Style of play

Regarded as one of the best Italian goalkeepers of his generation, [2] Zinetti was an athletic and reliable shot-stopper, who was known for his efficient rather than spectacular playing style, as well as his handling, his speed when rushing off his line, and his ability to come out and claim crosses.
