Torino forward Alessio Cerci has hailed Juventus striker Carlos Tevez as a "special player" ahead of tomorrow's Turin derby.

Tevez has scored three times in five games since joining Juve from Manchester City in the summer.

"The anger that he possesses during the 90 minutes, the strong character he has, the incredible grit," Cerci told Tuttosport. "He transmits positive energy.

"Tevez is always fired up on the field. He has extraordinary technical skills, great physical abilities which, when added to that character, make him a special player. But he certainly does not have my left foot."

Cerci has also impressed this season, scoring five goals for Torino already.
