After the goalless draw between Spain and Portugal on Friday’s friendly, ESPN analyst Alejandro Moreno had some harsh criticism for Juve’s Alvaro Morata.
The striker wasted several chances during the match, and Moreno believes that he’s just not good enough to be the man leading the attack for la Furia Roja, as he’s not on the same level with the likes of Fernando Torres and David Villa who were pillars during Spain’s golden age.
The journalist also criticized Portugal’s defensive approach, believing that the team should play a much more progressive style of football with the talents at its disposal, led by Cristiano Ronaldo.
I also think Juve would do well without Morata.
Overall he misses a lot of good chances and sometimes even looks like a zombie on the field for a whole match.
There are better options on the market….
I have watched many Juventus games, Morata has been very good this season for them. He’s scored some goals, bagged some assists, and works hard every game. He hasn’t missed many big chances this season. Did you know that Pablo Sarabia missed an open goal? I bet you didn’t, because everyone is critisizing Morata.
Morata was a last minute risk, a frustrating player that can have on and off days. There is better out there
