Montero, invited to analyze the news of the Turin club, in a live broadcast on the Juve channel, spoke of the DT Andrea Pirlo and the club’s icons.

When asked about Cuadrado, he compared him to Garrincha, a famous Brazilian footballer who marked an era in the national team of his country, with two world titles, and in clubs such as Botafogo, Corinthians and even Junior de Barranquilla.

“He’s making a difference more than Cristiano Ronaldo. He looks like Garricha: he’s impressive,” said Montero, who played for Juventus between 1996 and 2005 and is now a coach.

Cuadrado stands out for his ability, but in recent years he has grown in his collective game, performing as a right back. In addition, he has become a luxury assistant in the Italian Calcio.
