The 42-year-old trainer was in awe of the Colombian international, stating that he is at the same level as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296.
Resumption of La Liga after the international break sees Rayo Vallecano make the short cross town trip to the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paco-c29025 Jemez, manager of the Madrid minnows, stated that they have a tough task on their hands as they will come up against Radamel Falcao.
Jemez was in awe of the prolific marksman, who has scored back-to-back hat-tricks in his last two competitive fixtures for Atletico Madrid, whilst also continuing his club for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Colombia-c2873, scoring in both of their international matches.
Having seen the striker in action at the Vicente Calderon, the Las Palmas born head coach shared that he was impressed by what he saw of Falcao. Jemez was sure of the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 attacker’s abilities, hailing him as the best striker in penalty area at the moment.
The Cordoba youth academy graduate attributed Falcao’s great presence of mind and his sixth sense as his reason for success, while also taking out time to praise his uncanny desire to recover lost balls.
“I have been to the Calderon and have had the chance to see him live and Falcao is an animal, he is one of those forwards that really impresses,” the Coach said while talking to reporters.
“I think Falcao is the best No 9 inside the penalty area in the world. He has a sixth sense for knowing where the ball is going to fall, whilst he never gives up on a lost ball either, he is an example for his teammates.”
Atletico Madrid did their best to keep a hold of their star attacker during the 2012 summer transfer window; however, Paco Jemez shared that he would love to watch Falcao in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 or Real Madrid colours.
The Rayo Vallecano coach was off the opinion that Falcao can get similar number of strikes against his name to what Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo get if he way plying his trade at the Camp Nou or the Santiago Bernabeu.
“I’d like to see him at Real Madrid or Barcelona. He would roughly get the same number of goals as [Lionel] Messi or [Cristiano] Ronaldo; he would walk into either team.”
