From elegance to running wildly! Real Madrid doesn t need a midfield commander anymore?

I saw a fan friend ask: What is the difference between watching Bellingham and Zidane play football?

I don't think the two have much in common. Bellingham and Zidane have similarities: both play in midfield, both Real Madrid No. 5, and are about the same height.

Apart from this, the two have no similarities.

In terms of technical characteristics, Bellingham is a hexagonal all-round fighter, B2B play, can score, run, and participate in defense.

Zidane is the core of the midfield organization. He plays as a midfielder or a "virtual" left forward. He can control the field, organize and dispatch, and control the rhythm of the game.

Of course, Qi Tu is more versatile than other classical front midfielders (such as Riquelme or Rui Costa), because Zidane has good physical and psychological qualities, is not afraid of physical confrontation, and can stand in a higher position. Players who play like Zidane are basically extinct in today's football world, and there is almost no organizational front-middle like Zidane in mainstream leagues.

Unlike Zidane's elegant and graceful or strolling style, Bellingham also plays in the midfield, but he is more like a B2B midfielder like Lampard, Barack or Toure.

Bellingham has a high degree of participation in the game. He can be seen in any area of ​​the game. He actively runs and fights actively. He handles the ball very quickly, has passing accuracy and field of vision, and has the ability to plug in and shoot from behind.

I think the strongest organizational midfielder in football today is Barcelona's true core Pedri, followed by Newcastle's gambling king Tonali.

The strongest attacking midfielder in football today is Bellingham, followed by Wilz.

Of course, Bellingham added B2B elements to the attacking midfield.

Judging from Bellingham's age and potential, he can continue to rise.

Zidane's playing style, skills and ball quotient determine that he is the midfield coach and the absolute core of the organization.

Bellingham is like a fierce general, and his style of playing is more direct.

Who are you going to ask me who is stronger? Judging from the current situation, Zidane must be stronger and he is more direct in improving the national team.

After all, the value of a midfield commander is not how good his own data is, but that their organizational and scheduling capabilities need to improve the combat effectiveness and lower limit of a whole team.

And Bellingham can better guarantee the team's lower limit. Bellingham is still young and is still improving.

It is hard to imagine how low the Real Madrid lower limit would be this season without Bellingham?

The four masters of Mbappenius Bellingham Rodrigo in the frontcourt did not form any system at all, and they rely entirely on the players' personal abilities to kill the master.

The summary is that we don’t talk about our personal abilities. I think Zidane plays football and it feels like it’s just one word, stability.

You can say that Zidane's condition is not that good, but Qi Tu's ability to wash the ball and stop the ball and control the ball is really not very stable.

On the basis of stability, Zidane also has a wild imagination.

Compared with Zidane's stability, Bellingham is "strong" and is the best in the three armies.
