Z. Zidane named his toughest opponent

"Real" Madrid's head coach Zinedine Zidane admitted that "Manchester United" legend Paul Scholes was the toughest opponent he had to face. The 48-year-old Frenchman is considered one of the greatest football players of all time. Throughout his career, Zidane won numerous important titles and was chosen as the best player on the planet in 1998. Z. Zidane stated that P. Scholes was the best player in his position and regrets not having had the opportunity to play together on the same team. "He was an incredibly tough opponent. If you couldn't get the ball from him in time, when he wasn't around, he would make it look like a nightmare for everyone else with the ball. Paul was the kind of player every team would want. He could do a lot of damage," Zidane commented on the Englishman.
