In the fourth round of the Serie A this weekend, Roma will play against derby rival Lazio in "away". On Wednesday, two Roman players, Cristant and Girardi, attended the club's business event and were interviewed.

Christant said: "This week of the derby is never different from other match weeks. We are preparing to meet the derby at our best. We are excited to wear the derby in the Rome jersey, and the opportunity to wear the captain's armband is a unique feeling. We have a great coach like Gasperini, we train very well, and we have to keep it."

Girardi said: "I adapted very quickly after joining Rome. My goal is to continue to grow and improve and follow the coach's instructions. I have been watching the derby on TV in the past, and I can't wait to see the grand occasion when I watch the derby live. I can't wait to look forward to Sunday."
