The Former Arsenal forward who moved to Manchester United in 2012 is well known for scoring volleys during his spell in the Premier League.
According to Wilfried Zaha, Robin van Persie had an incredible chest control. The Crystal Palace star added that van Persie could carry the ball on his chest because of his ‘curved’ body figure.
If your recall that Sir Alex Ferguson signed Zaha in January 2013 but the winger was loaned back to Crystal Palace.
During a chat on Ferdinand’s official YouTube channel, Zaha said:
'It’s different when you see them in person, how good De Gea is, how good Van Persie is.
‘You wouldn’t even know this unless you see it for yourself, his chest is curved in in a way [laughs] – you know what I’m talking about! – it’s curved in in a way where it allows him to… if he wanted to carry a ball on his chest he could.'
Robin Persie played three years spell at Old Trafford playing 86 games and scored 48 times.
Zaha added: ‘See when he gets that ball and chests it or volleys it… when you see his frame it makes sense.
‘It’s how good he is technically. We played two-vs-twos where it was me and Nani against him and [Marouane] Fellaini and that’s when I saw that he’s actually got mad feet.I appreciated every moment there.’
He made two appearances for Manchester United from 2013 to 2015 until he joined Palace permanently in 2015.
