Who is more senior in football history in Ronaldo vs Zidane?
Ronaldo at his peak > Zidane at his peak, however, after retiring, Zidane's historical status in football is higher than that of Ronaldo!
Of course, this "higher", not much higher, why?
Let's take an example, which two of the best universities in the country are the two?
It must be Tsinghua and Peking University.
What about the third place? At least 10 universities feel they qualify for the top three!
Put it in football, too.
The top two in football are definitely pele and Maradona.
What about the third place? There are more than a dozen candidates, right?
Ronaldo, Zidane, Messi, Ronaldo, Beckenbauer, Cruyff, Stefano, Platini, Ronaldinho... Who do you say is the third person?
I can also say that the gap between the third place and the tenth place is not large, basically the same grade, and it is considered to be the "quasi-ball king" level.
The same is true of Zidane and Ronaldo.
At the peak of Ronaldo, known as the "alien", belongs to the football BUG, body, technology and consciousness are good, possession, breakthrough and shooting, everything is proficient, long-distance running, single knife breakthrough, just as simple as eating.
Between 1996 and 1998, Da Luo even qualified to compete for the first man in the history of football.
Unfortunately, due to injuries and other reasons, Ronaldo's peak period is relatively short, that is, one year at Eindhoven, one year at Barcelona, the first year at Inter Milan and the first year by Real Madrid (of course, Ronaldo has always played against the sky in Brazil and the World Cup football stadium).
Zidane is different, he is older than Da Luo, but he became famous later.
Compared with Ronaldo, who has the "all-round shooter attribute", Zidane is biased towards the "midfield master attribute", the ball is very stable, the dribbling passing action is atmospheric and elegant, and he is good at directing the team's attack through footwork and overall situation.
Zidane played more steadily, entering mainstream football from 1997, peaking in 1998-2002, and when he was about to retire in 2006, he also came to talk about juvenile madness.
Zidane, like Ronaldo, has won the World Footballer of the Year 3 times, but is also the "UEFA European Player of the Year", performing well in the World Cup, Champions League and European Cup, and at Juventus, Real Madrid and France.
Coupled with Zidane's strong coaching record at Real Madrid after his retirement, these will increase personal impression points.
Therefore, my opinion is that before 2000, Ronaldo's historical position in football was better than Zidane's, after 2000, the two men's football status was gradually equal, and after 2006, Zidane's historical status in football was slightly better than Ronaldo's.
Who do you think is the higher historical position in football of Ronaldo vs Zidane? Welcome to discuss together.
