Zirkzee’s play is a joy to watch—really easy on the eye. I love seeing him in action. Just picture him as a No. 10, with an elite striker ahead of him (I actually thought he linked up well with Chido against Fulham), and an elite right wing-back who can match the quality of Dorgu on the left-hand side.

Motta has been quoted saying that many try to compare Zirkzee to Zlatan, but he believes his game is closer to Ronaldinho’s. Now, nobody should be compared to the genius of that footballer, but you can see why Motta said it. And who am I to argue with him? He played alongside Ronaldinho at Barcelona for years and coached Zirkzee at Bologna.
