English football legend, former Manchester United star Paul Scholes, has commented on the most skilled midfielders in modern football.
Pedri, a young talent from Barcelona, took first place in Skoulz's personal ranking. The English legend described him as "the smartest and clearest-thinking midfielder in modern times."
"Watching Pedri is a pleasure for me. Despite his young age, he is distinguished by his speed of decision-making and low culture. My favorite player is him," said Scholes.
Manchester City captain and world champion Rodri took second place in the ranking. Scholes called him "the standard of modern midfield" and emphasized that "he is the heart of the team, the playmaker who controls the game."
The legend also highlighted Portuguese Vitinha (PSG), Argentinian Alexis Mac Allister (Liverpool), and Dutchman Frenkie de Jong (Barcelona). Each of them, according to Scholes, is distinguished by the ability to manage team play and make precise decisions under pressure.
As Paul Scholes noted, "being a central midfielder in modern times requires not only physical strength, but also intellectual thinking, quick analysis, and the ability to feel the game."
Thus, Skoulz's choice became a source of inspiration for the younger generation - he described a modern midfielder as a player who plays not only with technique, but also with intelligence.
