A TALE OF LEFT FOOTED RIGHT WINGER - HAKIM ZIYACH EDITION
Ziyach caught my eye last season with Ajax& #39;s epic European run in the UCL. This season CFC fan base has been pondering their options once Willian and Pedro departs. Many talk about Sancho but what about Ziyach...

As you saw @Blue_Footy line up above which looks balanced all throughout the field from def to atk. Most notably the left footed RW Ziyach& #39;s selection brings a different dimension to our game.... Inverted winger!
Recently I called out for him

Sublime ability from the right to open his body up and whip in a pin point cross with his left foot to find Promes in the left wing.
Utterly ripping open the defence! I can picture Pulisic and CHO getting behind these saucy crosses!

World class ability in set pieces. This was 100% a touch of luck but go and watch some of his videos and you& #39;ll see what a wonderful free kick take he is!

The movement in this goal from Ziyach is brilliant. He reads the play so well. Tracking his team& #39;s movement & manoeuvring the space for his left footed shot.
This type of play will bring a different dimension to CFC& #39;s attack. Drift from left to mid.

Another supreme example of inverted wing play. Smart run on the RW and then cuts in. His control & movement with the ball is too much to handle for the full back. Finally the defence splitting cross to LW Promes to score.
Let the propaganda begin!
