Roma coach Claudio Ranieri hopes his side continues to enrich their seasonal ambitions by beating city rivals Lazio in Wednesday's Coppa Italia derby. A place in the quarter-finals is at stake, and despite an intense focus on challenging for the Scudetto, Ranieri reminded his men that the Coppa Italia will not be pushed aside. "It's not a real derby, but we can feel it, and we want to win," Ranieri told the press.
"I have rediscovered my team and we have been trying to climb point after point to win the Scudetto."Favourites for tomorrow? There is no favourite for the derby. We are playing well, but so are they. "There is happiness and enthusiasm in the dressing room. Everyone wants to be there, and those teams with the most quality get there in the end. "I expect a win tomorrow as Roma are aiming to win every competition they are involved in."
