Sampdoria forward Eder has praised his Juventus counter-part Carlos Tevez.
The two players faced off against each other – a 1-1 draw – at Juventus Stadium on Sunday and speaking before that clash, Eder noted his admiration for Tevez.
“Tevez is extraordinary, a world class forward and has always been my idol since he played for Corinthians,” he told Italian sport newspaper Tuttosport, as reported by website Football Italia.
“It was 2005, I had just arrived in Italy with Empoli, but I already admired him. He is decisive even when he doesn’t score and that is his greatest strength.”
