River, Miccoli is just an average player, because he doesn't get to play as much as Owen did at Liverpool, so you can't say Miccoli is better at the moment.
And for that that people are saying that Owen is shit. He isn't shit, he just isn't Owen he used to be. Maybe was Liverpool crisis too, but he certainly wasn't giving all from himself in the past two seasons. Maybe it's the reason that Zlatan said.
And I don't agree that media are overrating him. They neved did. Even when he was best player in the England and maybe Europe, the media rated Beckham higher than him. So it's not the media thing.
I hope he'll regain his old form @Real Madrid, and I wish him success in that direction, but I doubt he'll get to play as he used to @Liverpool.
