Wow that Fabio Capello story blew my mind. Too right, he wanted you to miss the birth of your child for a friendly, and then tricked you into missing precious time with your newborn with the possibility of playing for England only to make you sit on the bench. I'd be done with him aswell after that.

[@rebellionxci]

Mowj and they achieved half the amount Scholes did in the game though, explain that.

[@hhthistorian3799]

Rebellion XCI Man United clearly had a better team in those eras, it’s pretty obvious Man United didn’t dominate because Paul Scholes Individually, they dominated because they had a fantastic team who would run through a brick wall for Ferguson unlike the Liverpool teams in that era and the Chelsea team besides the Mourinho & Ancelotti Eras

[@mowj7691]

Rebellion XCI Scholes was a world class player like Gerrard and Lampard, Yet scholes had one of the best prem teams in near enough every season he played, put Gerrard and Lampard in United and they would’ve won the same amount. Stats speak for themselves on all the players, yet you can just compare what he won, that’s not an argument of him being a better individual player

[@MrTthaha]

Shocking that Roy Keane chose Ince over Scholes in his Manchester United dream XI, even Vieira said Scholes is the best midfielder he's ever played against

[@sambarnes283]

It's called being bitter mate.. probably hates that Scholes was one of Fergie's golden boys!

[@cathyblackhall3448]

It was tongue in cheek when he said that,most of the players he picked that time had beef with Fergie lol.He’s said since he would pick Scholes as his best ever partner in midfield.

[@aaronking2369]

I wouldn't take keane serious when it come to that because he left united under a dark cloud and is clearly bitter at the manager and some of the players that were at the club when he left

[@kylerzz]

Scholes dosen't get the appreciation he deserves, what a player!

[@Alzenryo]

If the like of pirlo, xavi, henry, zidane and the other legends never talk about scholes, ppl and media will never know how great scholes was.

I love interviews like this. You leave it feeling better about everything.

[@matthewgibsonmusician]

It seems that all the football purists and people in the game rate Scholes the highest. Gerrard and Lampard are club legends but are more “English”. I think Scholes draws praise from Pirlo et al. because he’s the closest we had then to a more agile, technically brilliant and “elegant” midfielder more akin to Xavi/Iniesta/Pirlo. Gerrard and Lampard seem more alike as a pair so a direct comparison makes more sense

[@Akan123]

Exactly, honestly don't understand why people don't get this and even with that taking away the penalties of Gerrard and Lampard, Scholes' numbers are up there also considering he played deepeer for a longer time than the other 2 did but scored a lot more than the Xavi's & Pirlo's, guess that was the English in him

[@brew8892]

Many players have this opinion of Scholes.. the guy is a legend

Zinedine Zidane; "You rarely come across the complete footballer but Scholes is as close to it as you can get" Also from Zinedine Zidane; Reporter asks, "What does it feel like to be the best player in the world" Zidane's response "I don't know, ask Paul Scholes" As a neutral I can say that Paul Scholes is the best midfielder the PL has had. 100% model professional as well.

I’m basing this on raw talent and ability and Gazza was one of the best players in the world at his peak. He was on par with gullit mattaeus laudrup at that time. Scholes’s reading and football iq may have been better but a gazza type of player would win you a game single handedly. Scholes needed those united players around him to thrive, gazza didnt.
