Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - Arne Slot is a Bald Fraud

[Ukbrotha]

Prime Zidane was inconsistent, putting up Willian numbers and finishing 7th.

3 measly league titles playing for two super teams


He turned up for a couple summer tournaments but............................so did Iniesta
Btw, Iniesta tekk actually looks better if we're being honest














Is Zidane even that much better than KDB? Let's talk.

Pretty sure Zizou had better numbers than Iniesta. I'm not sure what you mean by iniesta has better Tek?

Sell it to me.

Interested in the reasons for the Assisting the Assister champ.

Both class players and to each his own but imo one of the most class players ever. His vision is otherworldly, was the 2nd best player on the world's best team even at the age of like 35 and was the driving force with Xavi for what was prolly one of the best club sides ever assembled (imo he was the main source of the creativity in that midfield ahead of xavi). Has won everything there is to win on for both club and country, CL, League, Euros, even scored the winning goal in a world cup final. I know zidane has accolades with club and country as well and also a balon d'or but imo Don Andres was more enjoyable to watch and just looks so much more fluent and elegant on the ball Like he flows on water. That alongside his longevity probably puts him ahead of zidane for me, Zidane was kinda before my time and I was a little kid when he was balling but I know Iniesta was voted best player of the euros 2012 but imo people dont bring up his playing in that euros enough. What a performance

Scholes >> Iniesta

Sorry breh, you can't be in these conversations if the most prestigious individual award you have ever won is the Jimmy Murphy young player of season (92-93).

No ballon d'or shouts no PFA or Football Writer awards

Zidane has 5 or 6 decent clips that have been doing the rounds for 20 years.

You can find 50 hours of Iniesta footage right now in 4k that shyt all over Zidane's career.

Not his fault he was handicapped by having to play for England

And lets not forget the fact that he was asthmatic before that was an advantage

Well there was barely HD when Zizou played.

If you're telling me iniesta has a better highlight reel than Zizou I'm sorry. I'm not buying that at all. Zizou was the ultimate highlight package player.

Honestly, Stig Tovting >>>>> Zidane

Zizou not a flashy player at all his youtube highlights are weak asl, leading the league in pirouettes dont mean youre a flashy player dkm

Iniesta >> Zidane

Zidane was a 10 though
Iniesta was an 8

I'll be honest, I'll take Iniesta too. His ball control is even better and didn't lose the ball alot. I feel like the midfield is much more safer with him. Zidane lost the ball always trying to get his Bruno on. I think a Iniesta and Vieira midfield is just as formidable and probably beats Italy in that finals

Scorch wylin for that Debruyne comparison though

They do have similar international career highlights. Both scored in World Cup finals, and been the best player of the Euros. Played in 3 major finals, both got bad hairlines. Usually did turn up in big games/when their teams needed them most.


Prefer Iniesta's Danish father myself.

It's only nostalgia that has Zidane ahead, breh. Iniesta was simply better.

I told a brudda at work once Lampard was a more productive player than Zidane and that had half the office wanting to throw hands



Wait till I tell them he's actually a better manager too

Swear to god cant believe these opinions on iniesta... maradona never played a champions league final, let me guess don andres is better...
