Roma midfielder Simone Perrotta has lavished praise on Lupi talisman Francesco Totti after the 33-year-old captain marked his comeback from knee surgery with a superb hat-trick that downed Bari 3-1 at the weekend.
“Totti is extraordinary,” Perrotta enthused on the Roma Channel.
“We are all satisfied with this victory. We did well in the first half, but not so much in the second.
“However, we collected three crucial points and started over on the right foot.”
Perrotta, a key member of the Italy side who conquered the planet in 2006, then went on to reflect on his chances of making the Azzurri squad for next summer’s World Cup finals.
“I don’t know if I deserve the national team or not,” he mused.
“It’s up to [coach Marcello] Lippi. After all, at this same stage I was not even being considered as a potential recruit four years ago.”
