Serie A starlet: ‘Real Madrid stars my idols’
Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Gerson opened up on several topics, including which Real Madrid players he looks up to as idols:
“In the Fluminense youths I started from the middle. Then I was advanced in the role of an external attacker. But I love being a midfielder.
“Modric and Kroos [are my idols]. But as a kid I grew crazy for Robinho. A genius. I could watch movies for hours with his technical gestures.
“I do not care to indicate a number [of goals I’ll score as a midfielder]. He cheated ... 6-7 assistss. I could also stop at two as long as Fiorentina disputes a great championship. The group effort counts not the single.”
