Cannavaro impressed with Diego

"He is an atypical attacking midfielder, he's difficult to knock off the ball, it shows that he's played in Germany."

Cannavaro impressed with Diego

he said of the former Werder Bremen player.

Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro said Thursday he has been impressed with the new addition to Serie A since he himself left the championship in 2006.

Cannavaro is back with Juventus this season after spending three years with Real Madrid, whom he joined after Juve were relegated to Serie A for match-fixing.

Cannavaro has been pleased with his team's new star Diego, who he believes is destined to emulate his own individual achievements.

"He's very good at playing in the spaces, with him teams are going to have to go back to man-marking.

"I hope that in a year's time he wins the Golden Ball."

That was an award that Cannavaro himself won in 2006 following Italy's World Cup triumph.
