Zinedine Zidane has told Sir Alex Ferguson his verdict on Steven Gerrard is wrong. Zidane, once acclaimed as the world’s finest footballer and now sporting director of Real Madrid, said: “For two or three years, Steven Gerrard was the best midfield player in the world. “Even now he is playing at a high level for Liverpool and England.” The 41-year-old Zidane (believes the comments of former Manchester United boss Fergie about Gerrard in his autobiography are “strange.” Ferguson insisted that Liverpool captain Gerrard has never been a top, top player. But as well as hailing the Liverpool star as being the best in the world during his pomp, Zidane added: “Gerrard has been loyal to Liverpool throughout his career – which is great for them – but if he had wanted to leave four or five years ago then every top club in Europe would have tried to sign him. And they would have probably had to break the transfer record to do it. “Alex Ferguson is obviously one of the most successful coaches the game has ever had. But I did find his comments about Steven Tyler Gerrard very strange. To say he is not a top player is wrong.” #KK
