Just watched tonight's Racing match visiting Atlético de Rafaela, a mid-table team to Racing's bottom-scraping table position. BZ played the entire match, a 2-2 draw - all goals scored after HT. He played the first 60 mins as an offensively positioned MF'er running box2box up the spine of the field - a totally different role than I saw him play a few games ago when he rarely crossed half line. Occasionally he even found himself bearing the striker's responsibilities both ways, adjusting as team movement dictated. He ran like a dog, always making himself available and showed incredible spacing discipline in the face of pell-mell action all around him. The last 30 mins he dropped back in front of the central defenders though. His last 10 mins rarely getting above a light jog as he was muy muy gassed.

This was a much more encouraging performance than last I watched him. He sacrificed himself so much for the team, staying strong mentally while rarely being rewarded with the ball for all his dogged running and disciplined movement. On the sparse occasions his idiot teammates shared the ball he showed a fine soft touch, quick vision and quality passing weight of all lengths. His dangerous ball up the right channel is what initiated the scoring move that won his lousy effing team the late draw. I sincerely hope for this kid's sake that the rumors are true and he's headed to City, because he deserves soooo much better than the quality of soccer and quality of appreciation he experiences on that crap team and in that crap league. He may not set the world on fire but he has admirable qualities that deserve exploring.

This is the latest match, Racing vs Atletico de Rafela

Re: Bruno Zuculini

Not too excited about this one if people are saying he may go out on loan. What is he, 21? Oscar came straight from south american football and was an instant stater for Chelsea because he is that good.

I think you need to mature as a player to be able to play the holding midfield role that City adopt. Look at Yaya, he's 30 and still adding new layers to his game, so I don't think 21 is particularly old for that position.

Yep, attacking players usually nail down a starting XI place at a younger age.
