Zidane says what’s the difference between Messi and everyone else

Zinedine Zidane and Leo Messi came face to face at a special meeting organized by one of their ambassador brands – Adidas. Zizu praised the Argentine’s creative abilities and pointed out which quality distinguishes him from other stars.

At the end of the conversation, the two exchanged jerseys of their countries’ national teams with their names on them.

“To play as a number 10, you have to have magic, which is the case with you. Because that position is the leader of the team, and the leader must be a creator. He must have something that makes him different from others, just like you.

You notice things before anyone else. Number 10 should do that. I was one second ahead of everyone else and you were three. This is the most important thing that sets you apart from the rest. You know what you’re going to do before the ball even reaches you. Few people are capable of that,” Zidane said.
