He was, and he was worse than xavi, you dont really have a leg to stand on anymore saint. Xavi's done, and won, far more than zidane did.
I love Xavi but Zidane is one of the all time greats IMO
All time greats for what though? He didnt lead his team, very rarely dominated game. Was a big game player admitadly but was not that great in the vast majority.
Not ever did Zidane play CM... He at times played off the left but was nominally an attacking mid. Certainly not a CM.
Majority of the time he played in a four man midfield use your brains people.

xavi is not as good as zidane and zidane didnt play CM at all
You're comparing two different players Stretty.
Zidane is a CAM; no10;
Xavi is a CM; Regista; deep lying playmaker.

You might as well compare Xavi with Casillas
xavi is not as good as zidane and zidane didnt play CM at all

Agree with above posts he wasn't a CM, so if you have to compare approach this by dissecting each players abilities, zidanes skill, touch and finishing were superior to xavi, xavi has been world class no doubt though.
Pele was pverrated an all.
Zidane was capable of playing the role Xavi does, albeit not as good at it, but was predominantly an attacking midfielder.
I think it's fair to say that Xavi has shown a greater level of consistency when at his peak and achieved more in his career, but as a player does not possess the same footballing ability that Zizou did.
The thing with Zizou is that he was so skillfull and elegant on the ball that he would often look like he was playing better than he actually was when having a bad or average game. I level the same thing at Iniesta, who is incredible, but may have an ineffective game but look great due to his elegance on the ball.
Zidane>Iniesta>Xavi>Biscan
Zidane is the greatest player of all time.
Zidane had more flair and was better to watch.
Xavi is more effective, and is more important to his team.

zidane was overrated
ronaldos > zidane
Pathetic article. Zidane is better than any Spanish player.
