Looks like it will be calculator things towards the end of the qualifiers.

Missing out on an expanded world cup with a record number slots for African teams will be unpardonable.

You think so.
People in Abuja should be able to confirm the school. From what I read, he plays for Mavlon fc and they're the one sponsoring his education.

as good as kdb, he is not close to Zidane. A whole zizou hmm. Who cares, for the fact he didn't win anything with his country or even world best puts him way below the rank. Louis Figo that you are talking about won ballon d'or if my memory serves me right. There was a time Belgian team had one of the best squads player for player (think during hazard's prime), baba still messed up. Good Joe drop this argument.

The debate is not about who is better because they play different roles and function in different manner. It comes to preference. I prefer De Bruyne's approach. His style is more effective when it comes to direct contributions. When it comes to ball handling and deeper play, Zidane rules.

It is about preference and De Bruyne rules in his offensive midfield space.

Finito.

KDB is a big part of City’s success? Lmao . Man wasn’t even present when City won its biggest ever trophy(UCL). Rodri carried him.

City also won the league in 2019 without KDB..He missed more than half of the campaign. In 2022, still the same case. How important has he been in that team? Rodri, Gundogan have been way more important that him.

KDB is only listed as a midfielder on formation but in reality he doesn’t play midfield, E.G attached shows his average position in the last game… Further up, even ahead of Haaland.

Most of KDB’s assists is from excessive crossing(attached). Typical RW/SS style of play

The level at which Figo operated was different, he was a ballondor winner & a fifa best winner. KDB has never been the best in the world at any point, he has only been on the BallonDor/Fifa best podium(top3) once in his entire career. His first time ever on the podium was at age 31 which he lost to Benzema. So using Figo as an example makes no sense.

Mind you ,Zidane was on fifa best podium for 6 seasons. He won the award 3x & won Ballondor too. How dare you compare that cross spa mmer to the great Zizou ?

And you said Football is a career thing & not a big game thing. It’s obvious you have zero knowledge about Zidane’s career..

Zidane is the only player in history to win the best player of the tournament in worldcup, Euro & UCL plus also winning the player of the season in Ligue1, Laliga & SerieA. He also won MOTM WC final & CL final with massive goals

So he litterally did it in 3 biggest tournaments & 3 top leagues…Zidane has the career and the big game. What does KDB have?

Ghosted in Worldcup, Ghosted in Euro, Ghosted in CL final, Ghosted in nations league. Euro 2024 is on the way, he will ghost too & blame it on old age like he did in the last worldcup cheesy :

You are still hinging on big games. When you look at career stats, KDB still ghosts Zidane when it comes to offensive contribution. You can talk of Zidane won this won Serie A, won this, won that. KDB when it comes to Manchester City, his medals are also huge. You can try to play down his contribution but his assists and goals for City is insane. He is just behind Ryan Giggs in all time assists. Playing for City alone. That is insane. You can't bend the truth.

I said, I don't know you but I can tell you that I have watched Zidane hands down more than you. I started watching Zidane in Bordeaux with Lizarazu and Christoph Dugarry.

There are few people in the world that can tell you Zidane was not exceptional in France 98. It is only someone who watched Zidane well that can point that.

Men I watched the likes of Gazza and Sammer.

Just leave that side.

When it comes to effectiveness, Kevin De Bruyne rules. I wonder why this is too hard for you. The stats shows it clearly and you can't bend the truth. The debate has never been Zidane and De Bruyne who is better. When it comes to offensive effectiveness, Kevin De Bruyne rules. You might not like him crossing but it gets him amazing results.

Plain facts, not argument. When it comes to offensive effectiveness career wise, Kevin De Bruyne rules. Just facts.

Definitely.

As I said earlier, they play different ways. However, if I want to select a midfielder to control and dictate play, I won't think about giving Zidane the role over De Bruyne because he does not think that way. However, if I have a striker and I want the a midfielder to supply the forwards Ammunition, I will chose Kevin De Bruyne.

doesn't matter. Guirassy's 26 goals and UCL qualification is more impressive and closer to APOTY podium than Boniface's bundesliga, Europa and pokal win( in view).
