Real Madrid: Is Isco the new Zidane?
- Jordan Russell (@JordRuss96)
Indeed, as reported by Spanish newspaper Marca this morning, that is not the only comparison between them worth making. Having played the same number of games as each other, Zizou scored 49 goals while Isco has managed 40. Despite that, the French World Cup winner only won six titles as a player compared to the Valencia youth product’s 12.
The aforementioned Ancelotti was in fact the first to mention any similarity, saying: “To compare Isco with Zidane is a good thing. In terms of quality and skill, they are very much alike. However, he still has a long way to go but there is nothing to say he cannot reach that level.”
