Watch the two assists by Kevin De Bruyne against Tottenham in the Champions League below.

Without the theatrics, he unlocks magic and is so insane.

I don’t see him adapting anytime soon
He’s on ball confidence isn’t that inspiring
First touch is close to poor.

If Camavinga learns how to tackle physically like mendy it’s over
Looks like Cama gets the message.

100% tackle success rate today vs Man City.

He lacks intellect, technical, physical and poaching ability to displace aguero back then.

Still he tries to play and press like aguero and till date he hasn’t overcome his shortcomings

Phil Foden had nothing to displace David Silva, but he waited and kept building himself. Today, Foden is a machine. Nacho would have improved under Pep. I have no doubt about it.

This is part of why I class KDB as a true elite and Chances Creator CAM Profile. Disrespectful placing Yaya and KDB in the same sentence to be honest.

This is KDB at his insane creative best. He is the most elite chances creator of his era. None better.

Insane crossing. Elite passing. Direct vertical approach. That is Kevin De Brains at his mega efficient best.

I'll disagree with your last paragraph to some extent... Remember he was amazing at Wolfsburg.....with City, things are much easier for him... But he is definitely nowhere near the class of Zidane
I know...KDB is quality. My statement might be a bit off but you should be able to understand what I'm trying to pass across.
Pep has been able to redefine KDB's role and set up the team tactically...both of which KDB is capitalizing on now. Man is now scoring and assisting more.

Whoever Guardiola bought should not have been Nacho's problem but improving to fight against whoever they bought.

He had to improve his play and Guardiola was ready to teach him. Unfortunately, Nacho was not ready to learn.

It's always a Joy to watch Vinicius Jr play football.

Rainbow flick in a UCL semis game. The game needs ballers like this in the biggest stage always.

Vinicius Jr's confidence needs to see a psychiatrist, because his confidence is borderline crazy.

Foden improved with poor game time. It was about working with Guardiola in training, day in day out for years. Nacho would have become a monster.

They were playing different roles. Nacho was supposed to fight for the striker role.

I get your angle perfectly.

In a nutshell though, KDB's interpretation of the role has seen him evolve into the Most Elite Chances Creator of his era among midfielders but Zidane remains that guy who oozes elite control and command as the All-time Dictator midfielder of not just his era but any era (arguably).
I didn't watch most of zidane especially when he's was with Juventus and france in the late 90s but from me viewing more as a CAM due to his play, videos and penchant for being mostly the Man with mostly the final passes I believe xavi Hernandez is a better midfield controller than him. Maybe it's because he was mostly a deep lying playmaker in central midfield or him playing for two of the most possession based teams of all time but I've never seen anybody control the game like xavi did. From scanning, to being open for passes to passes both long and short opening even the most stubborn of defences. Note I'm only talking of midfield control not flair. I'll like to please hear your opinion about it.

Statistically, when it comes to effectiveness, De Bruyne is a better player than Zidane.
TheGoodjoe my man,
u r good analyst n I respect ur analetical acumen but ur choice of players over another always baffles me,
back in d days d way u talked about Oshoniwa,one who hasn't seen him played would easily conclude he was d best Nigerian left back of all time.
I can afford to overlook things like that when u were just trying to hype someone's quality 4 whatever reason.

But this Zidan vs KDB,I can't just put up with that.
The great Zidan.
U've been making categorical statements that that KDB is a better player than Zidan,
this is so wrong,the guy who described it as a football blasphemy is not far from being honest.

In EPL, I'm not rating KDB ahead of Schools,Gerald and Lampard yet,
Lampard even have a better stats than him. He need to lead City to that champions league first.

In world football,Zidan is probably the greatest or best midfielder of all time,
yet u can claim that KDB is better.

In 21st century,we've seen some of the greatest midfielders of all time,while Zidan will occupy the top,KDB won't make top 10.

Iniasta,
Xavi,
Pirlo,
Modric,
Rivaldo,
Ronaldinho,
Kaka,
Scholes,
Gerald,
Lampard,
Seedof.
These guys are ahead of KDB in midfield ranking order yet Zidan is better than almost if not all of them.

Zidan can easily make any top 10 football greatest of time while KDB won't make top 50 greatest players of all time.

If u rate KDB ahead of Zidan,it means that after d super goats like Messi,Pele,Maradona,C.Ronaldo,he is d next in line,
because that's d status where Zidan belonged.

Zidan ranked around between 5th,6th and 7th in football greatest of all time ranking.

Which ever way u put it Zidan is better and greater.
World cup,
Champions league,
Balloon d'or
etc.
With luck he can manage a champions league trophy but
Is a tall order for him to win world cup and balloon d'or.

Even in this thread,99% will take Zidan over KDB.
I have a great respect for KDB,top top player in this insipid era of d game,but Zidan is far better.

I wonder what is bias here.

My point is simple. De Bruyne plays the attack midfield in a more effective manner than the greats.
In a more effective manner that has yielded only EPL trophies and Carling Cup, how many world cup goals does De Bryne have?

Why? Petit was so good in that finals that even John Fashanu picked him out for the role he was playing for France in that game.

Without those headers, I doubt Zidane would have been rated over Petit.
So now John Fashanu with 2 England caps is now the expert, you are just looking to argue unnecessarily.

Barcelona Scout In Attendance As Free Scoring Nigerian Striker Orban Extends His Goal Count For The Season

The impressive run of Nigerian forward Gift Orban hasn’t gone unnoticed by top clubs around Europe as they step up their plans for the summer transfer window.

Orban has been a sensation in Belgium for Gent since his move to the Belgium side in January from Norwegian second division side Stabæk. He has repaid the faith in him with 16 goals in 18 games in all competitions.

It includes nine in ten Belgium league games, five in six Europa Conference League games and two in two in the ongoing Jupiler Pro League Europe Play-Offs. His last goal came in their 1-2 loss to Standard Liege.

That game was watched closely by scouts from Spanish League giants Barcelona according to several reports. Scouts from French Ligue 1 side Lille were also in attendance keeping watch of the €20m rated forward. He is looking likey to leave in the summer.

Gent are publicly denying any interest in letting him leave, but sources said they are aware that selling him in the summer will see them make massive profit and already search has started in earnest for his replacement.
