[SKY] Perrotta plans Prem finale The Italy midfielder, who was born in the Lancashire town of Ashton-under-Lyne, is eager to test himself in The Premiership before hanging up his boots. The 28-year-old has helped to propel the Azzurri into the World Cup final and intends to stay in his homeland for a good while longer, but there is likely to be no shortage of interest from English clubs should he ever decide to leave Roma. "I'd like to finish my career in England," he told The Sun. "I will play a few more years in Italy, and then see if I can end my career at one of the big clubs in The Premiership. "It would be nice to go back to where I was born to finish my career." Perrotta also declared that he would always have a soft spot for England due to his connection with the country. "Although my parents are Italian and I've spent most of my life in Italy, I still feel I have a little bit of England in me," he explained. "I could have played for England and I remember my family and friends said I could, but there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted to play for Italy. "I am so proud to be Italian and delighted to be in the World Cup final as it is every player's ultimate dream." 佩罗塔接受《太阳》报专访时表示自己希望在英超退役。 佩罗塔出生在英格兰西北部的 Lancashire town of Ashton-under-Lyne。 “我乐意在英格兰结束自己的职业生涯。” “我还会在意大利踢上一段时间，到时再看看是否有机会在英格兰的大俱乐部退役。” “能够回到自己出生的地方挂靴很不错。” 佩罗塔也说正是因为这层关系，所以自己一直以来都在关注英格兰队。 “尽管我的父母是意大利人并且我一生中绝大多数时光都在意大利度过，但我仍能感到自己身上有一些英格兰的东西。” “其实我可以为英格兰效力－－我记得我的家人和朋友们都这么跟我说过，不过在我的脑子里还是想为意大利踢球，这是毫无疑问的。” “作为一个意大利人我无比骄傲，能进入世界杯的决赛让我高兴不已，要知道这可是每个足球运动员最终极的梦想。” |
