I was just watching videos of Zidane in the 2006 World Cup and the composure of him and the vision and dribbling was superb. Just to think is there any players that currently plays like him now ? I think the closest was Pogba

The closest player to zidane that I’ve seen is modric, iniesta and busquets . It’s all about the Elegancy ✨
Pogba at his peak idk about Bellingham tho I don’t see it
I don’t see how Pogba is similar to Zidane, Pogba never had that elegance, not even close. Juan Carlos Valeron and Iniesta had the zidanelike elegance, in some ways Busquets also. From current players it’s Pedri.
Young Juve Pogba had that elegance and was compared to him back then. Sadly, it went downhill after that
Jude B
This is the right answer ☝️
Zidane has posters of John McGinn on his wall
Rodri maybe , difficult one , maybe there’s someone in a lower league most close ?
Jude Bellingham
This is the right answer ☝️
Out of players currently playing Szobo a little bit
Technically still a footballer. Prime Dele Alli had a bit of Zidane about him.
He’s not playing anymore but the one player that was hailed as the new Zidane was Yoann Gourcuff. He scored a really “Zidane” goal vs PSG in the 2008/09 season

This is a rogue shout, but since there isn’t many similar to him I think Bruno Fernandes actually comes closest along with prime Pogba
Currently, probably Modric. Although he does more defensive work and I don’t think he’s as good at shooting. In terms of flair, inventiveness and running the game he comes closest atm.
Every fucking Villa player 🟣🔵
