Robson: Zubimendi almost never passes directly, his athletic ability is not as good as Jorginho

July 7: Former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson was interviewed by the media and commented on Gunners' new aid Zubimendi.

Robson said: "He lacks vitality on the court. His on-court responsibility is to control the rhythm. He has strong ball control ability. But I have commented on La Liga games. I often joke about the number of times he passes forward."

"He almost never passes forward. I have never seen him send threatening passes or assists. He is just responsible for sorting out."

"There are many players who can complete this task. What you want to introduce for a high price should be A player who can push the offense. "

"He is not as athletic as Jorginho, and he is not as good as Rodri on the defensive end. In my opinion, if you are a defensive midfielder, even if you have great ball control skills, you must have excellent athleticism."

"You have to cover midfielders and full-backs who plug in the offense, and sometimes you may also need to retreat to the backline, and I don't think he has this ability."
