Cardiff City manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes that Wilfred Zaha can become as good as world's best player, Cristiano Ronaldo.
"He is one of the best I have seen with the ball. He has quick feet and is brave like Cristiano and wants to go forward.
"But he has got to make a ¬decision about how good does he want to be and how much does he love this game. He can grow up to become a proper player like Ronaldo if he wants.
"I have never seen anyone work as hard as Ronaldo. Before training, after training, he was an exceptionally dedicated man and proved to everyone what ¬dedication gets you."
Zaha, on loan at Cardiff City, played a crucial role in the 2-1 victory against Norwich FC, setting up one of the goals.
Solskjaer, who was Ronaldo's teammate at Manchester United, was undisturbed by Zaha's flaccid play time despite the fifteen million pounds transfer fee.
Comparing him to Ronaldo, he wants the 21-year old to get more determined and focused, "I am not afraid of using Sir Alex Ferguson or Cristiano as an example when I have to because to get the best out of your talent you need to be dedicated.
"It's a desire and attitude from within. It's what you've got in your heart and Cristiano's always had it."
Zaha had a hand in both goals that secured the win for Cardiff,after coming on as a substitute in the game.
"Everyone needs to be loved. It's like with your kids. You love them but you also have to tell them straight. It's the same with players.
"He came on and made an impact, he lifted everyone and just wants to play football.
"That's something he will get loads of here. I'm really looking forward to working with him."
