scholes is a holding midfielder who can play a decent pass.
zidane was 1 of the best if not the best attacking midfielder in the world. they both play the opposite role from each other. zidane had flair and skill. scholes has aggression and grit.
also i have never heard zidane saying a player was crap. he gives praise to everyone.
Scholes a holding midfield player? I mean seriously, he played the majority of his career alongside Keane and you think Scholes is a holding midfield player?
If Henry played a game, or two season at right back, he'd still be a striker/left winger.
Scholes was and still is one of the worlds best attacking midfielders, you can tell the difference between a defensive midfielder and an attacking midfielder, a defensive midfielder can tackle, which instantly rules Scholes out, an attacking midfield scores goals, takes several shots a game, and half of the games attacks will flow through him, with him spraying passes to strikers, wingers, in and around the box and in behind the defence.
The only reason Scholes had been playing slightly deeper is frankly the complete lack of a fit DM at Utd. When Fletcher wasn't playing much it was him, Carrick or Anderson and Scholes almost always dropped the deepest when played with Carrick or Anderson(simply because they are completely hopeless defensively).
Scholes is all about skill and flair, Cesc is one of the best attacking midfielders in the world today, his game isn't about flicks and cruyff turns, its about incredibly skilled passing trying to make killer passes for strikers to finish, thats Scholes down to a tee.
Opposite positions, what rubbish, they played the EXACT same position, they simply had two different methods of achieving the same goals. Scholes will do a simple turn or a 1/2 to get out of a tight situation, Zidane would do a fancier turn, neither were very high scoring players, boths main game was passing to setup others. Scholes and Zidane are two of the best in that position in the game, ever.
