Former striker Alessandro Matri has drawn a comparison between AS Roma winger Donyell Malen and Carlos Tevez, highlighting the similarities in their playing style and mentality. Speaking on DAZN, Matri noted that Malen has been earning consistent praise and applause since January, accumulating 11 league goals during that period. Beyond the statistics, Malen's presence on the pitch conveys a sense of dominance and particular electricity that stands out.
Matri explained his assessment: "According to me he has a certain similarity with Tevez. In the ruthlessness, in the intention, he already knows what to do when the ball arrives, also the stop in the direction of the goal, because he sees the space. Carlos was a total player, he is above Malen, but in the ruthlessness, in the movements, in the desire to score and also in the assists he reminds me of him." While acknowledging that Tevez was the superior overall player, Matri emphasized that Malen shares comparable aggression, movement, goal-scoring hunger, and assist-making ability.
Malen continues to establish himself as a key attacking threat for Roma, with his combination of physicality, technical awareness, and finishing ability drawing favourable comparisons to one of Europe's most successful South American imports of the previous decade.
