How He Played

This was because they looked a bit similar, played in a similar position, worked very hard, and both came from Eastern Europe. UEFA's Champions magazine even called him a "traditional winger" because he would often run down the sides of the field to get close to the goal and then cross the ball into the box for his teammates.
