90 - Icon
I packed this Zola in an SBC and was happy that I got a midfielder. At first look his shooting, passing and dribbling stats were all very promising and I couldn't wait to try him out. Unfortunately this version of Zola has two major faults which really make him average- possession and stamina. He responds very well when moving around the pitch and makes nice cuts, but he cannot seem to hold onto the ball enough due to his lower strength and it is very evident. His stamina is also a major issue as you can't keep him out there past the 60th minute or else his ability will really fall off. His physicality stats just bring down this version of Zola way too much for me to recommend he be used as a starter.
-Consistently effective pace and quickness with a pace boosting chemistry
-Passing is spot on
-Fluid and not clunky at all
-Loses the ball a lot when challenged due to weak strength
-Poor stamina makes him unusable after 60'
