During a recent interview, Cesc Fabregas made an in-depth analysis about Hakim Ziyech style of play and made a bold prediction for his club.
In recent days, Hakim Ziyech was compared to Cesc Fabregas due to his passing skills. But the Moroccan player has way more speed than the Catalan midfielder and that makes him more like Eden Hazard than any other player. After a few months of him playing with the blue kit, it’s evident he is one of the most important transfers Chelsea made last summer.
We already knew the type of talent he had from watching him at AFC Ajax, but coming to the Premier League will exponentially help him improve. Cesc Fabregas is usually spot on with his analysis of any player he likes to follow. As a former Chelsea player who won some important trophies there, he obviously has some interesting points about Ziyech. The AS Monaco star is convinced this player has what it takes to bring Chelsea to the highest level of competition.
Fabregas’ prediction about Ziyech.
During an interview with 90min, Fabregas said this about Hakim Ziyech: “He’s a very good player. He has this vision that you need in a top team like Chelsea, who wants to win and be champions. You could see that they were lacking ideas last season and maybe at the beginning of this season, but with Ziyech, you can see that he has this last pass.
“It’s not only that he sees it, it’s that he makes it right, at the right time. That’s the decision-making that we talk about nowadays. Why are coaches so tactical? Because they see the decision making of the players is not that good, so they always need to teach them what to do. Before, I believe that coaches were not as on top of the players as they are now, they felt that maybe there was not as much need because the players already saw it themselves, but I believe that Ziyech is one of these players.
“He makes things happen, things that the defenders don’t expect. They don’t expect the pass, you catch them sleeping and you have someone like Timo Werner making great runs in behind. I think this is where Chelsea could be so powerful this year.”
