“I think a lot of players wanted to see them. When I was growing up, I could see some of the best strikers in the world, so I wanted to be a number 9. It’s simply the way football works,” he continued.
“I think, tactically, some coaches play with a false 9, with a 9 and a half or a 10. It’s a shame because, in the end, scoring goals is the hardest part in football, so I would like to see more 9s. emerging. Over the years, they will come and go,” he added.
