Griezmann plays like Zidane - Lizarazu

Antoine Griezmann possesses qualities similar to those of France legend Zinedine Zidane, says former Les Bleus star Bixente Lizarazu.

Zidane is considered one of the greatest players in the history of football and won the World Cup, alongside Lizarazu, on home soil at France 98.

"If I had to find a common point between Zinedine Zidane and Antoine Griezmann it would be their culture and their feel for the pass," he told L'Equipe.

"These are two great creators of movement. They first think of others before thinking of themselves and that has a direct impact on the team.

"It sounds simple written that way, but it's much more complicated in practice. Zizou, everyone was looking for. Defenders trying to recover and the attackers in hope of receiving an assist."
