Yeh, he just saved his goals for winning the CL final, his 3 other goals in World Cup finals, euro cup semis etc etc. Not to mention his 1 in 3 return at top international level.
150 goals for a midfielder and i included national goals is quite big for a midfielder, zidane thrived in an era where it was tough to beat the defense of teams, he controlled the game with his skills, dribbling and making goals happen, its the forwards job to score not a midfielder and still scored when he wanted to. if we count the cup goals, he's scored 31 goals in italy.
zidane was xavi and iniesta combined, he could operate in the central midfield as well as attacking midfield and can score in big occassion, italian league its hard to score due to the defense.
he doesn't need to score, he is makes goals and scores when he wants to score, messi played in the midfield for argentina in wc 2010 and he scored 0 goals. and 150 goals for a midfielder is a big imo.
and Iniesta scores a lot? NO. what were you high on, kid? if you want to praise Iniesta, you HAVE to praise Zidane too. he and Xavi is pretty much the same type of player Zidane. Zidane is even better because he's the one who drives his team. in Barcelona it's Messi, not Iniesta or Xavi.
Only 2 goals in 1998 season ( only in Serie A with 25 apps, no goals in Coppa italia with 5 apps, no goals in europe with 10 apps) total of 40 apps for juventus with ONLY 2 goals....Then in world cup scored 2 goals to help france win the world cup and that match is only his high performance in the tournament...then he won the Ballon d'or? Very much the hype man.he only won that accolade because he is a french..very overrated for me.. Iniesta is better than him i think ( FYI im a barcelona hater)
Numbers you quoted for 98-99 season, he won the Ballon d'or for the (1998 calendar year) which includes the later half of the 97-98 season in which he scored more goals and won Seire A and reached the final of the champions league. He was miles ahead of everyone in that year and won it by the greatest margin of votes in the history of the award. But since your logic is based on number of goals and you said Iniesta was better let's compare their numbers as both played in the laliga and let's see with their national team, Iniesta in Laliga 35 goals in 442 games Ratio:0.08 Zidane in Laliga: 37 goals in 155 games. Ratio:0.24 (three times higher) Iniesta international: 13 goals in 131 games. Ratio:0.1 Zidane international: 31 goals in 108 games. Ratio:0.29 (Almost three times higher)

zizou is just so unbelievably good wish he had played on longer gone to mls or prem
The legend of Zizuo will live on forever
ive been looking for such a video for a long time! thanksss

Fera esse Zidane!

Iniesta is getting there, but Zidane is still better in my eyes.
in zidanes era serie a was the hardest league to play in, premier league became big post 2005.
zidane was xavi and iniesta combined, he could operate in the central midfield as well as attacking midfield and can score in big occassion, italian league its hard to score due to the defense.
he doesn't need to score, he is makes goals and scores when he wants to score, messi played in the midfield for argentina in wc 2010 and he scored 0 goals. and 150 goals for a midfielder is a big imo.
you know, it's not about the number of goals.. it's about performance.
COOL
what it must have been like to watch him live!!
Zidane beat inesta and xavi and spain in the world cup. Zidane is a god
zidane scored 31 goals in italy, 24 of them came from league matches.
Music name please ?
Zidane was better at Real than Juve imo. Although he was exceptional in his final season at Juve
zidane forse era più divertente che utile (cit. agnelli) e forse segnava poco, ma è stato il giocatore con più classe della serie a, stratosferico!
Zidane Juventus ( 1991-1998).
Great stuff right here my friend...
Forza Juve...we make champions
LoL @ 3:04
okay i get it i just assumed he scored more.
If goals are all that's important then how do you come to the conclusion that Iniesta is better?
what are u getting at just saying he should have gone to mls
no se necesitan muchos goles para ser el mejor
and Iniesta scores a lot? NO. what were you high on, kid? if you want to praise Iniesta, you HAVE to praise Zidane too. he and Xavi is pretty much the same type of player Zidane. Zidane is even better because he's the one who drives his team. in Barcelona it's Messi, not Iniesta or Xavi.

@@EmeWesley well,it wasnt his job to score goals anyways,but in my opinion,ronaldo played better in 98,but zidane won because of the wc finals

Although I feel Zidane was overpraised. He was much better than Inniesta.
