Tonight the ‘Derby of the South’ between and will take place at the Stadio .

coach Luis talked about his team’s moment in today’s press conference, and also spoke about captain , who has been talked about a lot last week after his missed penalty against Juventus.

“I’ve talked with Totti during the week,” he said to Repubblica.it, “and I thought he was on a very good level, this week he’s trained well. His attitude is the same, I have a good rapport with him, both when he plays and when he doesn’t. We have to continue working together.

“Francesco is doing well physically, he is a part of our project, and he can continue beating records. He will take the next penalty, unless he doesn’t want to.”

The coach feels the team’s intensity will be crucial to have the best chance of winning the match.

“In every match, if you have more intensity than the opponent you have a good advantage,” he continued. “Against Juve the players’ motivation is obviously stronger. Against a top-level team like Napoli, if you are not on their level or above them in the intensity it becomes difficult.”

Founder of Socceranchor.com, I am a devoted Serie A and Roma supporter, who fell in love with the game at the age of just five, when Roberto Baggio excelled at the ’94 World Cup. Living in Australia and initially supporting Fiorentina, all roads led to Rome when star man Gabriel Batistuta made the switch, and I have not looked back since. Have worked for Goal.com and ESPNsoccernet over the past five years, whilst I spent a few months in the UK in 2010, working as an intern for the likes of ESPN, Sky Sports and The Guardian. Also had the amazing opportunity to report from the recent World Cup in South Africa – a life changing experience. Follow me on twitter: @adriandelmonte
