Steven Gerrard.
One of the key man for the famous victory back in
2005,
Istanbul.
Zinedine Zidane has declared Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard as
the best player in the world.
Former Real Madrid star ZZ said: “Is he the best in the world?
He might not get the attention of Messi and Ronaldo but yes, I
think he just might be.
“If you don’t have a player like Steven Gerrard, who is the
engine room, it can affect the whole team.
“When we were winning league titles and European Cups at Real, I
always said Claude Makelele was our most important player.
“There is no way myself, Figo or Raul would have been able to do
what we did without Claude and the same goes for Liverpool and
Gerrard.
“When Claude left us for Chelsea I campaigned for us to buy
Patrick Vieira and Gerrard is now in the same mould as him.
“For many years, Patrick was the most complete midfielder in the
world and now that award must go to Gerrard.
“No team will be successful without a heartbeat and you can see
Gerrard is that heartbeat.
“He has great passing ability, can tackle and scores goals, but
most importantly he gives the players around him confidence and
belief.
“You can’t learn that — players like him are just born with that
presence.”
