Francesco Totti: 'Derby win changes our season'

Roma captain Francesco Totti believes that the weekend's derby win over Lazio can provide the catalyst for a successful season for Rudi Garcia's side.

Roma captain Francesco Totti has declared that yesterday's 2-0 win in the Derby della Capitale can give his side the belief to build a season to remember for the Giallorossi.

Rudi Garcia's men made it four wins in a row with a comfortable victory over bitter rivals Lazio, with Federico Balzaretti and Adem Ljajic on target at the Stadio Olimpico.

He told ESPN: "As I've said often, the derby is unlike any other game, and winning it can change your entire season because it reinforces your belief and gives you enthusiasm.

"We're not going to celebrate now, though, because we're thinking about [the next game against] Genoa, and if we want to build something definite, we've got to do so by keeping our attention high from game to game.

"We gained this win with concentration and, above all, the team's combined desire."

Totti, who turns 37 later this week, signed a new two-year contract extension with the league leaders 48 hours before the derby.
