-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 74 OVR | CDM/CM/RM | Age 27 Matteo Brighi is an Italian midfielder. Born February 14, 2008, Brighi grew up in Rimini. He spent several seasons playing for Juventus and Parma, before moving to Roma for a deal worth a reported €11,500,000. He’s played a total of 15 games for Roma, scoring one goal. He is an excellent all-rounder, similar in playing style to Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard. He can play Center Midfield, and has a good, accurate shot. He has high stamina, and is well known for his excellent work rate. Following a 4-4 draw with Napoli, Roma coach Spalletti told viewers “My biggest mistake was not to bring Brighi on when we were winning. He adds defensive stability, and my choice cost us 2 points.” Daniele De Rossi is an Italian footballer, born July 24, 1983. He was brought up through the AS Roma Youth Program. He is a defensive midfielder, well known for his vision on the ball, combative personality, and gentlemanly behavior. The most recent demonstration of this was when De Rossi admitted to Mauro Bergonzi that he had scored a goal with his hand. Bergonzi had allowed the goal, until Daniele admitted that he had pushed the ball in, not with his head, but with his hand. Another example was during the 2006 FIFA World Cup. In a group match against USA, De Rossi was shown a straight red for elbowing American, Brian McBride. After the game, Daniele apologized to McBride. Daniele De Rossi also has a knack for finding the net. He has scored 18 goals for Roma, including an incredible 40-yard goal against Sebastian Frey. De Rossi knocked the ball onto his right foot, before unleashing a shot which curved away from a shell-shocked Frey. Hopefully Daniele De Rossi can add to his tally this season. 81 OVR | CDM/CM/CAM/LM | Age 30 Simone Perrotta was born in Ashton-under-Lyne, England. Born September 17, 1977, Perrotta lived in the Ulalalalail he was 6. He is a product of the Reggina Youth System, and debuted for the Serie B side in 1995. He was transferred to Juventus in 1998, but with Conte, Deschamps, and Zidane, he received limited playing time, and made a mere 5 appearances. In 2001, he moved to Chievo Verona. He made 96 appearances, scoring six goals, and countless assists, including the winning assist in Chievo’s famous win against the Nerazzuri. In 2004, Perrotta was sold to AS Roma. He has since played over 120 games, scoring 21 fabulous goals. His performances for Roma earned him a call-up to Marcelo Lippi’s World Cup squad. He started in all of the Azzuri’s games, and was key to their success. Under Luciano Spalletti, he plays in the pocket behind the striker, as a CAM. Despite this, he can play practically anywhere in the midfield. He is known for his unlimited energy, fantastic tackling ability, and never-say-die attitude. Despite his age, he feels he can still improve, and has compared himself to win, in that “it only gets better as it gets older”. He will be pivotal in leading Roma to the Scudetto this season. http://www.asroma.it/UserImages/15449.jpg 82 OVR | CDM/CM/CAM | Age 28 David Pizarro is a midfielder of Chilean descent. Born 11 September, 1979, he is a primarily deep-lying footballer. His excellent passing is helped by his vision, making him a deadly playmaker, capably of setting up many goals. Since his transfer from Inter, he has netted four goals in 63 appearances, proving that he can score as well as set up others. 83 OVR | CDM/CM/CAM/RM | Age 24 Alberto Aquilani is a native Italian, and since being born July 7, 1984m has been supporter of AS Roma.

He was loaned to US Triestina for the 2003-2004 season, and was one of their best players. In the 2006-2007 season, he was expected to be one of the best players in the league. Yet a crippling injury resulted in few appearances that season. He has made a total of 96 appearances, scoring nine goals. These include two brilliant long range goals, scored in the first two matches of the 2007-2008 season. He is famed for both his long shots, and passing ability. He generally plays as a defensive midfielder, with team-mate Daniele De Rossi. 81 OVR | CF/CM/CAM/LW | Age 26 Julio Baptista, often known as La Bestia, a Brazilian footballer, who primarily plays as an attacking midfielder, or winger.
