Wife of Juventus great Rossi: Napoli striker Raspadori just like Paolo

The wife of the late Paolo Rossi admits she's a fan of Napoli striker Giacomo Raspadori.

Raspadori is being likened to the Italy and Juventus great.

Federica Cappelletti told Radio Nuovo: "Paolo has represented a lot for Italian football, I really hope that Raspadori can collect this legacy and that he can go even further. It would be the best wish I could give to this boy.

"Paolo always remembered that to become a champion talent is not enough, it is also necessary to accompany him with human skills and with the heart. Here, Raspadori could give continuity to what Paolo was, from a technical and human point of view.

"There is a lot of curiosity to see how he will progress in his career. Paolo saw this national team play in the last months of his life and he too was very curious about how this Italy would grow. And also about how Giacomo Raspadori would grow. Surely there is some similarity."
