It seems like an anecdotal question, but considering the justification, it all makes sense. Lorenzo Musetti appeared on a podcast related to Juventus de Turin, so there would definitely be football questions. "What player would Carlos Alcaraz be?" they asked the Italian. Here was his response.

"I would say he is an artist in midfield, like Zinedine Zidane. He invents a lot, creates, designs plays. The midfield is a position that distributes the ball, so I see a lot of similarity there, also in personality, a player who always played with his head held high. Carlos is also very strong in that aspect, when he decides to do something, he does it with authority, without hesitation," evaluated the country's second-best player.
