Varela: “The goal at San Siro against Inter is the most beautiful. I watch Esposito and Thuram”

The goal scored at San Siro against Inter is the most beautiful scored so far. Varela, striker for Monza and top scorer of the league, fresh from winning the Rising Star of the Month award given by Serie A for the month of October, is convinced of this. Speaking to Sport Mediaset, he recalled that emotion with precise words.

“It is because of its meaning. And also because of the stadium, a fantastic stadium. Honestly, I didn’t think I could score, I just tried to play the best match I could; when the goal came it was incredible, when I watched it again it was very beautiful,” said the player.

During the interview, Varela also spoke about the role models he follows most closely. Looking to the past, he mentioned Karim Benzema: “If I look back, my idol was Benzema, a complete player.” In the present, however, his attention returns to Serie A and two players: “I like to watch my own league, and you have Pio Esposito who is really complete, as is Marcus Thuram.”

Varela also mentioned Ramos: “Gonçalo Ramos is also very good.” A list of references that reflects the player’s taste for complete strikers.
