i agree with you that they were better players back then, which is one of the reason why i think people over hype zidane. he was never the best player in midfielder in serie a are best Juve player not even the best player in the league.

Veron
Del Piero
Ronaldo
Respectively

Same thing in la liga

i get the feeling the Dinho is consistently more brilliant that Zidane ad if he hasn't score those 3 goals he would be remember who is he today.

All of zidane greatness has come from month long Knock our Comps. but in the leagues never really did it for me and though those KO comp are great I think you consistency in a league format is much more Important

DesChamps and Henry were better than him is the WC and Euros has well.

but i'm not trying to change anyones mind this is just what i think

@ SteveOoO

at the very least they are equal

Zidane was better than Veron, Del Piero is a different player and less influential on a game, also was no where near as good after his injury, was even debatable to his status as WC after that. Zidane can control a game to a much greater degree than Ronaldinho (who I think is still the best player in the world at the moment).

Ronaldinho just does his thing in a more flashy way than Zidane did. I'm not saying Zidane didn't do his little tricks either (that RM v Utd game comes ot mind ), just Ronaldinho is more obvious with it.

you obviously didn't watch much Serie a because every one that did that i know off has said veron was the better Midfield that why he was Voted so two times in a row while Zidane was their and Rui Costa was better has well.

del Perio was better than Zidane before his injury

lets no turn this in another Player Vs Player debate.

Kaka won the World Cup in 2002 - He was an unused sub though.

i think people like the idea of kaka being better than ronaldinho...

the reality however is very different...

similar to teamspirit's idea that terry is an average defender because he doesn't meet his chosen requirements for a centre back... with again the reality being very different...

But that's the way Chelsea are set-up defensively . I honestly don't think he does anything extra special. Gallas & Carvalho when paired with Terry, always play higher up. Terry sits deepest of the lot. You call it excellent cover work, I call it standard defending. I rarely see teams being caught offside vs. Chelsea due to this.

Ferreira is just, well... He'd be Tottenham's 4th Choice Right-Back IMHO.
