And Zola told TMW: "He knows how to light things up. He's physically strong and strong in one-on-one situations, and he's quick with his shots: an excellent example for our youth teams.

"This is a theme that underpins the work we do with Serie C clubs: the movement must enhance the skill and creativity of young local players and draw inspiration from plays like Kenan's."

Zola added, "Napoli and Juve have started strong. Milan are finding their feet, and Roma and Inter will find their way. The uncertainty is a good sign; it energizes and gives character to the tournament. Any surprises? I liked Cremonese and Como: I know Fabregas, and he has all the right stuff to do well."
