Ernest Muçi is returning to one of the most talked-about names in Turkish football. His recent appearances in the Trabzonspor shirt have drawn the attention of local media, which increasingly praise the technical qualities and influence of the Albanian striker on the team’s play.
In fact, Turkish media outlet “61saat.com” has gone even further, comparing the playing style of the 25-year-old with that of French legend Zinedine Zidane.
According to the Turkish portal, Muçi’s movements on the pitch, the way he combines with his teammates and his elegance in controlling the ball recall the personality and distinctive style with which Zidane dominated football fields.
The Albanian made another important contribution in Trabzonspor’s 2-0 win over Alanyaspor. He came very close to a spectacular assist when, with the outside of his foot, he delivered an excellent pass for Mohamed Salah, but the latter failed to send the ball into the net, as he was stopped by the opposing goalkeeper.
Despite the wasted chance, Muçi put in a positive performance and stayed on the pitch until the 80th minute, being one of the players who contributed to the Turkish side’s success.
His good form in the league is also positive news for the Albanian national team. The striker is expected to be one of the red-and-black’s important alternatives for the next two matches in the UEFA Nations League.
