I ask this because players like Xavi and Iniesta, who are clearly superiot to Cristiano are always overlooked. It seems like the goal scoring statistic is what we use to judge players now. How do you think the legendary midfielder would have faired?

Seeing as how Zidane played under the strict principles of thy Lord, Johan Cruijff, I believe he would have won a Ballon D'Or. He's able to implement the Cruijffian principles in his game better than Cristiano Ronaldo, but I do not think that Zidane would be able to overtake Lionel Messi. Remember, Lionel Messi has been greatly influenced by Johan Cruijff and although he is not skilled enough to be named alongside thy Lord, he has the ability to shine his boots. I think that with strict teaching by Louis van Gaal who managed one of the greatest teams in football history with the greatest players Nwankwo Kanu, Finidi George, and Jari Litmanen - as well as tutoring from Marinus Jacobus Hendricus Michels, the greatest coach in football history, he can play very well in this current football climate.

zidane should've won 3 ballon d'ors .

1998 , 2000 , 2002

the only reason he didn't get in 2000 was for disciplinary reasons .

It's a shame football fans prefer underwhelming players such as Cristiano over football purists such as Iniesta and Xavi who not only is more skilled on the ball than Ronaldo, but has a superior understanding of it aswell. Sadly, fans of our dying sport forgot what makes our game so beautiful... Thus I can't see Zizou or other great talented football purists beat the goal scorers. Sad

Fabio Cannavaro may not have been the best player in the world, the best defender of all time, etc. etc., but what he did that year and particularly during the world cup made him the most accomplished, the most phenomenal. Saying even Milner has a shot just because Cannavaro got the ballon d'or is disgusting

The sheer lack of appreciation for Cannavaro is disgusting here.

No he never done that well at Madrid, the man was a WC defender ffs. Comparing him in terms of ability to Milner :facepalm:


Might as well compare Figo to Negredo ffs.

:facepalm: I can tell you started watching football shortly after 2006. Fabio Cannavaro was a total beast of a defender for the most of his career and was at an absolute peak in 2006. In case you all don't know Cannavaro relied on great marking ability, which meant he was great athletically. After 2006 his age started to show and started to fade out; natural for most dominant defenders who rely mostly on their ability to mark. The only people who I've ever heard talk bad about Fabio are the ones who don't know much about football. Top strikers from that decade are always asked who are the best defenders they have come across and Fabio Cannavaro is always mentioned. so you're dumb.

Hmm...

So did Iniesta hide behind Messi in Euro 2012 and World cup 2010?
Did Xavi hide behind Messi in WC 2010, Euro 2008 and Euro 2012
Did Xavi hide behind Messi in The treble winning season?

Please stop makig false statements. Messi is better than Zidane ever was. Zidane isn't much better than Xavi and Iniesta. I feel that Ronaldo would still eclipse him, even though Zidane was a much better footballer.

He wouldn't but who cares. No one thinks Titanic is a better movie than The Godfather just because Titanic has 11 Academy Awards and The Godfather has 0 (except women and gaylords - astonishing similarity to CR7 fans btw. :coffee:). Likewise no one thinks Michael Owen at any point of his career has been a better footballer than Xavi, Iniesta, Pirlo, Henry and the gazillion other footballing greats who have not received a Ballon d'Or.

Doesn't make sense at all. Godfather and Titanic both won 1 Ballon d'Or of movies, the best picture.

Also Once Upon A Time In America was originally released heavily cut shitfest, 1.5 hours less, than the current widely acclaimed version.

Dat logic. Laughing

Much better analogy would be example three time (the most) best actor winner Daniel Day-Lewis, against any other actor.
