So many things made Zidane special. CR7 and Messi are great players, generational players even, and we’re lucky to have witnessed them, but Zidane was something else. Leadership wise alone, he made even Anelka fall in line. On top of being a great general, he was the most clutch player of all time. He had a huge impact in big decisive games, especially in finals. His mental focus was insane. He made big plays in big games, while toying with defenders like a puppeteer. I don’t care what the stats say, I’ve been watching soccer for 30 years, and no player made me love soccer more than ZZ.

I agree. Stats are only a part of what should be used to determine what makes a a player great or the argument of who is the best etc etc. But for me, Zidane and Zidane’s direct opponents around his level in his position are the best. To run a high level game in midfield consistently for over a decade these players should be classed as the best and Zidane was top of that list. The likes of Pirlo, Rui Costa, Effenburg, Scholes, Redondo ( and many more) are also my all time favourites also but are second to ZZ.

People always forget what made Zizou so special. Messi, Ronaldo, Maradona, Pelé and many else were/are exceptionnal. But they're individualities. What made Zidane particular is that he made the whole team better just by being on the pitch. I can't see anyone else than Cruyff in that area.

With Messi you see him moving quickly, with Zidane you see him caressing the ball around in a way that bamboozles the opposition, time appears to stop. He was a magician who did something other players couldn't. His reactions are only part of it, he has an insight into what's happening on the pitch that other players don't.

Zidane is a level above Ronaldinho and Ronaldo even. He beat one of the all time great international sides (1998 Brazil team) in the 1998 World Cup final by scoring a brace. He was player of the tournament in Euro 2000 and led France to championship. He won Real Madrid the Champions League in 2001 by scoring one of the most insane goals. He destroyed Brazil (who were reigning champions) again in the 2006 World Cup Quarter Final. He scored France's only goals in 2006 World Cup semi-final and final. I have no doubt he would have won them another one of he had stuck around. He wad MR. CLUTCH.

Some players have some aura, charisma and natural leadership that put them immediately over all others, I can't explain it, but Zidane has it, Maradona has it, pelé has it, then Beckenbauer, Cruyff, Platini, Zico. Players like cr7, messi, Ronaldinho, look like kids having fun on the field, explosives and fast, but something missing, that aura and giant leadership is not there. They run, dribble, pass and score, but they don't lead. I was counting lately messi's unnecessary goals in games where barca were in lead 3 or 4-0, and then he scores the fifth and maybe the sixth, I was amazed how many he has of those. In the old time, most goal scorers use to swap when the game is secured. Think about long term and team's best decisions instead of individual decisions. That why Zidane was ronaldo's best manager, he managed his time for the prime moment and won 3 champions league in the row. Zidane lead as a manager the same way he uses to lead as a player. Be patient, play your game, only the final score counts, play more intensive in the money time. Zidane always scored when everyone was desperate for a winning goal. He made us so happy at every goal he scored because it was a special moment, a victory moment, and always with magic touch and style. Zidane and Maradona my all time favorites.

@@erykmelgaard2226 When you make a comparison between players, first we need to set the parameters upon which they are compared. If you just want to compare trophies, there would not be any space for argument, since that's a factual analysis. Zidane excelled in one of the toughest defenses in Italy, then he was the galactico among the galacticos in Spain. In the International arena, the difference he made was clearly visible. France won everything with Zidane and they lost in the first round without Zidane. He decided the pace of France's game. Most of all he delivered in almost all the big games with his individual brilliance let it be any of the crucial free kicks or penalties or or the headers or the assists out of nowhere, he was the one who made the difference for his sides. He would merely run with ball, gives the ball, takes it back, Make a twist or turn, and suddenly there would be space out of nowhere. Such was his magic. He was undeniably the greatest of his generation. Can't say any of these about Iniesta who excelled under the tiki taka and mostly Xavi was the one who controlled the game. Iniesta was not even the best player in his team at Barca. Unlike Messi, both Xavi or Iniesta could not make it anywhere near their best before the prime or after the fall of tiki taka. They dominated the world together when tiki taka reigned supreme.

