Former Crystal Palace forward Yannick Bolasie reckons that striker Wilfried Zaha has synonymous proficiency to play like champion Neymar as he enhanced himself and proved his skills.
“I think I would have taught him some things, to be honest, some little things he would have taken from my book. When I said, Wilfred has a Neymar kind of ability, people were like: ‘Nah, Nah, Nah,’ but then they started looking and saying: ‘Actually, he does ‘,” Bolasie told Palace’s official website.
He added that “Every season for me, he’s come out and proved he’s got better. Just in different types of ways. He’s setting up teammates, setting up people to score, he’s releasing passes quicker than I’ve seen him release passes before.”
The incredible duo’s skilful splashed provided headache to their opponent defenders at Selhurst Park.
Meanwhile, Bolasie shifted to Everton in 2016 with following ephemeral spells with Aston Villa and Anderlecht at Sporting Libson.
“I’m seeing an improvement in his whole game , he’s not just this dribbler that everyone thinks he is ; he can see a pass and a through ball,” Bolasie said.
“Since then [meeting] , we’ve had a close bond. I know his brothers,” he added.
