GianFranco Zola has had a fantastic playing career as he mostly played in the Serie A and the EPL.
The little Italian forward has played for clubs like Napoli, Parma and Cagliari to name just a few.
He also had a very successful career in the Premier League for Chelsea netting 59 EPL goals for them in 229 games. He retired from football in 2005 as he has since managed a few different clubs (West Ham, Watford, Cagliari, Al-Arabi and more recently Birmingham).
Here is what he had to say concerning a few Tottenham players in an interview with the press:
“I have to be honest, I don’t like Verthongen very much. He has good feet which is important for a club like Tottenham since Pochettino likes the start the build-up play from the back.
I think that Alderweireld is Tottenham’s best defender at this moment in time. Dier? He wasn’t well positioned on Arsenal’s opening goal, he had to cover the play better.
He isn’t living a great moment but form is temporary. Even against Brazil he struggled a bit too. He seems very slow, I think he might be thinking too much….”.
