Some of Cala’s touches were just amazing. And his positioning is so good. He really is a cultured, intelligent player. He has Zinchenko’s talent with getting forward into inside channels to squeeze the opposition, but without the defensive frailties.
It was his attitude I loved. If his first touch was off he kept going and made up format in his second touch. His work rate was incredible. He realised on one corner that there were two Southampton defenders in him. So he moved away from the goal and the two defenders followed him out of the 6 yard box to the edge of the penalty box freeing up so much space.
That level of intelligence can only helps us
