Zidane had the most intelligent and effortless ball control with huge impact. He delivered countless jaw dropping moments, without a doubt my favorite player of all time.
Zidane is the professor of football... The best playmaker of all time... Zidane can play in any team, with anyone and he will definitely make any team so much better...
@@perougr3165 if you really understand football, you should know who zidane and players are who are much better than messi.. old time football was much tougher competition.. not like today only messi and ronaldo , all just for the sake of consumption of children who just know about football.. and for you to know that messi's position is not a playmaker, messi's original position is a striker... When messi play in barcelona , he play in right wing forward , the playmaker is xavi and iniesta...
No show, no useless tricks, no dives, no drama, great private person, always fair (yes, his materazzi like scenes are ok and would be normal in Hockey)
Zidane was a poet with the ball and a winner through and through. A perfect mix of toughness and beauty. He was also the most clutch player I’ve ever seen play. His focus was insane.
@@palaHD Calm with the ball, he meant. Look how he touches it and dribbles effortlessly, looks like he's playing at home after a family meal a Sunday afternoon.
My favorite player of all time. He was ice cold with balls of steel in all the big moments. This video doesn't even show his Champions League Final winning left footed volley, or his panenka on Buffon in the world cup final. That's how good he was. "I am not one to ask to swap shirts. I asked, once...I asked Zidane." ~Lionel Messi
He is the best game maker I have seen.. with all the qualities required in football.. haven't seen any other who is as calm as him with the ball.. insane amount of ball control..
Pay attention kids. THIS is beautiful football. Not todays pace merchants crap you see on TV. Finesse, Panache, Intelligence, Composure ... This is fine art at its best.
Modern football can deal with the pace merchants crap because the players are more athletic & fit. Discipline & sport science have prolong the players' career & fitness. The time & space Zidane had with the ball is funny to the modern football. Not to mention the gap between the defenders & midfielders. Oh, don't let me start on pressing. Zidane is still one of the best, most influential & would certainly survive modern football. Just please, stop comparing the era
Absolutely. When you realize France won 98 world cup (zidane 2 head goals in final) and 2000 euro cup thanks to zidane mastery... but then in 2002 with relatively the same team, they couldnt even win a single match in group stages of world cup, because Zidane was injured... This team still had Barthez, Thuram, Mekelele, Henry, Trezeguet and so many legends, but without zidane fell apart... I think that proves his greatness... cheers dude
Ronaldo (both), messi and many others used to get a lot of praise but this guy is just brilliant.. I am a football player too so I can see and know how brilliant this guy is. Wish I could shake his hand some day
When I began to really get interested in football and become a true fan, it was zidane and ronaldhino that made me fall in love and be fascinated with the game . Both had truly unbelievable skill, were so technical- but the best part, they made it look effortless. Cr7, ronaldhino, zidane… and I don’t know why but neymar too, are my favorites of all time
J'ai habité à Cannes la Bocca jusqu'en 2010 pour aller vivre dans le 7eme arrondissement de Marseille et ce 10 février 1991 pour ton premier but en pro contre Nantes j'étais là au stade à Pierre de Coubertin donc autant dire que je suis fan de la première heure voire du premier jour. 🙏
Il est le meilleur de tous, tellement beau à voir jouer, même un match sans but, tu regardes juste Zidane avec le ballon et c'est génial ce qu il en fait. Quelle carrière, une légende vivante.
Zidane was elected Best Fifa Player in 2003 with Real and he was elected Best Fifa Coach in 2017 with Real, no one has achieved that, he has it with the Best Club in the World, in addition to have won 3 Champions League in a row 👍

@@abir95571 Zidane losing his cool or not would not change the result. Italy played better on the night and had a certain goal ruled marginally offside.

@@alberthuang4868 France were playing better by the end. Zidane was controlling the match. Hence, they had instructions to get physical with him. Materazzi said so himself. They had to curb his influence in the game. It worked out better than they had planned because he lost his cool. Otherwise, they would have definitely won in the extra time as they were getting closer to scoring with each passing minute.
@@alberthuang4868 If you understood football, you wouldn't call it an overstatement. Fergusson said so because Zidane is the best playmaker the world has ever seen. He controlled games - the pace, the tempo and the tactics. He was every coach's dream player. A number of coaches spoke of his on field intelligence, which he then showed as a manager.
Gatuso was like a bull and a kid while attacking zidane et he responded in a elegant way. I felt so proud to be french and lived the matches 1998 2000 and 2006 on tv.
My soccer-hating friends watched a bit of WC2006 because of my recommendation and came up to me after the Brazil game saying 'that Zidane guy is amazing!' They never became soccer fans but they made sure to watch every France game after that.
The harder they try to kick his shins or try to bring him down, the more determined he is to stay on his feet. Players today go down when a light breeze blows.
Zidane is the best played that I've ever seen and I think Zidane, Bergkamp and Baggio were different type of players than the rest. They were pure class.
He’s one of those players where you watch him and have to ask yourself “is football that difficult? Shouldn’t this be more difficult?” To say he was skilled is an understatement. He was something else entirely.
We don't see this kind of duals nowadays, aaaaah nostalgia, I remember that almost in every football game in the Era of Zidane, there was a big dual between two or more big players, and Zidane won all of them, that's why he's the boss.
Amidst all,I liked his confidence with the ball,no panicking with an assurance that no one can take t from him with agentalma pase and passing accuracy 👍he was aman for sure
I see some of Maradona’s ball techniques in his game at times. Efortless Brilliance is really the right description for him. Much Respect. Some very unique players are a Team on their own. He is deffinitly one of those. Much Love & Respect ✊
I watched football for over 25 years and from all the players I've seen so far Zidane impressed me the most. No one comes close to this guy.
Zidane had the most intelligent and effortless ball control with huge impact. He delivered countless jaw dropping moments, without a doubt my favorite player of all time.

Zidane is so special and talent. He can shoot, pass, dirbble with both leg, and also extremely body balancing that made him unstoppable
Love the way he played!!! I was never fan of Zidane ,now really appreciate what he achieved!!!
Zidane been the best player France ever had, i loved every minute of it. He has it all; very good control and ball tricks to fool the enemy.
Zidane's 2006 World Cup is an absolute masterclass. At his age he looked like a talented youngster.
I wish he won that world cup in Germany 2006 and also he won that world cup 1998 in France

He is just pure magic genius ZZ
I love how he misled other players without touching the ball but by just moving his body... Look how he humiliated Beckham 😆
