One more praise for Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, who for several seasons has been consolidated at Juventus, being a key player. Now, Paolo Montero, former Uruguayan defender and historian in the Vecchia Signora for her nine years and 10 titles in the team, compared the Colombian with a Brazilian legend, considered the best dribbler in history.
“He’s making a bigger difference than Cristiano Ronaldo. He looks like Garrincha, he’s impressive,” he said in an interview for Juventus’ official Twitch channel. The Uruguayan also referred to the moment of the Italian team with Andrea Pirlo, “I liked the last games. I saw a great Juve against Inter. They played like a great team … they have clear goals“, he assured.
Juan Cuadrado is one of the players who most insist on Juve’s attack, last season he was the most dribbler of the team, in this season he already has 35 dribbles in Serie A. The Colombian in his role as a winger reaching the area, has 11 assists (five in Serie A, five in the Champions League and one in the Italian Super Cup).
Several seasons ago, Buffon also praised that change-of-pace characteristic of Cuadrado.. “Square, because every time he eludes an opponent he seems to say: catch me if you can,” the Italian goalkeeper described in a letter to his teammates.
The 32-year-old hopes to remain important in the running of Juventus. This season he already got the Super Cup, but he hopes to achieve the club’s great goal, which is the Champions League. He also fights for the Italian Cup and Serie A.
