Before the Roma Derby, Lazio defender Romanioli was interviewed by the club's official website.

He said: "The derby is the most important game of the year, and we will be prepared. It will always be a unique game, and everyone wants to play this game, and it is exciting on all levels."

"If you are a Roman, you will feel the weight of this game more deeply, whether you have or not. I am talking about myself, Qatardi and Pellegrini."

"This feeling is great, but when the referee blew the opening whistle, everything will instantly dissipate and enter the game state. It's an indescribable beauty "

"I am very happy to finally realize my dream of playing on behalf of my beloved Lazio. Not all players have the opportunity to wear their own jerseys to support the team, and I am proud to be one of them."

"The most memorable derby? It must be the first derby I participated in. In November 2022, the game that was decided by Felipe Anderson. I greeted that game with curiosity and was a strong emotional experience. "

"It was a difficult victory, and there was 8 minutes of stoppage time, something I had never seen in the Roman derby."
