Former "Manchester United" defender Paul Scholes revealed his two current favorite football players. The legendary footballer's eye has been caught by two representatives from Madrid's "Real" - Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. Scholes himself compares himself more to T. Kroos, but does not hide his admiration for L. Modric, who, despite being 34 years old, still plays in "Real"'s starting lineup. "I would have liked to play like Luka Modric," Scholes said to BBC. "He is different from what I was - much faster and can easily beat opponents' defenses. However, I see some similarities in terms of game control." "I would compare myself more to Toni Kroos, who stands out for his passes and game control. He doesn't like getting into physical battles, and the goals he scores, if he scores at all, are very unusual. If I had to choose between Toni and Luka, I would undoubtedly classify myself with Kroos. Both leave a very good impression. They are the two players I admire watching "Real" and their successful journeys in Europe," added P. Scholes.
