He was once the best box to box midfielder in the World in his BVB pomp.
I’d now say he’s one of if not thee best midfielder arriving late in the box. He’s a fantastic midfield ‘General’. As stated by the op. He’s not Yaya, De Bruyne, Silva or Fernandinho but he’s an amalgamation of all of them.
He’s a complete midfielder and we are the better for it when he’s in the side. He also makes others much better.
Selfless player who will fill in for whoever needs him. If Zinchenko is playing, he’ll always be offering him the easy pass, playing a game that creates overloads on the left. Jenas highlighted such on MOTD last night.
Yet if it’s cancelo playing, he basically gets out if his way, allowing him the space to thrive.
Allows Bernardo the freedom of the pitch, allows De Bruyne to create without pressure of defensive work. Will run in behind to free up space for Foden.
He does all this, is such a selfless and intelligent player that he puts aside his own obvious talent to better the side.
