Hernan Crespo was full of praise when speaking about Lautaro Martinez, comparing him to the great Sergio Aguero.

One of the best strikers of his generation, Hernan Crespo scored goals everywhere he went. Be it with the Argentina national team, Chelsea, Parma, AC Milan, Inter or River Plate, he knew how to score. Speaking in an interview with Sky Sport Italy, here’s what he had to say when asked about current Argentina and Inter striker Lautaro Martinez: 

“Lautaro could be the next Kun Aguero. We know about Mauro Icardi and Paulo Dybala but we are getting to see what Lautaro Martinez can do.

“Maybe he’s not as good of a dribbler but he is more of a team player than Aguero, who at times disconnects. Lautaro always participates, he could play alone or with another striker like he’s doing now with Lukaku or even in a trident.”

Hernan Crespo has come out and supported his former team mate Lionel Messi.

One of the best strikers of his generation, Crespo took part in two tournaments with Argentina alongside Messi. The first was at the 2006 World Cup where Messi even assisted Crespo for the fourth goal against Serbia and Montenegro. The second was the 2007 Copa America where the team made the final.

Crespo has come out and decended Messi, who has yet to win a senior international trophy. Speaking with Ole, here’s what he had to say:

“It is very difficult to be Messi, nobody can put himself in his place as nobody could, at the time, put himself in Maradona’s place. It is impossible to know what they think and what they live.

“It makes me happy to see him play in the national team, I would love, as an Argentine also, to see him become world champion. Leo is a guy who has been at a very high level for many years, receives kicks, gets up and carries on, always working.

“Actually, if you think about it, somehow it is soccer that owes Messi. But that is not going to take away greatness. We are Argentines and we want him to be world champion, I want him it all my heart, but he goes beyond a title and he will not stop being immense.”

Inter legend Javier Zanetti gave an interview with Sky Sport where he spoke about Lautaro Martinez and on Lionel Messi.

The former Argentina man was full of praise when commenting on Lautaro Martinez. Here’s what he had to say:

“I’m glad to talk about Lautaro because when we signed him after we followed him for some time. At the time he was the most promising player in Argentina, talking to Milito we said he could have an important future.

“He is a boy who has grown a lot; he is a strong point of reference in the national team. He is happy at Inter and I hope he will stay for a long time.”

Zanetti was also asked about the Brazilian Ronaldo and if he was the best team mate he ever played with:

“Ronaldo had a great class, I was also lucky enough to play with Messi. They are the two strongest I’ve ever played with.”

Italian legend Alessandro Del Piero has come out and praised Paulo Dybala.

The Argentina man has been linked with a move away from the club but Del Piero believes that Dybala is the right man for the team. Speaking with Sky Sport Italia, here’s what Del Piero had to say:

“Dybala has already worn the captain’s armband a few times and if that happened, it’s because at Juventus they consider him to be worthy of it.

“Considering what I know of him, his performances on the field and off, I think that Paulo has matured in recent months. The best show of that was how he dealt with what happened over the summer, his reaction emblematic of how much he has grown.

“We knew he was someone who loves to work and today I feel he has become a complete player.”
