Botafogo's coach praises Ziyech's skills.

Tite, the coach of Brazilian football club Botafogo, expressed his admiration for the technical talents of Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech, noting that his ability to play in multiple attacking positions provides the team with various tactical options, especially in playmaking.

The Brazilian coach stated in remarks to local media that Ziyech possesses the necessary skills to play as a playmaker, known as the number 10 position, thanks to his ability to move between lines and exploit spaces, in addition to his potential to be utilized on the wings.

Tite revealed that the Moroccan player has received more playing time than initially expected due to the team's need for his technical characteristics, explaining that his multiple attacking roles give the coaching staff greater flexibility in selecting the lineup and distributing tasks on the field.

The Botafogo coach discussed the competition for the playmaker position, clarifying that Medina is capable of fulfilling this role, although his style differs from Ziyech's, while Montoro was among the available options before an ankle injury affected his participation with the team.

Tite also pointed out that Danilo Pereira tends to advance the ball vertically and connect play with the forwards, which distinguishes his roles from the traditional tasks of a playmaker, making Ziyech one of the options available to diversify attacking solutions.

The Brazilian coach's praise comes after Ziyech's appearance in his first two matches with Botafogo, where his performance received positive reactions from the fans, who expressed their admiration for the level he showcased as a Moroccan international.
