Not a hope in hell was Vieira better than Zidane.
He was In his prime he was the perfect midfielder. He had endless reserves of energy, picked the perfect passes and, like his compatriot zidane, scored big goals. But at a personal level, I feel in terms of pure effectiveness, he overshadowed Zinedine. He won the ball back, broke up counter-attacks and started them too. He wore his heart on his sleeve. He was an example of commitment and hard work on the field.
Zidane had the skill and turned it on in the big games with goals to boot, but for me Viera was a better midfielder
