Makelele is a powerful holding player (Allsport).
CLAUDE MAKELELE
Position: Midfield
Born: 18.02.73
Club: Real Madrid Makelele's case for a regular start in Lemerre's team has to be strengthened by
the fact he plays alongside Zinedine Zidane in Real Madrid's midfield. A strong
holding player who allows the likes of Zidane and Luis Figo to play at Real,
Makelele was another to start at Nantes, before joining Marseille and then
Celta Vigo. Made his France debut nearly seven years ago, but has only in the
past 18 months started to become a regular starter.
Talented player who has more ability on the ball than he is sometimes given credit for.
Faces tough competition for a starting berth in a sensational French midfield.
