Giordano told Il Mattino, via Calcio Napoli 24:
“We are talking about an incredible player and we are not discovering him now,” Giordano told Il Mattino, via Calcio Napoli 24.
“He opens gaps for his teammates, walks the defences and then scores. He does not give up and is always the protagonist : he plays every ball as if it were the one of life.”
He said the Nigerian, who scored seven headers last season is stronger in that area than the legendary Portuguese forward:
“The header. In this fundamental he is even stronger than Cristiano Ronaldo.”
So far in his career, CR7 has scored 122 headed goals and his supreme heading technique is regarded as one of the best in football.
