Man City Transfers: 5 Things You Need To Know About New Signing Bruno Zuculini

3. He Is Excellent In The Transitions

One factor that comes with being a goalscoring defensive midfielder is Zuculini's ability in the transitional phase of play. He is able to break up opposition attacks and begin his side's own descent on goal. The Argentina Under-20 international has become known for his ability to kickstart Racing attacks, and has become a prized asset since the Buenos Aires based club lost former club captain Claudio Yacob to West Brom. The youngster has proved more than capable of picking up the defensive mantle for his side, and has drawn comparisons to Barcelona's Sergio Busquets for keeping things simple and allowing other players to bomb forward when necessary. In City's new direction for the team, particularly in a possession based controlling game, Zuculini could be key, sitting in front of the defence and keeping the side ticking over. Pellegrini will no doubt have had a say in the signing of the youngster, and he will have seen already the part his fellow South American can play in his new setup of the team.
