Rome, Oct. 16 (LaPresse) – "No one really expected Roma to be at the top. So this match becomes important for both teams to understand where they really stand," said Francesco Totti in an interview with Corriere della Sera, previewing the big Serie A match this weekend. "I think Inter is the most elegant team in Serie A, I like how the players move on the field; they can do everything. Roma has shown a fighting spirit in these first games, and that will be needed on Saturday. Gasperini will need his helmet; it’s going to be a battle," he added. About the key players expected at the Olimpico: "It might be cliché, but I’m thinking Lautaro on one side and Dybala on the other. They are the two who can change the result. Only one of them will definitely play while the other (Dybala) is uncertain. But if I have to pick a name, I’m betting on another player," said Totti, who refrained from predicting Roma as a title contender. "Let’s wait, it’s still early in the season, so be cautious with definitive judgments. I hope for a very long red carpet for Roma. If Gasperini’s team remains among the top even in spring, with 7-8 games left, then it will be exciting. Yes, the team has everything to aim at least for a Champions League qualification," he concluded.
