Zidane also made lots more careless mistakes on simple plays than Xavi, was less good at constantly maneuvering to put himself into wide open space to receive a pass, and had a notably lower defensive work rate. And naturally he would make less mistakes by doing this (assuming he was prone to make mistakes, which I don't think is true)... Now perhaps he tended to lose the ball more often than Xavi, but I think it had more to do with his "go-forward" and thus more risky approach than to do with an inherently inferior ball-retention ability. Joe Cole/Ballack was Chelsea's main attacking midfielder, and now its Remires. That makes me a "Zidane … I don't get all your "foot dexterity" argument to be honest. So Zidane was the perfect player, and every possible argument against Zidane actually is the result of the weaknesses of Zidane's teammates?? It also depends on the quality of opposition. Zidane was the best in his days and Xavi is his best form in his days. He was comfortable on the ball. Xavi on the other hand was pretty average until 2008. So Bergkamp also isn't a better passer than Zidane, but rather Bergkamp was just lucky enough to play on the same club as Henry for many years. Agree to disagree then. Zidane weaker foot was more powerful than Xavi's strongest foot! He was playing for team who failed to make WC knock out stages without him. So is Xavi. The same is true for Bergkamp at Inter by the way (and quite clearly at that). He can still play a 90 mins per game. I tend to believe that Zidane would have been damn effective in Barca's possession game. Messi scored the first PK, which tends to be almost as important as the last one.
For example against the great AC Milan defense (that conceded 15 goals), as noticed by pundits as Liam Brady who noticed many good and productive passes in the matches. The question of who is better, then, comes down to who was more effective when they were both in their preferred system. He 'invited' pressure, but that was deliberately, not because he couldn't do otherwise. xavi is better than zidane. Zidane played for a Juventus that competed with no less than 5 other major power houses in the 90s. And European and non-Barca players get hyped up. That's why I don't think a 0.3 apg when playing for Barca is significantly better than a 0.2 apg when playing for -let's say- late 90's Juve. So I would go with Zidane. I have seen him play a lot, especially in champions league and the national team, and he never seemed a world class player. I don't know how Scholes got into this but here goes Zidane> Scholes> Xavi Xavi is a Great playmaker possibly the best. Just pathetic. Zidane scored 2 headers in a WC final. And which would ultimately prove that talent is largely just a myth?? A lot of stubborn fans want to elevate Zidane into Maradona/Cruijff level, and to me such claims are simply laughable. Therefore it makes sense that the difficulty of a pass completely determines a player's pass completion percentage (Rosenfeld, 2011). Or perhaps Laudrup is an anomaly of sorts. I think that does it more so than enhancing the ability to control or a trap a ball, for example. (a better comparison is zidane and iniesta since not only are their resumes similar but stylistically they are the same type of player, and they even have similar epic moment achievements) A little too harsh. Easy choice, Xavi. Discussion in 'The Beautiful Game' started by lessthanjake, Jun 19, 2015. Stalwart GOP senator says he's quitting politics, Dem sweep could be good for economy: Goldman Sachs, Mockery galore after Trump's 'don’t be afraid' tweet, CDC makes fundamental change to virus guidelines, Belichick finally runs out of patience with backup QB, Trump resisted Pence as VP pick, ex-aide says, McDonald's is launching a new celebrity meal, GOP senator criticizes Trump: 'He let his guard down'. Thus he might or might not have noticed that Henry was about to get into a great position.
If Zidane was better than Iniesta, it was by an extremely small margin. Zidane's propension for playing an aggressive, "go forward" football doesn't mean he was not able to play in a more conservative way. Is that your point? Arsenal at the time) practice, rehearse and finetune those Pires-Henry interchanges. LMFAOOOOOOO, last time I check Lampard,CM, is one of the top three leading goalscores in Chelsea's history,no? For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/axYf3. And why are you English even mentioning Scholes? The Henry non-pass is where I think Zidane is already lining up to take that shot, which he then ends up taking and missing. What a pathetic mode of discussion this is. He single-handedly led his country to a 2 WC and Euro finals.
Xavi is a great player, but their have been many like him. Got it now, thanks. A lot of fans believe Xavi with his better scoring stats and club honours with Barcelona was the better player while some beleive Zidane surpassed Xavi in every department of football mastery. What a pathetic mode of discussion/poster you are. He's one of the most skillful player in football history. Xavi has had a very very very average header but Zidane could head the ball very well. Comparing them is hard even with the statistics we can take.
Also Zidane was a better free kick taker too. Still have questions? I find it pretty strange that Xavi is scoring way more goals in his late 20s than he was in his early 20s... Every player can control a ball? ZIDANE has never ever failed to perform against big teams but xavi, midget, was sh1t untill Pep Guardiola became the head coach of Barcelona.... Edit: @ New Anti-Pep: CM are not suppose to score? So I think we can be equally certain that Zidane would not be as good in a tiki-taka team as Xavi.
In short I think that (indirectly) facilitates the ease and possibilities to make 'sick assists' (to an off-the-shoulder runner), within a sport that is a balance between two opponents. And, as I have been showing throughout this thread, the answer to that is Xavi. I got that much but I couldn't connect it to the discussion relating to Zidane's throughball ability. Did you not se Zidane dominate Spain in the World Cup?
We are comparing Iniesta and Xavi with one player, Zidane. This is based on very fragile evidences. Get your answers by asking now.
