Get acquainted, Hakeem Ziyekh – the leader and the Dutch "Tvente's" who has got stuck in the marsh bog of the lower part of standings ex-captain. 10 heads and 5 goal passes – such is statistics of the football player following the results of 17 meetings of the first circle. And in total "Tvente" hammered 18 times. That is, in fact, Ziyekh alone "drags" champions of Holland-2010.
the Moroccan a sort from the small 27-thousand town Dronten in the province Flevoland where his parents emigrated. The puny fellow above all liked to drive a ball with friends. Parents did not begin to interfere with little Hakeem's hobby and sent it to local football school. There it was noticed by "Herenven's" scouts from the city of the same name that in the neighboring province. By the way, "Herenven" has one of the best academies in the country. It left or any time Huntelaar, van Nistelrooy, Yanmat, Shyone and some more known football players were trained in it.
Already since Ziyekh's childhood were distinguished by the high speed, dribbling and good vision of a field. In academy, and then and in "Herenven's" youth team, Hakeem began to play tens position in classical Dutch arrangement 4-3-3. Having perfectly proved in a double, Ziyekh attracted attention trainers of the national team of Holland to 20, and also Marko van Basten heading then the main Herenvena team.
But the first season in structure "Superfrizov" turned out the weakest. Ziyekh held only 3 games for the first team, and though continued to hammer for a youth team, his future seemed in doubt. To Hakeem 20 years knocked, and in Holland often players to this age already become the created football persons for whom solid European clubs hunt.
However the next season of 13/14 everything placed p in places. Hakeem's enormous potential at last became visible to all around. Ziyekh already in the second round opened the account to the balls for "Herenven", having afflicted "Breda". In total in that season the Moroccan hammered 9 balls and gave 10 goal passes that made it not only the best goal-scorer of team, but also the best player of a season according to "Herenven's" fans. Such speed meant that in the summer on the player there will be an increased demand. And it is valid, offers was much." Ajax" and "Feyenoord" were quite persistent, but Ziyekh decided to choose from all options "Tvente" finishing with bronze medals.
to
As were told by Hakeem, his decision was affected by ambitions of the president of team, and also acquaintance to the head coach Alfred Schröder. The amount of transaction made 3,5 million euros.
of "People think that I arrived silly, not vyzbrav club which offers the best salary. But I made by em the choice and that others think, me does not interest... And in "Tventa", I feel comfortable, and this project corresponds to my ambitions..."
Eh, would be known by Ziyekh that waits for it new club literally in half a year!
Hakeem quickly fitted into team and started stamping straight away goals and to distribute goal passes. Speed, fine equipment, masterful penalties, desire to play on the partner, ideal transfers – Ziyekh turned into a cool pleymeyker. In the middle of a season it became known of "Tvente's" financial problems. The club was punished by a penalty in six points, and the president Myunsterman left the post. It became known that in the summer the club will arrange sale and will get rid of all the leaders. Unpleasant financial news did not influence in any way Ziyekh's game. And though in interview to the Dutch mass media he said that "is extremely disappointed with current situation" and "probably, me simply deceived", in the field he was still only is good. As a result by the season end 22-year-old Hakeem became the best raspasovshchik of the championship, and also the third on gol%2vpas system (13%2B16).
Ziyekh in a season 14/15:
Practically anybody had no doubts that Ziyekh will leave sinking "Tvente" in summer inter-season period. To the Moroccan actively "drove" eminent European clubs. The greatest activity was shown by "Wolfsburg", and a transfer it seems as was already predetermined, but at the last minute Ziyekh decided to remain to help team and to the head coach Alfred Schröder to cope with crisis. It is possible to tell that it remained the only thing from leaders of last season. Before season start the Moroccan received a captain's bandage.
It was interesting to p by
as Hakeem will be able to prove in much more weak team which became "Tvente" after summer sale. To sceptics if those also were, Ziyekh outdid very quickly. The captain "Tvente", having received in partners of players in two, and even is three times weaker, than last year, took part practically in all) goals of the team. 10 heads and 5 goal passes – such is Ziyekh's statistics to a winter break.
Meanwhile "Tvente" continues to slide in a hole. In November the club shook the new financial scandal connected with frauds at transfers of players. As a result "Tvente" for three years was deprived by the rights of participation in Euro cups, and also conditionally deprived of the license.
dismissed Still earlier from a post of the head coach Alfred Schröder that very much it was not pleasant to Hakeem:" It is simple madness! The management does everything to disorganize team". And it is valid, without Schröder "Tvente" began to play only worse, having rolled away already on a penultimate place in the table.
Ziyekh very easy and fast player with fine dribbling, he is not afraid to take a ball and it is simple to drag forward, having beaten on the way of some rivals. Hakeem the lefthander, but not bad owns also the right foot. Such football player and on condition of high quality partners in team, is simply obliged to grow up in a world star. Amazingly, but the price tag on Ziyekh in two years grew from 200 thousand already to 8 million euros! Also it is the player of the club taking the 17th place in Erediviziye!
the Only thing that else Ziyekh needs – to acquire "meat" a little. Sometimes too easily rivals win single combats. Now Hakeem with a height of 180 cm weighs less than 70 kg.
Should tell
that the guy possesses quite obstinate character. Hakeem attracted in various youth Dutch national teams, and in May, 2015 Guus Hiddink for the first time caused it in the main team. However Ziyekh did not manage to debut in shape "orange" because of traumatized, and on September matches already Danny Blind ignored the halfback. It very much afflicted and enraged Ziyekh, and he decided to accept the invitation of the head coach of the national team of Morocco to Bud Zaki, having debuted for North Africans on October 9 in friendly game with Côte d'Ivoire. So Dutches needed to be whipping the cat only.
Well and at the beginning of January Ziyekh gave to p resonant interview to the Dutch mass media in which scarified the partners in team, the management of club and declared the desire as soon as possible to leave. Reaction followed immediately – Hakeem deprived of a captain's bandage, and the head coach Rene Haque told that "is very disappointed that Ziyekh stated all this behind the back". However, in "Tvente's" guide fools sit not and understand: without Hakeem the team, most likely, will not be able to gather points at all. For this reason the Moroccan did not discharge of trainings, moreover, later Rene Haque declared that counts on Ziyekh, on his professionalism and that that remains in club till summer.
Hakeem while thinks, but conversations on interest of various European clubs to the person of the Moroccan arise constantly. Hearings about Dortmund "Borussia", "Liverpool" …

However, Ziyekh – excellent strengthening practically for any team. It is sure that it perfectly would look and in our Russian clubs. For example, in "Spartak". Such lethal svyazochka Ziyekh – Promes would turn out!
Behind only half of January, and, so half of a transfer window still ahead. Where there will be to foresee Hakeem Ziyekh by February difficult but while we still can enjoy its game within the Dutch Erediviziye.
