There are two types of high class player in my opinion.
1. A player that fools the opposition with tricks. Cristiano Ronaldo, Quaresma, Robinho, Ronaldinho.
2. A player that dosen't need tricks, he just has a perfect sense of timing and is one step ahead. Zidane, Riqueleme, Kaka and to a certain extent Fabregas.
One game that highlights the class between the two types of player was the World Cup match between Brazil and France last year.
If you remember at the time, Ronaldinho was in most people's opinions the best player on the planet, he had all the tricks and skills, but on the day, when it really counted Zidane was there pulling the strings, doing all the things you would expect from Ronaldinho, only better. You also have to rememeber that on that same pitch was Kaka, what did he do that day ?
Kaka has all the attributes to become a player of Zidane's quality, he outclassed Man United in the Champions League semi finals and then again against Liverpool in the final.
Many people say Ronaldinho, Ronaldo are just as good but when you look back at the big games, the Champions League final (Ronaldinho) and the Champions League Semi final (Ronaldo) both disappeared.
Are we waiting for the next Zidane ? Or is he already here ?
