| | Agent believes in Beast |
Wednesday 12 November, 2008 |
| The agent of Roma striker Julio Baptista has promised that the Brazilian forward will make his mark in this weekend's Derby della Capitale.
Baptista is yet to truly make his mark at the Stadio Olimpico and has been blighted by injury problems.
But the man nicknamed 'The Beast' is expected to start against Lazio on Sunday evening and his representative believes he will rise to the occasion.
“If Luciano Spalletti gives him the chance to play, I'm sure he will have a great game,” Herminio Menendez told Romagiallorossa.com.
“He doesn't have any physical problems at the moment and he is raring to go.
“Julio knows well what it means to play in a derby here in Rome and he wants to make an important contribution.
“He is the kind of player who never fails in these big matches. Baptista excelled when he played for Sao Paulo against Corinthians, Arsenal against Chelsea and Real Madrid against Barcelona.”
