Fiorentina striker Giovanni Simeone sees Milan’s Gonzalo Higuain as “the most complete striker in the league”.
The Viola youngster scored on his Argentina debut in a friendly last month, but there’s plenty of competition for places in the squad.
“Pipita is very strong, the most complete striker in the league,” Simeone admitted, speaking to DAZN.
Fiorentina striker Giovanni Simeone sees Milan’s Gonzalo Higuain as “the most complete striker in the league”.
The Viola youngster scored on his Argentina debut in a friendly last month, but there’s plenty of competition for places in the squad.
“Pipita is very strong, the most complete striker in the league,” Simeone admitted, speaking to DAZN.
“He has everything: he’s good on the ball, he scores goals and he helps the team. His quick movements are crucial in ‘killing’ the opposition defenders.
“You just have to give him a metre of space and he’ll hurt you.
“Mauro Icardi? Everyone thinks that when he’s not scoring he’s not helping the team, and maybe that true, but it’s made up for by the attention that’s paid to him for 90 minutes.
“If you get the ball to him he’ll put it in the net, so he’s always on the defender’s mind.”
Simeone’s father, Diego, is one of the most renowned Coaches in the world, could they work together at Atletico Madrid or elsewhere?
“At the beginning my surname weighed on me, but it’s different now. I’m a striker and if I score in a game it’s all about that.
“I hope he can become my Coach one day, even if it’s difficult to join a group where the Coach is your father. “Maybe he’ll be the Argentina CT, why not? Everyone would like that.
“In my family we all work to achieve the maximum, nothing is impossible.”
