The Player
Dribbling & feints
Elegant, unreadable in one-on-one duels, using feints to open space that was not there.
Two-footed
Comfortable with either foot, but famous for cutting in from the left to strike with his right.
Acceleration
Pace on the ball that turns a broken play into a counter-attack in three touches.
Vision & set pieces
Crossing, finishing and dead-ball accuracy — as likely to create the goal as to score it.
Gianfranco Zola compared his style to that of George Best. Cristiano Ronaldo was his childhood idol.
