When football began there was the Vieira role and the Makelele

Makalele > Roy Keane > Davids > shit i took this morning > Vieira

Vieira was overrated. he was a 90s Lass Diarra who happened to be in a good team that was meant to win shit.

Specifying Pogba's role would be pointless, he has already transcended traditional understanding of positional duties
>Makelele's defensive tenacity
>Vieira's box-to-box instinct
>Zidane's ball control and incisive passing
He only played on the wing once (CL final) but everyone surely remembers the performance that put Pires to shame. That's why I list him simply as Midfielder. In truth, only one term describes him properly - Pogba.

>Zidane's ball control and incisive passing

It took years for Zidane to master it. Pogba has it in his teen years. Pogba > Zidane la.

It's not a fair comparison to begin with. Not fair to Zidane, of course. Every young technical attacking midfielder can be labeled "next Zidane", but can you imagine "next Pogba"? Yeah, me neither. We're can consider ourselves blessed to witness his ascent to footballing Olympus

The Pogba Role is dropping some funk songs

This thread is like a fucking fever dream.

What role do they play? I only watch good leagues and CL for European football and never saw those 2 guys you name

>Kante
Ball winning box to box midfielder. Legitimately world class who would be useful in any team, no matter the tactic or goal.
>Pogba
Luxury player. Really good at playing forward from CM. Requires a squad who he can then supply with a ball (forwards) and who can cover for him while he's marauding (dms) which he currently lacks. So a really strange purchase.
