Diego Perotti is an Argentine professional footballer who plays for Italian club A.S. Roma. Mainly a winger who can play with both feet, he can also appear as an attacking midfielder. Perotti is about efficiency - frills and skills only used when necessary. Sure, he can pull off a rabona when he needs to, or play a no-look pass to team-mate if he wants, but only because that's the most effective piece of play at that moment in time. Perotti always wants the ball to feet - wherever he is on the park. He's not afraid to try something. He goes for it and almost never gets it wrong. He spent the better part of his career with Sevilla, appearing in 159 competitive games over the course of six La Liga seasons (16 goals) and winning two major titles. On 9 November 2009, Perotti received his maiden call-up for the Argentine national team. He made his debut five days later, playing the last ten minutes of the 1–2 friendly loss against Spain in Madrid after having come on as a substitute for FC Barcelona's Lionel Messi. |
