The Portuguese international has taken out time to heap praise over his compatriot, claiming that he is among the best defenders in the world.
Real Madrid’s Pepe has expressed his admiration for his teammate, Fabio Coentrao.
Pepe stated that Coentrao has a lot of room to grow and will surely make a name for himself at the Spanish capital. According to the experienced defender, his fellow Portuguese international will continue to improve with time and he will soon cement his
position at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Madrid number 3 went on to exclaim that the former Benfica player is ideal for his position and currently no other player in the modern game has the ability to outclass him in that role.
Furthermore, he remarked that the Spanish La Liga provides the perfect chance for the Madrid number 15 to show his true talent and ability.
Coentrao was signed by the newly crowned champions of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 prior to the start of the recently passed season and is believed to become one of the most successful signings of the Jose Mourinho era, even though he has not been impressive during his first season
at the club.
However, as soon as the footballer became a part of Los Merengues, he had little difficulty in settling in with the new club.
Even though Coentrao was not able to play at his best for Madrid, he showed his true potential while representing the Portuguese team in the Euro 2012.
While discussing the full-back with reporters, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-c29670 was quoted as saying:
“He's the best fullb-ack in the world. I believe Madrid bear the privilege of having him. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 doesn't have to show anything to anybody. He has a lot of attributes, a lot of qualities.”
“He's young. He's shown that he is a great player. He's made the World Cup and the Euros. None of his capabilities are in doubt. I believe that Fabio has that patience. He will be working hard to succeed for Madrid. I believe that the warmth the people have
given to me they will give to him.”
In his first season with Real Madrid, the Portuguese international saw the Blancos secure their 32nd Spanish La Liga title.
