Uruguay hero Ruben Sosa assures Juventus have themselves a real champion in Rodrigo Bentancur. ‘He’s like a Gennaro Gattuso with better technique.’
The midfielder won’t turn 23 until next month, but has taken over from Miralem Pjanic as first choice for Maurizio Sarri.
“Bentancur is a champion already, despite his young age,” former Inter striker Sosa told footballnews24.it.
Uruguay hero Ruben Sosa assures Juventus have themselves a real champion in Rodrigo Bentancur. ‘He’s like a Gennaro Gattuso with better technique.’
The midfielder won’t turn 23 until next month, but has taken over from Miralem Pjanic as first choice for Maurizio Sarri.
“Bentancur is a champion already, despite his young age,” former Inter striker Sosa told footballnews24.it.
“He is strong mentally, has no fear and plays more like someone of 28 rather than 23. He’s got it all and can be the future of the Bianconeri midfield.
“I’d say his style of play is similar to Gattuso, except Bentancur has better technique.”
He arrived from Boca Juniors for €12.5m in the summer of 2017, as part of the deal that took Carlos Tevez to Argentina.
So far this season, Bentancur has contributed one goal and seven assists in 29 competitive games for Juve.
