Zinedine Zidane
|
|
I defy you to watch this montage and not declare that he was the greatest footballer ever?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYrWxb7UMVo&list=LLPngiBpHuw6euE2_1w6J6OA&index=144
Did have any weakness, not that I could see, he could score with either foot, he was a lethal header of the ball, his dribbling skills were unsurpassed, yes not even Messi in my book can compare, if I was being churlish, his only weakness was his temper?

Scholes is arguably the best player England have ever had (after Bobby Moore). He was pretty much unplayable for a decade in that midfield role. So of course it made perfect sense to play him on the left for his country.
As for Zidane? I always though him overrated but never really watched him that much and hate the French so a bit clouded in judgement. When I watch clips nowadays I do sit and think how the fuck did he do that.

The worst crime in English football history is not building the side around Scholes. He got lunched out on the left win, while we persisted with Gerrard and Lampard in a combination that was never going to work. We wasted the best midfielder England has ever produced, it's no wonder he fucked it off for Shoot-on-site Frank, the MBE CUNT.

Paul Scholes was ginger and the name sounds like a foot ailment.

Miike, all those quotes are on one website mate.

If you don't know how good Paul Scholes was, you genuinely know fuck all about football.
As for Smalling, that was more because I said he was a good centre half ages ago and got absolute pelters, I notice now that everyone is bigging him up. Another WIN for me.

"If he was playing with me, I would have scored so many more."
- Pele
"My toughest opponent? Scholes of Manchester. He is the complete midfielder."
- Zinedine Zidane
"I’m star-struck when I see Paul Scholes because you never see him. On the pitch you can’t catch him. Off the pitch he disappears."
- Luis Figo
"I’m not the best, Paul Scholes is."
- Edgar Davids
"In the last 15 to 20 years the best central midfielder that I have seen – the most complete – is Scholes. I have spoken with Xabi Alonso about this many times. Scholes is a spectacular player who has everything. He can play the final pass, he can score, he is strong, he never gets knocked off the ball and he doesn’t give possession away. If he had been Spanish then maybe he would have been valued more."
- Xavi
"The player in the Premiership I admire most? Easy – Scholes."
- Patrick Viera
"An amazingly gifted player who remained an unaffected human being."
- Roy Keane
"I tell anyone who asks me – Scholes is the best English player."
- Laurent Blanc
"I can’t understand why Scholes has never won the player of the year award. He should have won it long ago. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t seek the limelight like some of the other ‘stars’."
- Thierry Henry
"Paul Scholes had the best football brain I’d ever seen in a kid. Let’s face it. Paul Scholes is in a class of his own."
- Brian Kidd
"Paul Scholes would have been one of my first choices for putting together a great team."
- Marcello Lippi
"Out of everyone at Manchester United, I would pick out Scholes, he is the best midfielder of his generation. I would had loved to play alongside him."
- Pep Guardiola
"He is the one whose level I aspire to. He is the best player in the Premier League."
- Cesc Fabregas
"At La Masia his name was mentioned a lot. He’s a teacher."
- Lionel Messi
"Nobody else can play the way Paul Scholes does."
- Dimitar Berbatov
"When we were in training, I used to do a lot of tricks which hardly any players at the club could do. Once I was showing my skills to Scholes. After I finished, Scholes took the ball and pointed to a tree which was about 50m from where we were standing. He said, I’m going to hit it in one shot. He kicked and hit the tree. He asked me to do the same; I kicked about 10 times, but still couldn’t hit it, with that accuracy. He smiled and left."
- Cristiano Ronaldo
"I wouldn’t swap Paul Scholes for anybody. He is quite simply the most complete footballer I have ever played with. He is the best."
- Gary Neville
"Best player? For me, it’s Paul Scholes. He’ll do ridiculous things in training like say, “You see that tree over there?” – it’ll be 40 yards away – “I’m going to hit it”. And he’ll do it. Everyone at the club considers him the best."
- Rio Ferdinand
"I have no hesitation in putting a name to the embodiment of all that I think is best about football. It’s Paul Scholes. In so many ways Scholes is my favourite."
- Sir Bobby Charlton
"I think Paul Scholes is the best player in England. He’s got the best skills, the best brain. No one can match him. There isn’t a player of his mould anywhere in the world. Paul is irreplaceable."
- Sir Alex Ferguson
"Overrated"
