Andrea Pirlo: “Álvaro Morata can become one of the best forwards in the world.”

Juventus boss Andrea Pirlo believes Spain striker Álvaro Morata can become one of the best forwards in the world.

Former Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid player Morata scored a 92nd-minute winner for Juventus against Ferencvaros in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Italian football legend Pirlo believes new signing and former teammate Morata, who has seven goals in 10 games this season, can reach the highest level.

Morata is a strong player, but he just needed consistency and confidence. If he’s good mentally then he can do anything, he can become one of the best strikers around. If he trains well and is in good shape, playing and scoring, he’s a fundamental player not just for Juventus but also for his national team. We are working to put him in the best condition possible,” he told the media.
