Former Lazio and Juventus forward Paolo Di Canio is the latest name in world football to anoint Bianconeri star Diego, and, as always, he is not afraid to speak his mind.
“He is the only real trequartista in the world,” Di Canio told Tuttosport.
“He is a model for how a player should move between the lines. It’s very difficult to take him down and his technical qualities are above average.
“The way he interprets his role is top-notch. Is he better than Kaka? Yes, the ex-Milan player can’t dance between the lines like Diego does.”
But Diego keeps being overlooked by Brazil coach Carlos Dunga, something that Di Canio is unable to explain.
“Diego must be called up,” he insisted. “He is a potential Ballon d’Or winner. Only [Lionel] Messi is stronger than him. But the Argentine moves like a Playstation player!”
