Zidane is and will always be my favourite player of all time. Ronaldo and Messi were incredible, but Zidane made it all look so effortless. He was never graced with pace but didnt need it. He was so clever. Watching him was watching a genius at work.
@@stevesteve5785milan ac late 80th by far superior. Much more direct approach. Mu h more danger in front of goal. Much better defence and goalie. No chance barca.
Nostalgia merchant.... Modern football is 10x harder than 20years ago football.. back then you could even easily shoot from the outside and score. tactics/defenders are too strong now... Also midfielders.
In combination with his football IQ, elegance and sense of where the ball, his teammates and opponents were. He was a step ahead. The legendary example is obviously what he did to Man Utd at Old Trafford.
Zidane wanted Gerrard to partner him at Real asked perez to sign him multiple times. The amount of respect he always showed Steven gerrard was crazy and wrote him a message on the first page of a book cant remember if it was a biography of gerrad but an important message no doubt
People go on about Zidane and never mention Figo. At the time the 'who is better, Zidane or Figo' debate was a serious one, like Messi/Ronaldo now. Many, many people preferred Figo, but he's been sort of wiped from football history. Its odd how people now place Zidane as peerless, above all others when it definitely was not seen that way at the time.
Zidane was always better than Figo...even when Figo won the 2000' ballon d'or it should have been Zidane (best player of euro 2000), but because he headbutt a guy (hamburg vs juventus) he did not get what he deserve
Zidane outside the Liverpool changing room:- "Ay, I'm going in there to say hello. I know all the players names except the small bald one. What is it?" Other player: "Danny something" Zidane: "That will do" Zidane goes in changing room. Before he forgets, goes straight to the short bald one. Zidane: "Hello Danny"
Lifelong juve fan and I watched zidane week in Week out for a period of time. He was either a 10/10 or a 4/10 every game. He did put in some shocking performances and whilst beyond incredibly talented he had a terrible temper.
You're probably right especially with his temper , although with madrid he had better consistency especially in early years , and i'm a madrid fan seen him also week in week out , and you know what i understand what u mean because believe it or not i also support juve in italy all beacuse of grande alex and i've seen a lot of ducomentaries about that era and ofcourse i 've seen flashes of the 90's juve
Not putting Zidane down, because he was a top player, but around the mid/late 90's Keane got the better of him when he was @ Juventus. People mustn't forget, that not only with United but also with Ireland Keane dominated against the best Dutch and Italian players in the 90's and noughties! For a period of about 3/4 years Roy Keane was world class 👍 ps. Romario is the best goal scorer I ever saw. NOT the best forward, but the best goal scorer!!!
My father always told me Zidane is insanely good, but as a Messi Ronaldo generation, I Love Cristiano and Messi but as a 9 y.o boy watching 2006 WC, France vs Brazil, i was like " what? Zidane came back after retirement? Yeah whatever" and when he got the ball, even as a kid i was like "Nah, this guy? Destroying Brazil? Alone? Oh God.." 😂😂😂😂
It’s obvious from the position Zidane played he was never going to score too many goals. I am not sure why people are so surprised. I get very irritated when ppl compare him to wingers and strikers.
@@mojebi3804 He was still supposed to create for others like for Theiry Henry when playing for France and for Ronaldo, Raul, and Owen when playing for Real Madrid. I am not sure if you watched football when Zidane played, but you should watch if he used to pass ball more frequently than dribble past defenders to score. He wasn’t like Kaka.
@@mojebi3804 so you are one of those guys who rome around with a stats book? Zidane has only scored 5 goals in his three world cups he played (1998/2002/2006), which is 0.42 (very poor) goals per game. Does that show his impact on those World Cup? How about fk off?
Great story but Houllier NEVER oached Zidane. Also, the whole Europe was already aware of treble-winning Reds by then.Danny was great in this squad. 2000s football was something else.
And Kaka is also right up there And so was reboundo🇧🇷🇧🇷🐐🐐💪🏻💪🏻🔥☄️🙌🙏 And everyone knows about plays like ronaldino. Zedan, and Ronaldo Nazario. So they go without saying 🇧🇷🇫🇷
@sebfox2194 you know you're relevant when you're the top star having people taliking about you 20 years later because you knew their name not the other way around
In the 2000/01 season zidane got sent off in the first champions league game, served a 2 game ban. Came back in game 4 then got sent off in his next one being banned for the remainder of the group…(Deportivo and Hamburg). Sometimes his lack of discipline cost his teams everything.
Zidane is and will always be my favourite player of all time. Ronaldo and Messi were incredible, but Zidane made it all look so effortless. He was never graced with pace but didnt need it. He was so clever. Watching him was watching a genius at work.
Zidane pace is underrated
@@RobenArjen To be fair he wasn't slow, but certainly wasn't quick compared to most top players, and pace was not his strength
Same. Zizou will always be my favourite. Even in a stacked Real team he looked like an adult playing with kids.
@@mw7851 proving in most tactical league in the world at the time wasn’t soo easy either.
For a big guy he was very quick
@@Geohillierneo I think Zizou was very quick he could burst into pace and drag the ball all the way to final third
That era from Romario Ronaldo 🇧🇷 Zidane Ronaldinho was the best football will ever be
Sad isn't it that football is in such an L place right now. Barca 2011 eats anything alive today and forever.
🔥Romario & Requelme had a chance to be the best of all time, but they were so obsessed with partying 🤷♀️
Romario & Bebeto up front for Brazil were unstoppable.
Romario wasnt in that era....
@@stevesteve5785milan ac late 80th by far superior. Much more direct approach. Mu h more danger in front of goal. Much better defence and goalie.
No chance barca.
New gen kids will never understand just how good these players were
here we go...

