Fiorentina defender Micah Richards has tipped countryman Ravel Morrison to have success with new club Lazio next season.
Richards, on loan from Manchester City, has followed the careers of former Manchester United starlets Morrison and current Juventus star Paul Pogba when they all played in England.
Speaking with The Telegraph he said: “Paul Pogba was at Manchester United with Ravel. I know people improve at different stages, but Ravel was always better than Pogba.”
“I watched them both together. Pogba didn’t get his chance at United, went to Italy [to Juventus] and now he’s worth £50 million, people are saying.”
“Ravel would definitely suit Italian football, because it’s more technical. I hope he can concentrate on his football and not have any distractions and see how far he can go.”
Richards’ contract is up at the end of the season and it is currently unclear whether he will stay with Fiorentina or move on to a different club, while Morrison’s deal is for three years.
WTF is the muppet chatting about?
Muppet or puppet? He should head to 2nd tier MLS as a center back. He’s named into the All Star team if he does. Better yet, go captain NYC FC. Citeh for life Micah?
