Why Zinedine Zidane respected Paul SCHOLES

[@magicfc1000]

Pele: “If he was playing with me, I would have scored so many more." Zinedine Zidane: “My toughest opponent? Scholes of Manchester. He is the complete midfielder." Luis Figo: “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 disappear.” Xavi: “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." Patrick Vieira: “The player in the Premiership I admire most? Easy - Scholes." Lionel Messi: “At La Masia his name was mentioned a lot. He’s a teacher." Roy Keane: “An amazingly gifted player who remained an unaffected human being." Laurent Blanc: “I tell anyone who asks me - Scholes is the best English player." Pirlo: “The truly great English midfield player of the generation. Didn’t just play the game, he thought about the game. You could see every pass, every decision, was based on his intelligence and understanding." Thierry Henry: “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’." Pep Guardiola: “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." Cesc Fabregas: “He is the one whose level I aspire to. He is the best player in the Premier League." Dimitar Berbatov: “Nobody else can play the way Paul Scholes does." Sir Alex Ferguson: “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.” Paul Scholes was the GOAT! 🐐

[@t2twanks]

What other player has the likes of Zidane, Xavi, Figo, Pele, Pep Guardiola, Viera and a host of other excellent players from every decade, talk about them in such high regard, Scholesy has to go down as one of the most humble and most talented players of any generation, I ❤️ Paul Scholes, and I really miss him, we won't see another footballer like him for a very long time.
