It's been five years since the Serie A has seen a different champion other than Juventus, the last one was AC Milan back in 2011. This weekend, AS Roma who is the closest Juventus' contender on the table, will face the Old Lady and has a very good chance of shortening the point-gap from six to three units if they manage to win the game. Roma's winger Perotti, is confident they can give the surprise and win the game.
Talking to AS Roma's website, Perotti said: "Buffon was right when he said Roma can win the title. We have beaten Napoli, AC Milan, Inter and Lazio. You do not beat teams like that, teams fighting for the Scudetto, without deserving it. We have dropped some crucial points and now we are four points off the pace, but now we are going toe-to-toe with them and we have to get the win. The fact that Buffon has said those nice things shows that we are doing well."
About the differences between Edin Dzeko and Gonzalo Higuain, Perotti added: "They are both great strikers. I prefer Edin, because he is one of my team-mates and he is having an awesome season. Both of them are players that only have one thing in their mind when they get the ball in the box - looking for goal. They can both contribute to the play and supply assists too, they are complete footballers and they are among the best in the world."
