Could Gazza have been better than Zidane?

A lot of football fans seem to think that Zidane was untouchable . And while he did look untouchable for France at times. I remember often when he came up against Roy Keane for Man United or Ireland Keane dominated him . As good as keane was i couldn't see handling maradonna, messi, cryuff , ronaldinho, etc.

He had a suspect temperament and mentality . So if you knew how to play against him like keane did you could limit his influence .

Another thing that is never acknowledged about zidane is that he wasn't nearly as effective at club level .

And i find it maddening to think that his admirers have up there with Maradonna, messi , pele , cryuff etc.

I would say that Zidane was undoubtedly one of the best players of his generation . On a par with figo, rivaldo etc.

As far Gazza . Well zidane had the better career . I think even after his career changing injury with Tottenham . Gazza went to serie a and when he was fit and played he often ran games for Lazio . And remember this was when serie a was the best league in the world . He also ran games for England at times and this is after his injury.
