Zola joins Vieri: Napoli dazzler Kvaratskhelia really does play like George Best!

Napoli hero Gianfranco Zola admits he would struggle to get into this season's team.

Zola has been inducted into FIGC's Hall of Fame.

Asked if he'd get a game with today's Napoli, Zola remarked: "Good question, everyone would struggle to play in this Napoli. I would have had to work hard, but maybe a I would have found a little space.

"When I see they play I think 'wow', how wonderful. Their strength is not only in the individual, but as a team."

Speaking of individuals, Zola commented on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

"I didn't know Kvara, I have a very high opinion of him. He's a very technical player, but also a team player. He has a great personality and his has been a growing, he never stopped. He reminds me of George Best."

The same comparison was recently made by Zola's former Italy teammate Christian Vieri.
