Where MoH first saw him: - I guess the Under-21 championship (I was more interested with Tiberiu Ghioane back then) but lets ignore that and the first time I had a good look at him was the game against Parma where Adriano scored that wicked free-kick? After the match finished Zicu went up and started talking with Capitano and Toldone.
MoH’s prediction of Zicu’s upcoming season: - Mancini knows (Oh, I really hope so!!) this kid is beyond his years; don’t be surprised if he starts a few games of the bench and then…BOOM
Has the potential to be the next: - Gheorge Hagi (LOL, well that’s what they told me? I personally think he could be the next Pavel Nedved?)
Did you know: - Both he and Chivu played together in the Under-21 team, at that time the Romanian national team were considered very weak in defense and lethal upfront…who do you think was covering the defensive duty and who was showing the flare upfront?
MoH’s annoying FAQ: -
Q: Why a Zicu topic? You could have waster your time on something more interesting…Like <enter name of your favorite football player>?

Q: Zicu? A Talent? What are your sources Mr. Smarty pants?
A: Word of mouth, everyone knows about it, but hardly anyone does it well. It pays to visit a few websites as well.
