Holder of the world's largest transfer fee Zinedine Zidane
picked up plentiful individual awards during his playing days and
believes Cristiano Ronaldo is set to do the same.
Zidane, who was awarded the Fifa World Player of the Year on three
separate occasions, has backed Ronaldo to pick up the first of his
this year for his 42-goal return last season.
"Cristiano Ronaldo is in a good position to win it," Zidane is
quoted by Setanta Sports as saying.
"Then, it’s a question of feeling. When I was playing, some
preferred Zidane to Ronaldo and vice-versa... As far as I’m
concerned, Cristiano Ronaldo has an edge regarding the whole
season," he concluded.
Ronaldo was recently rewarded with the Uefa Player of the Year
award for his performances in last season's Champions League. He
also scored the opening goal in the European final in Moscow.