Zizou the goat for me
I like danny murphy, honest guy
United fan
Man Utd got me into football. Zidane taught me how to play it ❤️
Nice Danny mentioned Rivaldo
Zidane was scary especially his ice cold mentality
Back when football had real superstars
There was so many then
@@TheGeneral_LUFC that was the golden era mate, great times
Danny exemplifies what it means to be a working class person who makes it, then your heroes become your rivals…
It’s so mad
This was a beautiful stroll down memory lane
Danny Murphy is a top man
Oooh 2006 v Brazil a really underrated performance. He outdid Brazilians with Brazilian things
Kaka was a beast his speed with acceleration is ridiculous
In combination with his football IQ, elegance and sense of where the ball, his teammates and opponents were. He was a step ahead. The legendary example is obviously what he did to Man Utd at Old Trafford.
magic
Kaka at ac Milan was a beast of a player
Zidane wanted Gerrard to partner him at Real asked perez to sign him multiple times. The amount of respect he always showed Steven gerrard was crazy and wrote him a message on the first page of a book cant remember if it was a biography of gerrad but an important message no doubt
They'll come a day when people will talk about Messi this way, not that they already don't, but Then i'll be 50 and it'll hit differently.
“Zidane knew my name”. Yeah, sure buddy😂😂😂
Zidane is unique in football !
IM so happy that he mentioned Deco's name. Just the fact that he mentioned the name of the great decor makes me so happy 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🙌🙏🐐🐐💪🏻💪🏻🔥☄️

Haha brilliant 😂.
Danny Murphy: “hold up big fella, you don’t know my last name do you?!”
Zidane: *panics* “yes I do. It’s..erm..DeVito” then makes a hasty exit

Of course he knew your name, guys that play with passion know the game and who can play :).
Wow great convo guys 💯
🔥Romario & Requelme had a chance to be the best of all time, but they were so obsessed with partying 🤷♀️
Romario still got around 1000 goals ..if he didn't party probably 2000
Weirdly enough Danny Murphy at Fulham I feel modelled his game on Zidane. Not as good but a good player in his prime
Zz is the best ever
Imagine ye brits were comparing Bellingham to Zidane 😂😂😂😂
Try to spell properly.
@@pjoseph5950how many languages can you spell correct? 🤔
How good was zidane at 21 tho?
That was Spanish media specially Madrid like Marca
@@BallJuiceOfZeusexactly .
Nobody forgets about zidane
Youngsters have no idea how great those players they mention were 😂.
Danny ballon d'or
It’s obvious from the position Zidane played he was never going to score too many goals. I am not sure why people are so surprised. I get very irritated when ppl compare him to wingers and strikers.
He was an attacking mid with next to no defensive contribution
@@mojebi3804 He was still supposed to create for others like for Theiry Henry when playing for France and for Ronaldo, Raul, and Owen when playing for Real Madrid. I am not sure if you watched football when Zidane played, but you should watch if he used to pass ball more frequently than dribble past defenders to score. He wasn’t like Kaka.
@user-oo1ie4du5k I don't doubt he was a great player. But he had ups and downs and you'd expect better stats for someone of his talent.
@@mojebi3804 so you are one of those guys who rome around with a stats book?
Zidane has only scored 5 goals in his three world cups he played (1998/2002/2006), which is 0.42 (very poor) goals per game. Does that show his impact on those World Cup?
How about fk off?
Good content for a change where was some like thie when you talked bout southgate trent and foden for the entire euros
Mint podcast
I always laugh at Danny Murphy. He always makes every story about himself.
His story is about Zidane. He's just telling it from his perspective.
He always does it. Listen to him on match of the day etc. always turns what he is talking about into some story about himself. It’s funny.
Great story but Houllier NEVER oached Zidane. Also, the whole Europe was already aware of treble-winning Reds by then.Danny was great in this squad. 2000s football was something else.

he knew your name because zz ask gerard who's the worse player you've ever played with
mug Murphy😂
Best ever MARADONA
2nd. ZIDANE
rest nowhere ❤
Everyone knows your name - Gollum
I call cap. Bet he called him Murphy, the name on his shirt.
Well I don't know your name.. Did you ever play football.. Is it goalkeeper? For which club? But can you ever reach the ball? 😂😂😂
You know you're irrelevant in your field when you're gassed that someone who is relevant knows your name
You know you're relevant in your field when one of it's top stars knows your name.
@sebfox2194 you know you're relevant when you're the top star having people taliking about you 20 years later because you knew their name not the other way around
Think Danny is back on the old marching powder again.

not bad for a fake story.
Gerrard didn’t even feature in the game he’s on about 😂
proper bent!
Sounds like Bs

Oooh bald friends.
What is Danny on about. He wasn't a hard man. He was a fart.
Well Danny Murphy is so common name
This names come to mind when you think about a weirdo English hippie who drink beers all the time
