Fernandinho compares man city teammate to zidane

Fernandinho, the Brazilian midfielder who has played for Manchester City since 2013, has made a fascinating comparison between his teammate Kevin De Bruyne and the legendary French midfielder Zinedine Zidane.

In an interview with the Manchester Evening News, Fernandinho praised De Bruyne's exceptional skills, saying: "Kevin is an incredible player. He's got the vision, the passing range, the technique... he's got everything. He's like Zidane, you know?"

Fernandinho went on to explain that De Bruyne's ability to control the tempo of the game and dictate the flow of play is reminiscent of Zidane's playing style during his prime at Juventus and Real Madrid.

"Zidane was a player who could control the game, who could make the difference. Kevin is the same. He's got that quality, that ability to make the game his own. He's a player who can change the game with one pass, one shot, one tackle. He's incredible."

Fernandinho's comparison is high praise indeed, considering Zidane is widely regarded as one of the greatest midfielders in football history. De Bruyne has consistently been one of the top performers in the Premier League and has won numerous individual awards, including the PFA Players' Player of the Year and the UEFA Midfielder of the Year.

It's worth noting that Fernandinho has played alongside De Bruyne for several years and has witnessed firsthand the Belgian midfielder's exceptional abilities. His endorsement of De Bruyne's skills is a testament to the midfielder's outstanding talent and his ability to dominate games in the same way that Zidane did during his playing career.
