Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari has compared Deco to
France legend Zinedine Zidane.
The Brazil-born Portugal star moved to Stamford Bridge this
summer after four years at Barcelona and appears to have been given
a new lease of life.
Scolari knows all about Deco’s capabilities from his time as
Portugal manager and he believes he has a similar style to
Zidane.
“He is special – and unique,” he said in the Daily Star.
“One of the best players in the world was Zidane. Deco is not
Zidane, but his style is similar.
“You expect one thing but, when he plays, it changes. This is
important in one player.
“It’s not just that he is a good player. When they play Deco,
other teams put one player or two players to mark him and that
opens the space for others in our team.”
