The Viola reacted this summer by offloading the latter pair and buying M’Bala Nzola and Lucas Beltrán. For now, though, I’d like to focus on Nzola, because it’s very strange that he’s struggled as much as he has. M'Bala Nzola was able to score 13 goals last season for Spezia receiving passes from Mehdi Bourabia.. My aim was to see what ways Nzola usually contributes to goals. More than that, though, he’s pretty good at controlling a long thump over everyone’s heads, holding off a defender, and then either scoring himself or setting up a teammate.
