Iniesta Names Top 4 Midfielders, Excludes Zidane
Andres Iniesta, the Spanish football legend, has shared his list of the four greatest midfielders of all time, omitting Zinedine Zidane from the selection. The Barcelona icon, known for his technical skills and vision on the field, revealed his choices in 2020, reflecting the players who inspired him during his career.
Among the names he highlighted are Johan Cruyff, widely regarded as one of the greatest players in history, and Michel Platini, a French midfielder celebrated for his playmaking ability. Iniesta also mentioned Xavi, his longtime teammate at Barcelona, who played a crucial role in the club’s success. The fourth name on his list was not disclosed in the full statement, though it was clear that Zidane, despite his legendary status, did not make the cut.
The decision to exclude Zidane has sparked discussions among football fans, with some arguing that his influence on the game, particularly during the 1998 World Cup, should have been acknowledged. However, Iniesta’s list remains a personal reflection of the players who shaped his own playing style and career. (yen.com.gh)
