Zidane is the master. Over the past 10 years, there's been no-one like him, he has been the best player in the world.

You can't get bored of winning. You can win 10 games in a row but you keep the same will to snatch the 11th. You always need more.

It's only natural to want to select your best players and there is no doubt for me that Paul Scholes is still in a class of his own. He's almost untouchable in what he does. I never tire of watching him play.

Ronaldinho is total class - a very, very great player. He is quick, powerful, and has extraordinary technical qualities. He is a dribbler but is also a player who can make the play for his teammates. He's not really a No.10, a true organizer. He's more a second attacker who can score goals and has the vision to make them.

All of us at Juventus agreed Manchester United were the best side we met in the Champions League. They have so many talented young players and can only get better and better. Giggs is truly world class

Scholes is undoubtedly the best midfielder of his generation.
Zinedine Zidane
Image
It's hard to explain but I have a need to play intensely every day, to fight every match hard. And this desire never to stop fighting is something else I learnt in the place where I grew up.

I have never had the opportunity to play in England, so I know little about it.

Obviously fashion is a completely different world from football.

You rarely come across the complete footballer, but Scholes is as close to it as you can get. One of my regrets is that the opportunity to play alongside him never presented itself during my career.

My father is an Algerian, proud of who he is and I am proud that my father is Algerian.
