Song = Crack (very talented star best ever player) Modric = a 42 million euro smokescreen to cover embarrassments. Summary: Modric > Song. Cules = Mad and jealous.
There are a lot of good CM's atm Rakitic, Ramsey, Vidal, Pogba, Fernandinho and Tiago to name a few. Hell even Gerrard has been rolling back the years with some amazing form of late.
Easily the best "footballer" we have in the squad. Yes much better footballer than Ronaldo. In my opinion Modric and Iniesta are the two best "footballers" in the league (although Iniesta is not having his usual awesome season). When in doubt...just pass to Modric
Iniesta is easily one of the greatest midfielders of all time. He is up there with Zidane. As a spaniard...I will love him forever.
yeah...Rakitic is pretty good last two seasons... he's also all around MF player... wih him, Modric and young Kovacic from Inter, Croatia have "decent" midfield for WC
Rakitic and wingers do that in NT.. however i would like to se Modric shooting more from half-distance.. but thats me, i love old fashioned football when you shoot on the goal from outside.. and not trying to walk into with a ball
why not? world, european champion, CL, La liga winner. key player for Spain and Barca many years. i don't know why can''t be on the same leve.
Team achievements have nothing to do with that, Zidane was just unique. Its not easy to explain, its basically about intangibles, where Iniesta is effective, Zizou was simply dazzling on a whole different level.
So does David Villa, so does that mean that he is the same as Ronaldo Lima? I think not. Team achievement have nothing to do with this. Zidane was the best player in the world in his prime. Iniesta, without counting Ronaldo and Messi is not that. Zidane at the age 34 led his national team to a World Cup final and simply dominated the tournament against teams like Spain, Brazil and Portugal. It's an insult to Zidane to say that Iniesta was on his level. Watch this video, listen to the commentary and the crowd cheers, it's something else. Iniesta is wasn't the best player during the last world cup let alone on Zidane's level.
Zidane would take over in the big games, he is unplayable when on form and can even do everything on his own when he has to. It is a little unfair to compare Iniesta to him since Zidane was the center and main playmaker in most teams he has been while Iniesta plays in a more team-oriented Spain and Barcelona. Iniesta is an artist like Zidane but I have yet to see any player that completely takes over big games like Zidane does.
Is kill to have him pair up with Pjanic in our nt. Dude is straight quality. Without him I think we'd be lost. Really does provide the balance in that mid which we need.
