Diego Perotti assures Roma “absolutely won’t give Atletico Madrid up for dead” on Wednesday and says a new contract would be a ‘reward’.
Roma only need a point at Wanda Metropolitano to book their place in the Champions League last 16, and they face an Atleti side that have yet to win a group game and not scored more than once in a match since September.
“We absolutely won’t give them up for dead,” the winger said at a Press conference.

“We absolutely won’t give them up for dead,” the winger said at a Press conference.
“We know what Atletico are capable of, we know their path in the Champions League and the Finals they’ve reached, the League they won at the expense of Barcelona, something that was unthinkable until recently.
“We know how Simeone fires his team up and it’ll be difficult to face them, mainly because they’re play at home, but we’re aware that we’ve picked up two good results out of three.
“Penalties? It’s been like this since I played for Sevilla. I didn’t learn my technique from anyone.
“I’ve worked on it so much, and slowly I perfected my way of taking penalties. Only a goalkeeping friend of mine at Sevilla gave me some advice.
“I’ve been training with this method of taking penalties for nearly 10 years.
“From my first moment here, they made me feel important and this was decisive. I’ve been striving to improve and do the best I can.
“A new deal? It would be a reward because I’m very happy here and I’d like to stay at Roma for a long time. It would be the crowning of my rebirth in football.”
