Don't think I've seen a better all round attacking player. EVER. Ronaldo in his prime, maybe. Diego and Pele, Best etc were before my time.
Ronaldinho my arse.

Zidane is the greatest all round player of the past 15 years for me - wonderful to watch.James Philip Milner Fanclub #1

Zidane was a footballing genius but Messi, with his pace and acceleration will (touch wood) go on to be even better

Zidane might not have had electric pace but he could shift - and once running was pretty fast!
I agree though that Messi is pretty special.James Philip Milner Fanclub #1

Aye I might be a little over exaggerating at the minute as I have watched 2 barca games in a week where Messi has been absolutely ****ing amazing scoring 4 goals in the process and running riot!
I'm sure if I had Mr. Zidane at his best on Youtube here, I might hold back a bit!Comment

Mr Zidane was deceptively quick, especially for a guy with his frame.Originally posted by Nic83 View PostI did say "all-rounder". MR. Zidane was lacking in the pace department

I suppose most people will remember him for his last world cup as opposed to him in his pomp when playing for Juve/Early Madrid days.We come not to play.Comment

Very true, I'm just having flashbacks of those runs he used to go on with the stepovers. He was actually pretty quick.
Rivaldo is most definitely another in the same mould and up there with the best of them. (in his prime) Used to love watching the Brazil team with Ronaldo and Rivaldo, and Cafu and RC tearing down the flanks.

Zidane and Ribery distroyed Brazil in the last world cup. I remember watching wishing he wasn't going to retireI think it's a foul, and if the ref gives it. He got to give a penalty. I know it's outside the box, but you see them given that close to the area. So if the ref gives it he's got to give the penalty as it so close to the area. But I think it's a penalty.

Personally wouldn't put Rivaldo in the Zidane (or Messi) bracket - he was VERY good but not special.James Philip Milner Fanclub #1

ZZ scored two headed goals in the WC final.
What has Messi won?

Zidane was quite quick actually. He was a loper though, so it appeared that he wasn't that quick. But he would cover the ground quite quickly.Originally posted by Nic83 View PostI did say "all-rounder". MR. Zidane was lacking in the pace department
