Roma midfielder looking for World Cup repeat

Roma midfielder Simone Perrotta goes into tonight’s Champions League match against Manchester United hoping his team can duplicate the success achieved by Italy in Germany last summer.

Giallorossi players Perrotta, Francesco Totti and Daniele De Rossi were all in the Azzurri squad that upset the odds to capture the World Cup and Roma are attempting to do the same in Europe’s elite club competition.
