Joshua Zirkzee, a 25-year-old player for Manchester United, has played against Servië for Oranje, his eighth international match. He scored the winning goal in the second half, assisted by Tijjani Reijnders, and this was his second goal for the Dutch national team.
ESPN analyst Hans Kraay junior believes that Zirkzee's playing style is more suited to fine football, where he can showcase his skills without the pressure of scoring. Kraay thinks that Zirkzee is not as driven to score as Ruud van Nistelrooij, who is known for his goal-scoring mentality.
Ruud van Nistelrooij, also an analyst for ESPN, hopes to instil a killer mentality in Zirkzee, which would make him a top-class striker. Kraay thinks that if Van Nistelrooij can achieve this, Zirkzee will become a truly great striker.
