My favorite player of all time. A true artist. And this compilation makes you appreciate how he was able to dribble and keep possession through so many players in the midfield. Imagine if he only had to do it in the last third of the pitch, he would have probably scored buckets.
@@rinamapa My favourite player too, alongside Bergkamp, he is the most graceful player of all time. Unlike Bergkamp he is in the top 5 players of all time imo.
Those that really know Zidane watched him play. Clips don't do him justice. It seemed like, only zizou knew what he could do. I've never seen a player at his very best as good as Zidane at his peak. When he's in that element he's absolutely unplayable. Zidane was the best player in a team that had R9, Figo,Raul, Beckham, R. Carlos. That team had a combined (7x fifa player of the year). Yet!. The difference btw Zidane and most greats is that. Zidane had an inexplicable knack of producing his best when it mattered the most. The bigger the occasion, the more his wizardry. It seemed like he could turn up the heat when he really wanted to.
@@uwemudofia2419 absolutely... .the man didnt even need to run on the pitch...iv hardly seen him sprint...he just floats and glides past ppl like they arent there...and for sm1 that size to do that....incredible
The chest control against Portugal at euro 2000… ball coming from behind and he literally spinned as he controlled it Is on of the most beautiful things I saw on a football pitch
@@erich3784 Fact! And here's another fun tidbit: In this particular game, Zidane was injured and was actually instructed by team doctors that he shouldn't play this game. If you noticed, his right thigh is wrapped in bandages.
Not the only one. There was one more player called Puskás. Pelè said that England came up with football as a game and Hungary taught the world how to play it.
What I loved about this game is that Brazilian recognized his talent and said publicly there were shocked how good he was. No trash talking or nothing . Makelele was also something against Brazil.
He is one player that makes your money and time well spent, forget the trophies , goals, assists etc but just watching him play made it all worth it !!! One of those who put the beauty in the "Beautiful Game" that is football !!
He was the rolls royce of a midfielder, that elegance, first touch ahh,players used to run with the ball he used to glide with it .france is known foŕ two things that mobile tower and second zizou.he was just poetry in motion ,pure pure orchastrator....
Im 46 and never seen a player as good as Zidane. Put it like this other players have more titles but he was to football what Federer is to tennis others have won more but they play the game so beautifully like silk . Best player I've ever seen.
The thing about Zidane was the efficiency of his touches. Most great dribblers are smaller and quicker and more agile with the ball, and seem to take more touches. Zidane seemed to take less touches but every touch was the perfect touch. Watching him on the ball was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in football.
Elegant . No one plays like him . Surrounded by few players , still he can away effortlessly. Messi , maradona , Ronaldo used speed in order to pass the defenders . But zidane just danced effortlessly , and his first touch , like Paul scholes mentioned has always be in direction he wanted . He can dribble , pass and shoot . There were times he dribbled the opponent without touching the ball . That is how good he was
The best player I have ever seen and I am 39! If I was making a dream team he would be the first name on my sheet without question and I'd build the whole team around him!
I'm 34, I saw a handful of Zizou games, when I was a kid, and in some he was great and in others he was ghosting. I guess every great player has games like these, so nevermind. Aside from all that, as much as I love Zizou, Messi particularly in the Pep years displayed clearly the highest level of football I've seen by an individual player. I saw other players play at Zizou's level. Rivaldo at the 2002 WC, Nedved between 02-04, Dinho between 03-06, Pirlo at the 06 WC, Kaka between 05-07, Iniesta between 08-12, Sneijder in 2010. I've never seen a player, play on Messi's level 2008-2013. Maybe Maradona did in the 80s, but I'm too young to have witnessed that live.
