“I like Santiago Castro a lot. He is truly a great talent. I have followed him carefully in these first few days and he has made an excellent impression on me. He has very important qualities and is only born in 2004. Ergo he still has great room for improvement The Argentine is replacing Zirkzee well and can contribute to keeping Bologna high.” To underline this, in the interview with Tuttosportis who made the club’s history, that is Beppe Savoldi (299 appearances and 130 goals in the Bolognese shirt)
Speaking of comparisons, for Savoldi the current Bologna striker’s characteristics are Lautaro Martinez: “He fights and knows how to move on the entire offensive front, he is already on the right track to follow in his footsteps.”
Did you expect all these difficulties for Zirkzee at United?
“Manchester is a great place: beautiful but complicated and in recent years many good players have struggled there. Everyone would like to play in a club like that. It’s not easy to establish yourself straight away: he needs to be given time, but his talent is not in question Zirkzee remains a great player who must be waited for, even if there has been little patience in England lately.”
