Stephan El Shaarawy reveals his target is 'to do well with Roma so I can play Euro 2016' after beating Lazio 4-1.
The Italy international continued his excellent run of form as he now counts six goals in 687 minutes in Serie A.
“It was a huge emotion to score in a derby and win it,” he told the Press after the game. “I must pay my compliments to my teammates.
“We must keep going along this path and not give up. Napoli made a mistake, so we must stay behind them and defend third place.

“We must keep going along this path and not give up. Napoli made a mistake, so we must stay behind them and defend third place.
“A goal in a derby has a special flavour, and it was the goal that opened the way. It was unforgettable.”
El Shaarawy was then questioned about his future, as he is still owned by Milan.
“The decision is down to the club. I'm happy here and I was able to integrate myself immediately. The objective is to do well at Roma so I can play Euro 2016 as a protagonist.
“Ever since [Coach Antonio] Conte took up the Azzurri, I've always been called up. I never felt cut out with him.
“This is an important goal, no less than the one I scored with the national team [against Germany]. It lets me build confidence.
“Second place? We must take advantage of the mistakes of the teams ahead of us. This win gives us the confidence we need to aim higher than third place.
“Francesco Totti? He's pleased by the victory, he's a great champion.”
