Ziyech Playing In Different Positions Will Not Help Chelsea – Van Persie

Ex-Arsenal striker, Robin van Persie has come out to say that Tuchel should give Hakim Ziyech a bigger role at Chelsea. He recently revealed that the creativity of Ziyech, Pulisic and Kovacic are clearly not expressed enough at the club.

According to him, Kovacic is their engine and playmaker, but Ziyech also has these qualities up the pitch, so he deserves a bigger role for the Blues.

He added that Ziyech being played in different positions will not help the club or manager in any way.

His words, “It is actually a shame that the creativity of players like Ziyech, Pulisic and Kovacic – who I think is a brilliant player – is not being expressed.”

“Kovacic is their engine and playmaker. Ziyech also has those qualities higher up the pitch, but he should have a much bigger role in the team.”

“He is now constantly searching [for a place in the team], being played in all different positions.”

“But surely it can’t be that difficult to give such a creative player a good position, right?”

“You can also see it differently, first give Ziyech and Kovacic an important role and then let players like [N’Golo] Kante and other types work around them.”