I'm a diehard Barça fan but if there was one player from Real Madrid that I wouldn't mind seeing in a Barça shirt, that player would be Zinedine Zidane. The man's footballing IQ is exceptional. He led France to their first ever FIFA World Cup in 1998 & was the playmaker for that special Madrid side of the early 2000s aka the Galacticos. He almost single handedly led France to another World Cup final in 2006 only for his emotions to get the best of him but I'll never forget how he made the likes of Kaka, Cafu, Ronaldinho, R9, Roberto Carlos etc look like amateurs in that tournament. Zidane was unique.

I don't like "the best player" thing because I think 1. Football is a collective, hence the achievement of any player isn't individual, 2 .not all players have the opportunity to play for a team full of other stars, 3. Not all great players played in similar or have same attributes, so all this makes comparison difficult. However, all I can say is that zizou was a different proposition-- has something that set him apart. He always seemed to have space because of close control and dancing body. It was like you see all those great players who dribble fast and score fast and use their physical attributes to maximise their ball skills, but him had his dance moves and brain which gave him space and time, and control of opponents. Zizou in front of his opponents was like an ancient Greek philosopher patronising his lesser villagers. Zidane wasn't just about effectiveness and winning, though he loved winning things, he enjoyed his football and loved to entertain. Despite his entertaining moves, he was against showboating and humiliating his opponents. I don't think we'll ever see someone with his skillset.

I like how Hazard says Burnley away is not easy ...... No matter the opponent .... You should always respect them
So many things made Zidane special. CR7 and Messi are great players, generational players even, and we’re lucky to have witnessed them, but Zidane was something else. Leadership wise alone, he made even Anelka fall in line. On top of being a great general, he was the most clutch player of all time. He had a huge impact in big decisive games, especially in finals. His mental focus was insane. He made big plays in big games, while toying with defenders like a puppeteer. I don’t care what the stats say, I’ve been watching soccer for 30 years, and no player made me love soccer more than ZZ.
absolutely ... words have not been created to describe his brilliance !!!
Absolutely agree! Just a class above. I love Messi and CR7 is great but ZZ was just class. He made me fall in love with watching football.
once again --- Absolute undefined Brilliance ... his play can leave you Speechless !!!
Maradonna Will always be the greatest footballer ever , but ZZ wow the elegance, the class , the style 👏
I agree. Stats are only a part of what should be used to determine what makes a a player great or the argument of who is the best etc etc. But for me, Zidane and Zidane’s direct opponents around his level in his position are the best. To run a high level game in midfield consistently for over a decade these players should be classed as the best and Zidane was top of that list. The likes of Pirlo, Rui Costa, Effenburg, Scholes, Redondo ( and many more) are also my all time favourites also but are second to ZZ.
He’s like Muhammad Ali. Yeah other fighters have broke his records and he’s lost a few times. But his style is poetry and takes peoples breath away.
So true
Indeed my friend uniqe actually
@@AntonioRodriguez-nq7ml For the experts, the best boxer in history is Sugar Ray Robinson. Ali is undoubtedly among the top 5, but he is not the best, only the most mediatic.

