one. I have to speak to the hearts of the players, for me it would be enough for him to play the same match as against Cagliari. I liked Monday a lot. He'll be able to manage a bit of emotion, he's no longer 20 years old."
