Roma coach Jose Mourinho is excited ahead of today's derby against Lazio.
Mourinho admits he's eager to experience an Olimpico derby atmosphere.
"It's a derby and that can never be a game like the others, it always has something more," said Mourinho in his press conference.
“I have played many derbies in my time, but I am accustomed to excitement. The last time, it was basically behind closed doors and that is not a real derby. Now we are getting close to normality.
“The great thing about a derby is you can't tell who is the home team and who isn't. The derby without fans just isn't a derby.
“The thing that struck me about Roma fans was the affection, even before coming here. Usually you have to earn affection and work for it, but they opened their hearts without receiving anything in return."
He added: “What Roma do I want to see tomorrow? The one that wins."
