Iniesta for me, iv never enjoyed watching any player as much as him.
Zidane was at Juventus for 5 years. Xavi plays down Zidane comparison By app 24 March 2011 GRANADA - Spain midfielder Xavi played down a comparison with Zinedine Zidane on Thursday on the eve of his 100th appearance for his country. I personally do not rate xavi Hernandez. I'd rather watch Zidane. Iniesta was a better all round player with an over all better career. Ozil was the next highest with 20. I think it's fairly obvious that he would be considered a better player if he was not Danish.
Zidane for me, as special as Iniesta is/has been. In the 5 years before Zidane got there, they won 2 La Liga titles and 2 CLs. As I neutral, I much preferred Germany's football in the tournament. Iniesta was great, very consistent and bossed the midfield with Xavi since he was young but I'd put him alongside Scholes who Zidane was very complimentary about. The last three years, they did not win the title, though, and right after Zidane left, they immediately won twice in a row. Cavani signs for Manchester United on free transfer.

My favourite all time midfielder still remains Paul Scholes. Spain didn’t create 30 chances in the whole tournament, nevermind just Xavi... Well we were discussing individual performance in a tournament now we are talking about team trophies. But Iniesta was far more consistent in many kind of ways. From my Dad to my brothers, to my hubby. Pirlo was never, ever the best player in Serie A (. Xavi wan die? Though xavi is good too, but zizu is the best. And they immediately won La Liga twice in a row after he left. Xavi bawo? To me he was just a fortunate player to have the likes of iniesta, busquette (at his prime) by his side... And numerous quality upfront to score good and bad passes he made to them... I.e Messi, neymar, Henry, eto, Ibrahimovic, gudjonsen, Larson, sanchez, Pedro, etc, Zizzou any day,he has such ball control that even Messi n co will dream of,they dont belong in same strata,they only played same sports in different eras and massive accomplishments! Zidane is greater let look at it this way during the era of Zidane we had several extraordinary midfielders from several club side and countries brazil, argentina, brazil england etc including Nigeria own j j okocha; yet Zidane was able to stand out unlike the era of Xavi where the extra ordinary midfielders where fewer and most concentrated in just la liga. Next Post . I know it's hip to call tiki-taka boring, but they were just as effective as the Italian teams of old, and I don't recall anyone calling those teams toothless. By the same token, the stars of today are benefitting even more from increased media exposure, and from the management and pressure exerted by corporations that sponsor them. It’s an interesting debate for sure, Zidane was capable of doing things no other midfield player at the time could excecute so smoothly, and will go down in history as the more “special” player out of the two. 30 chances over 7 games is 4.28 chances per game, not as extreme as it sounds.

But do you know that if you have iniesta, pirlo, David Silva, Pogba, de bruyne in your team , and have 2 aiyegbeni up front, each of these midfielder might not have up to 6 assist a season... you can't blame zidane for his fowards not scoring the passes he made to them.
