He's such a good player that at the age of 26 he's only had a thread on the Cafe since yesterday.
He literally has like five threads on here, oldest is almost four years old.
And he really is a good player, a bit frustrating at times because everything he does tends to be high risk. Maybe a guy like Odegaard can reach the same level in terms of productivity, he’s an interesting player and clearly exceptional on the ball.
But the most impressive thing about Ziyech is his workrate off the ball, he’s made an incredible development in that aspect since joining Ajax under Peter Bosz and it was a vital part of his game in their recent succesful European campaigns, both this year and in 2017. He was phenomenal in his last year at FC Twente as well, but much more of a solo artist.
Odegaard doesn’t have the engine yet to play high intensity pressing for 90 minutes at a high European level, wouldn’t be surprised if he never gets there either and always remains a bit of a luxury player. But he’s got plenty of time to develop that part of his game.