@@JarrettMehldau My dear friend, to each his own. I have no problem with Messi being no1 and ZZ no2, but from your answer you don't completely understand the magnitude of Zidane. He had never bad games, he had good, very good and excellent. He was a defensive mid-fielder in essence who happened to be ALSO one of the 3 best "10" in history. He guarded players from 1st min until the very end, double-teaming and helping the defenders to steal the ball a lot of times..something Messi and Cristiano have only achieved in video games. What "ghosting" are you talking about?! Zidane from 1997 - 2002 was the best player on the planet, at the same level as Messi's 2008 - 2013. Pirlo and the whole Italian squad was embarrassed by ZiZou who manhandled them(at age 34) and he basically "gifted" them the WC trophy by headbutting Materazzi P. S. NONE of the players you mentioned(minus Messi) reached Zidane's level P. S.2 You forgot R9 who was the best player on the planet from 1994 -1997 and it's the closet thing to the 2 GOATs(you are NOT that young to have missed him..in any case find footage from that era.. the guy singlehandedly won the WC in 2002 with 2 major injuries while being overweight by 12 kilos)
@@pantelisliakos2481I saw R9 at the 2002 WC, but mentioned Rivaldo, because Rivaldo played equally brilliant and being the playmaker he had a more similar role to Zidane. Also being German I didn't see a lot of Serie A in the 90s, so unfortunately I missed witnessing R9's pre-injury peak at the time. However from rewatching his highlights I could clearly see, what an alien he was with his unique combination of speed and Brazilian technique and how revolutionary his style was. Talentwise I'd rate R9 top 3 with Leo, Diego. Regarding the 2006 final: I assume, most of us watched it back then from the perspective of Zizou being the "main character", he was after all the biggest star on the field, he undeniably had that special aura surrounding him, and this was his last dance. But I recently rewatched the whole thing, and came to the conclusion, that Pirlo had a slightly better game than Zizou. All of Pirlo's passes were pinpoint accurate including his corner kicks, one of which was his assist to Materrazi, and Pirlo's body feints were just as elegant. I felt Pirlo had less turnovers than Zizou too, and Zizou had two Ballon D'Or worthy players at his disposal in Henry and Ribery, but failed to produce an ingame goal, so that's a bit of a blemish imo. Btw Pirlo was brilliant throughout the tournament, remember his assist to Fabio Grosso in the semis. Yeah, you're probably right about Zizou's workrate being superior to Messi's and Cristiano's in games were he couldn't shine offensively, so "ghosting" is probably not an appropriate word here. As for his lesser games, did he do much in the UCL finals against Dortmund and Madrid? I also remember Nedved outplaying him in the 2003 semis at Stadio Delle Alpi. And Zizou was kinda invisible against Greece in 2004, wasn't he? I know this is horribly nitpicky, so please excuse me here. After all I rate Zizou top 7 all time.
The best description of Zizou was probably by Cisse. That’s exactly what the man was. He had perfect technique and had every technique in the book of football and more. He made it look like he was playing a different game to everybody else. It was like watching Sugar Ray Robinson box. It’s not the same thing that everybody is doing. Ronaldinho and Maradona were magicians and it was like watching Harlem globe trotters in the league. Whereas Zizou was like someone playing the game against kids when in actuality he was playing against the best in the world.
the amazing thing Zidane does like no other is that he always charges forward takes one or two players down generates space and makes magic, his elegant touch is unparalleled just a couple of simple touches makes the toughest defence in chaos
His performance in the wc match v Brazil 🇧🇷 in 2006 was the single greatest performance of any footballer ever he glided across the pitch words can't describe how good he was my favourite player of all time 👏
I forgot how amazing Zizu was at his time at Juve. This video reminded me. He was absolutely ridiculous. I would take that Zidane over CR7 or Messi. And Messi is arguably the GOAT. But for me Zidane is the very best
Un plaisir de le voir jouer, toute mon enfance je l'ai regardé, adoré. Surtout le match contre le Bresil en 2006, c'etait une merveille ! On se demande s'il est humain
When you got Roy Keane’s Respect and you hear Paul Scholes saying he didn’t like playing against him - that’s all you need to know. ZiZu was a Magician
I've never seen a player who just literally never gives the ball away like zidane. The ball is glued to him. And if too many people surround him he manages to get pass away to one of his teammates, every time, very very impressive
Zidane was the main reason why I even started watching football back in the days. He wasn't doing anything super special like others, everything he did was simple, but at the same time it looked perfect. I wish I could time travel back and watch him play again🤔🤔🤔
@@Fred-zx3qb Easily. If he had won a second WC in 2006, I would have put him second all time behind Pele. As we lost in the final, he's only 3rd to me behind Maradona.
Happy to see the clips are mostly from his Juventus years, when he was even better than at Real Madrid and faced the best players in the world, 90% of whom played in the Italian Serie A
he is one of the best of all time and simply the best playmaker in football history...I used to watch PL during my early football years because PL was the only league shown on TV...but once I saw him, there is only 1 footballer that I admire ever since...in school, I played in midfield because of ZZ, I modeled my game like ZZ copying all his moves...he was the reason I supported Real Madrid and France and still an avid supporter to this day...and as well as why I only wear Adidas boots..and coincidentally though not by choice, now i sport a bald head 😂
It's remarquable the number of players that try and tackle him in this video and... Not even close ! Most of the time they're just takling in the void...
