'I Have Faced Ronaldo And Messi, But Zaha Is My Most Difficult Opponent' – Milner

Liverpool midfielder, James Milner has disclosed that Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha has given him the most trouble out of anyone, having faced him four times in the red of Liverpool.

Dazet Wilfried Armel Zaha is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League club Crystal Palace and the Ivory Coast national team.

Milner revealed that since he joined the Reds from Manchester City in 2015, he has faced Zaha four times and has been sent off the pitch twice during clashes with the Palace forward.

According to Milner, Zaha is a tricky player and he is very tough to mark.

“I’ve been sent off for tackles on him [Zaha] twice.”

“He’s a talent. Unpredictable.

“You see how difficult it is to deal with him when you’re watching him. And when you play against Zaha he’s tricky and very tough to face.”

For him to say Zaha has been the individual to give him the most trouble is a clear indicator of the Ivorian’s talents – players these days have easy afternoons against the workhorse Milner.

However, the flamboyant 26-year-old will next pitch up against Liverpool on November 23, giving Miner a few weeks to prepare himself.
