Comment	Never saw Cruyff play, or Platini or Best or Pele for that matter so cant really compare. Zidane's career wasn't peaky I dont think, 1998 and 2006 world cups he was imperious - unreal for Juve and then just as good for Real. The thing as well is that the defending in Maradona's era, and Zidane's to a lesser extent was brutal, particularly in Italy - R7 is a specimen so I reckon he could have dealt with it ok, less sure about Messi. If Maradona played in this era, no tackles from behind etc etc, OMG it would be a beautiful sight.
