"Kroos is like Federer, Bellingham is very good and Carvajal has no recognition"

The most recent round of the Argentine League Cup was sweet for Boca Juniors. His team beat Central Cordoba and River Plate were held to a draw by Atletico Tucuman. In addition, their president, , was interviewed on 'TNT Sports' and spoke not only about his position, but also about football in general. And he took the opportunity to praise Real Madrid.

One of the two journalists asked him: "Do you have time to watch football other than Argentinian football? He replied: "Yes, all of it". "What do you watch," he was asked. "All the matches," he remarked. "And what do you like?", they insisted. "What do I like? I like the '5' -Jude Bellingham- of Real Madrid, the German, the English? Well, Kroos is the closest thing to Federer playing tennis," he added.

"He can play ball and he can go home without taking a bath, it's the same thing, it's unbelievable. It's the same thing, it's an incredible thing. He plays ball, the guy doesn't throw himself on his feet, he doesn't get dirty, he doesn't sweat. It's an incredible thing. Bellingham? Yes, he's very good, but, then, it happens that they're players of a fabulous level, it's just that we're going to go back to more or less the same thing, I mean, because, sometimes, they have so much recognition some of them...", he continued to introduce Carvajal into the conversation.

"Carvajal doesn't have the recognition he deserves and he's going to be among the greatest right-backs in the history of Real Madrid, that is to say, he's a unique player and he doesn't have the recognition that others have," he said. His words have not taken long to gain a lot of notoriety among the Real Madrid fans, who are delighted that a legend of this calibre should talk about their players in this way.
