Iniesta's career is inch perfect. Key member of world cup team and the final winner. Spain's best player in Euro 2012 by a mile. Amazing performances in each of the CL finals. So many trophies. And he is still playing amazingly. He can get one or two CL's more if luck is on our side. If not for messi and Ronaldo iniesta would have been rated above zidane by every one. Zidane was actually the best player around that time if I believe what every one says. In 2010 world cup I was mesmerized by iniesta's magic. Never have I felt the same since then.

Improvin' Perfection!!
Zidane's goal in final probably more significant, especially considering it was in the final?
But have to give Iniesta one thing.... It was tremendously desperate situation and Don just showed the nerves of steel
For all Messi's brilliance and Xavi's impact on the system in Barcelona's most dominant era, that goal hands down steals the show!

"[Ronaldo] will play out wide, but he will have freedom in his movements," Zidane said.
"And of course, he will keep taking our free-kicks."
Excellent
Well of course he'll take them it was one of the main conditions Zidane had to agree to in order to become a manager, it's in a contract.

i guess he is just following orders from above, or maybe giving ronaldo a chance to become 'happy' again and find his goalscoring form. but if ronaldo really fell off i'd be really disgusted if zidane turns out to be as gutless as previous coaches even though i dont like him or madrid.

That's just not true.
Zidane has played at left midfield and centre midfield many many times. Also, just because his nominal position is attacking midfielder doesn't mean his roles are similar to the current idea of what a CAM should be like. The 4-2-3-1, whose popularity is a very recent phenomenon, has two midfielders in the centre behind the CAM, which allows him to concentrate on creating attacking chances. In previous eras, it was common for AMs to be partnered with just one other player in central midfield, which leads to an entirely different player. Even when AMs were partnered with two other central midfielders, they weren't as attacking as players in that position are now.

Actually, maybe if they went on youtube and searched up his games, then they might realize who Zidane plays more like - Iniesta or Ozil.
