AS Roma's Dutch midfielder Kevin Strootman was interviewed by Premium Sport ahead of the upcoming Rome derby at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday night with kick-off scheduled for 20.45 CET.

The former PSV midfielder spoke about how he views the derby della Capitale stating that "I arrived at Roma 4 or 5 years ago, it is not a new experience for me. The derby is always special and this year both Roma and Lazio are doing well so I think it will be a great match. There are no favorites going into this match so we will have to wait and see who is having a better day on Saturday and can take all three points" Strootman concluded.

Strootman joined Roma during the summer of 2013, leaving PSV Eindhoven for a reported fee of €17 million which could rise to €19 million with add-ons and has since joining the Giallorossi played 187 matches for them scoring 28 goals across all competitions.
