In his time, Ravanelli, nicknamed the White Perot, was considered a formidable striker, catching up on the rivals of Turin Juventus and other clubs in which he performed.

According to the scorer, in modern football, he could score much more, because now he would not be confronted with less masterful defense players.

"It was difficult to score goals before, but now it's quite easy," Ravanelli said..

"The times of the great defenders passed. In football, there are no more Maldini, Nesta, Stam ... The attackers have five to six points per game, and once we had only one or two, a maximum of three chances per game ".

"I do not want to look narcissist, but in the 1995-1996 season I scored 34 goals for Juventus, and the following year I marked the 31st ball for Middlesbrough. In current times, I could score 60 goals per season and cost 80 million pounds ".

"This applies not only to me. Erik Cantona, Gianfranco Zola, Teddy Sheringham and others would also be much more effective in modern football, "- summed up the Italian.

Ravanelli defended the colors of Juve from 1992 to 1996. In addition to Staraya Siniora, he played for such clubs as Middlesbrough, Marseille, Lazio and others.