I watched many greats religiously. I think messi is the most skilled player ever, most freakish player ever, Best South American player, but Zizou is the best of the best. For me, The Top 5 I watched in my lifetime=> 1-Zidane 2-Messi 3-Maradona 4-Brazilian Ronaldo 5-C.Ronaldo.
I think Michael Owen described him best in this compilation. Give Zidane a ball from any direction and he'll bring it down and play. A genius with his technique and balance but he was elegance above all else. The most beautiful to ever play the game.
Also Zidane made France playing like a team. After he retired they suffered, and struggeled. As the saying goes, "you dont miss the good things, untill they are gone."
This is the best Zidane compilation I think I’ve ever seen. No trash music, over the top slow mo edits, just real time Zidane with his contemporaries acknowledging his greatness.
Epic comp!!! 9:05 omfg. Love Zizou-lately I’ve been saying 1. Pelé 2. Messi 3. Zizou, but f it-Zizou’s my no. 1! 💪🏼🇫🇷…love the description of his “nasty” stare if you tried tackling 😅
In addition to his playing prowess, all football players liked and looked up to him. Zidane was the only player, according to Messi, who he requested for his shirt.
I know right. He’s everything you’d want to be on a football pitch, makes it seem easy but when you do get on the pitch, you’ll realise that you never have enough space and time. And yet this man does it flawlessly.
A lot of never seen footage of him in Juventus. That's the time when he was head and shoulders above everybody else. He was kind of a 6,3 feet Maradona... But it was only the very beginning of internet use by the masses. TH-cam didn't even exist back then... So you maybe only had access to very short footage of any given Juve match. The goals and nothing more. And that's the reason why he's not up there with the Messis and R7 in the youngest football lovers rankings. You wouldn' see that kind of crazy skills compilations. But I have no doubt that, had he played at the same time as Messi and R7, he would be up there with them despite of not scoring many goals. Because he had almost as much magic in his feet as Maradona. And that's saying an aweful lot... Best midfielder ever. For me one of the 5 or 6 greatest alltime players and my favorite of them all.
Great description from Scholes about the stare. It must have been quite intimidating to play against him. What a player he was though, one of my all time faves.
It’s too bad there aren’t many fans if both ice hockey and football… because the way players talk about him is exactly like hockey players speak of Jaromir Jagr.
When you re the captain of a team with players like casillas, ronaldo, figo, raul, beckham, makelele and some others (long list) it s the biggest proove that you re the best.
That performance against a Brazil team full of stars in 2006 is perhaps the best individual performance I've ever seen
Me too!
Same, and what makes it more incredible, is that he make out of retirement
And he actually came out of retirement to do that😂😂
Already retired but year
France 98 final also...the man was brazil's cryptonite
As a Juventus fan these clips bring tears to me eyes. I feel so nostalgic watching this video.
This is an absolutely excellent compilation. Loads of bits of skill that I haven't seen before from him. What a genius.

Glad you enjoyed it
Great description from Scholes about the stare. It must have been quite intimidating to play against him. What a player he was though, one of my all time faves.
Thanks for the great summary it talks for itself
It’s too bad there aren’t many fans if both ice hockey and football… because the way players talk about him is exactly like hockey players speak of Jaromir Jagr.
His first touch though 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
For me Zizou is better than Messi and CR7. Without question and it’s not even a debate for me.
Many english and french players are talking here but a lot of brazilian players just say the very same thing.
Best footballer 4 me, Zidane baba
Every Italian’s favourite French player.
He played like a God..another dimension.
those 9 minutes and 25 seconds went by like nothing

Roy Keane is a legend my tactic when playing against Zidane was just kick um I'm in stitches GGMU
love Ribery as well and George Best and the dutch guy
EVRA described it perfectly 'he had some flexible end of touch'.
great comp sir
Great video
el maestro zidane
I think zidane matches messi in every quality except from speed
Football is missing something since he retired.
As a full package the best in the world, ever!
3 Times Ballon d'or winner for a reason....
My first love in football.
Zidane makes Gazza look like Harry Maguire.
When you re the captain of a team with players like casillas, ronaldo, figo, raul, beckham, makelele and some others (long list) it s the biggest proove that you re the best.
You can update this video now that Messi and Zidane interview came out.
Might upload one with all the non-English quotes
Watched many but came back to look for him again and again 😅
THE BEST IN ALL TIME WITH MARADONA , I HAVE NO DOUBTS!
The most efficient player.
The perfect AM
He's just ridiculous !