When Roy Keane & Paul scholes , two outstanding Man U midfielders show admiration for the talent of zidane . that sums it up. Lionel Messi in his whole career has only asked "One" player for his shirt .He asked Zidane.
People always forget what made Zizou so special. Messi, Ronaldo, Maradona, Pelé and many else were/are exceptionnal. But they're individualities. What made Zidane particular is that he made the whole team better just by being on the pitch. I can't see anyone else than Cruyff in that area.
100%. Rare players like that can elevate the standard of their team..from a 7/10 to a 8-9/10.....Yes Messi and Ronaldo are world class; but they in no way have the same presence that Zidane did/does. His managerial career results with Real M prove this...true leader.
If Roy Keane says you’re nasty then you know you’re nasty 😂
as sure as there is sand in the desert dude lol
Zidane is like Federer, he glides. His awareness and skill are, for me, untouchable. Simply the best.
Rio talking pure shit. I'll take elegance over explosiveness every day of the weak. With Messi you see him moving quickly, with Zidane you see him caressing the ball around in a way that bamboozles the opposition, time appears to stop. He was a magician who did something other players couldn't. His reactions are only part of it, he has an insight into what's happening on the pitch that other players don't.
Zidane is a level above Ronaldinho and Ronaldo even. He beat one of the all time great international sides (1998 Brazil team) in the 1998 World Cup final by scoring a brace. He was player of the tournament in Euro 2000 and led France to championship. He won Real Madrid the Champions League in 2001 by scoring one of the most insane goals. He destroyed Brazil (who were reigning champions) again in the 2006 World Cup Quarter Final. He scored France's only goals in 2006 World Cup semi-final and final. I have no doubt he would have won them another one of he had stuck around. He wad MR. CLUTCH.

@@karimuk1646no he is not. His father, yes but not Zizou. He is French, borned and raised in Marseille.
Some players have some aura, charisma and natural leadership that put them immediately over all others, I can't explain it, but Zidane has it, Maradona has it, pelé has it, then Beckenbauer, Cruyff, Platini, Zico. Players like cr7, messi, Ronaldinho, look like kids having fun on the field, explosives and fast, but something missing, that aura and giant leadership is not there. They run, dribble, pass and score, but they don't lead. I was counting lately messi's unnecessary goals in games where barca were in lead 3 or 4-0, and then he scores the fifth and maybe the sixth, I was amazed how many he has of those. In the old time, most goal scorers use to swap when the game is secured. Think about long term and team's best decisions instead of individual decisions. That why Zidane was ronaldo's best manager, he managed his time for the prime moment and won 3 champions league in the row. Zidane lead as a manager the same way he uses to lead as a player. Be patient, play your game, only the final score counts, play more intensive in the money time. Zidane always scored when everyone was desperate for a winning goal. He made us so happy at every goal he scored because it was a special moment, a victory moment, and always with magic touch and style. Zidane and Maradona my all time favorites.
When Zidane played, beauty was one the pitch. I used to hear from this biker who didn't like football, but he said I love Zidane. Its like Michelangelo was on the pitch painting the Sistine Chapel. In the 2002 Champions League Final, its was like God dropped the ball from heaven and said "Create Art Zidane". I never was astonished in football like that day.

Of his generation yes. Over other generations, include Cruyff and Puskas.
Hey Rio Ferdinand : the very reason Zidane was one of the greatest IS his lack of explosiveness. He's the only one of them all who didn't have that quality which made it easier for the other ones. He made it to the very top on a sheer class basis.
i agree with ferdinand. hes not in top 5 if u think of messi, cristiano, r9, maradona , ronaldinho. ZIdane and iniesta is a strong debate but most people would think its dumb because idane is from the older generation. i feel iniesta is even more unique cause hes a 5"7 little guy whos not quite as strong or tall as 6"1 zidane and yet u cant get the bal of iniesta in his prime also
Iniesta was great but doesn’t reach Zidane to his ankles
@@aageseljegard8730 why ? I disagree As a player Iniesta has more trophies, both won a world cup but Iniesta has 2 euro trophies, 4 champions Leagues and both were amazing midfielders Iniesta is underrated by some, to say he is WAY better, I can't agree.
@@erykmelgaard2226 When you make a comparison between players, first we need to set the parameters upon which they are compared. If you just want to compare trophies, there would not be any space for argument, since that's a factual analysis. Zidane excelled in one of the toughest defenses in Italy, then he was the galactico among the galacticos in Spain. In the International arena, the difference he made was clearly visible. France won everything with Zidane and they lost in the first round without Zidane. He decided the pace of France's game. Most of all he delivered in almost all the big games with his individual brilliance let it be any of the crucial free kicks or penalties or or the headers or the assists out of nowhere, he was the one who made the difference for his sides. He would merely run with ball, gives the ball, takes it back, Make a twist or turn, and suddenly there would be space out of nowhere. Such was his magic. He was undeniably the greatest of his generation. Can't say any of these about Iniesta who excelled under the tiki taka and mostly Xavi was the one who controlled the game. Iniesta was not even the best player in his team at Barca. Unlike Messi, both Xavi or Iniesta could not make it anywhere near their best before the prime or after the fall of tiki taka. They dominated the world together when tiki taka reigned supreme.

