Zola: former Chelsea star slams Juventus and Real Madrid over Morata

29 set 2017

Former Chelsea star Gianfranco Zola talked to Sky Sport about the current form of his ex club praising their star striker Alvaro Morata. The Spaniard has seven goals and two assists in eight game in all competitions so far this season and, as of today, he has definitely justified his price-tag in South West London.

“Morata is very good but at the moment he is not as good as Diego Costa”, Zola said.

“They are still not at the same level but we are talking about a top class striker with great technical skills.”

“He is also good in aerial play and very good with the ball at his feet. I’d like to know why he wasn’t a regular starter at Juventus and Real Madrid, I think we’ll have a definitive answer at the end of the season.”

Morata was not a regular starter at Real Madrid last season and that’s the main reason why the Spaniard left the Bernabeu. Morata spent two years at Juventus and although he was a regular starter in his first season in Turin, Max Allegri usually picked up the likes of Paulo Dybala and Mario Mandzukic in the second campaign of Morata with the bianconeri.
