Eder goal ignored because he is not Messi or Ronaldo – Parolo

The Italy midfielder believes the Argentina and Portugal superstars would have received huge fanfare if they had scored the same strike his team-mate did against Sweden

Italy forward Eder has not received the credit he deserves for his winning goal against Sweden because he does not have the profile of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, team-mate Marco Parolo believes.

Eder ghosted past several Sweden defenders before finding the bottom corner to hand Antonio Conte's men a 1-0 win in Toulouse and entry into the Euro 2016 knockout stages with a match to spare.

But Parolo insists the Inter marksman hasn't received enough plaudits for his superb strike.
