Francesco: 'Do not put us among the favorites and that is great!'

Eugenio Di Francesco, the coach of Roma won a sweet win in his first derby against Lazio. His team made a 2: 1 lead and the former Wolves' midfielder highlighted the contribution of one of Radja Nainggolan`s top scorers and stressed that he liked Roma not to be among the teams considered to be title contenders.

I am very pleased. Up to the penalty for Lazio, we completely dominated. We showed excellent physical condition. Otherwise, we would not be able to push without sacrificing our opponents` rapids. Our victory is completely deserved. Our goal is to be as close to the top as possible. No one counts among the Serie A favorites and I like it. I think we are constantly improving. We now have to focus on Atletico Madrid`s visit to the Champions League, said Francesco. Naigolan really had an injury, but he clenched his teeth and helped the team. His nickname is the Ninja, but he`s a superhero for us. Before the game, I spoke to Francesco Totti promised to celebrate after his first derby victory outside the pitch. We will do the same, said the club's mentor.
