Candreva: ‘Lazio symbol of Rome’

By Football Italia staff

Lazio’s Antonio Candreva dismisses Roma, describing the Aquile shirt as ‘the symbol of this city’.

The Biancocelesti are locked in a battle with their city rivals for second place, and the Italian international has stoked feelings in the eternal city.

“When I first got to Lazio I had some difficulty,” Candreva admitted, speaking at a local school.

“Now I feel at home. To wear this shirt is an honour, and a dream come true. I’m proud to wear this shirt, because it’s the symbol of this city.”

Lazio will face Roma in the Derby della Capitale on May 24, a match which could potentially be decisive for the Champions League places.