No he isn't lol
I'm a diehard Barça fan but if there was one player from Real Madrid that I wouldn't mind seeing in a Barça shirt, that player would be Zinedine Zidane. The man's footballing IQ is exceptional. He led France to their first ever FIFA World Cup in 1998 & was the playmaker for that special Madrid side of the early 2000s aka the Galacticos. He almost single handedly led France to another World Cup final in 2006 only for his emotions to get the best of him but I'll never forget how he made the likes of Kaka, Cafu, Ronaldinho, R9, Roberto Carlos etc look like amateurs in that tournament. Zidane was unique.
I agree with everything, except that R9 was already in the latest stage of his career after many injuries, less motivation also, but Zidane said R9 to be better than him. Zidane is definitely one of the greatest ever though.
Him being French is sole reason I still root for France I'm not even French 2006 WC still lives in my memories Only if it had a better ending
Me too
That drama ending is parto of the Man's amazing destiny. He was a hero in 1998 and 2006 is another end that add to the incredible story of the man Nobody can blame him. We still love him He is only human
There are players who were better skilled, but his impact on the pitch with any team is still unmatched. He was a genius of football. Probably one of the most well rounded players ever. Watching him on the field gave anyone goosebumps. You just always believed he could do anything with the ball when he received it
If Scholes and Ronaldinho are asked if they had the opportunity to pick one player they would’ve liked to play with and they say Zizou then any internet troll should 🤫

Rio you’re getting twisted mate
Dans Zidane ,en plus du virtuose de la feinte ,du dribble ,il y a la vue du jeu. En plus de la vue du jeu il y a l'intelligence qui rayonne de ce qu'il fait. C'est pour ça que je mettrai Zidane au dessus de Messi ,joueur incroyable . Sans le minimiser ,j'ai l'impression que Messi est doté d'une habileté au delà de l'imagination,mais je sens plus la pensée , la réflexion à la seconde ,en pleine action chez Zidane . Ne parlons pas des feintes qu'il invente tout le temps. Pelé , Maradona ...zidane.mon trio forever.
Zidane was absolutely amazing
Maradona was unreal and will probably go down as the GOAT. But man oh man... watching Zidane was like watching a pro vs amateurs. He just made it look so damn easy. Unbelievable touch, vision, strength and ball control for a big fella! He just hardly ever gave away the ball! Riquelme had some of Zizou’s qualities but wasn’t nearly as good as him. It’s between Maradona, Zidane, Pele, Ronaldo No.9, and Messi. Second tier would be Zico, Cryuff, Ronaldinho, CR7, Best, and De Stefano.
Even Roman acknowledged Zizou's greatness and fine touch. He was delightful to watch. I remember, after Brazil vs France 2006, all my friends and I went to play football and tried to emulate Zidane's moves. Great memories .
Timing master in everything he does. He makes the ball dance and seems to have every player position sending echoes to his inner radar. An artist on top of a fantastic player.
Like ... SLOW but fast MATRIX Style Zizou is NEO
Zidane is like puppet master.. He can influence the entire game single handedly. That generation was something else...
Zidane made love to football, he made the simplest things look amazing. I'll forever be a Raul fan but man watching zizou control the ball was something special.
Zidane is why I love football. Even as coach he can lead the new generation galacticos too. He would excel in any era.
ZIDANE:s strenght is his mastermind and vision ..the fact that he could make a fool of you even when his moving slowly ...unlike most of legendary players like messi cristiano ..ronaldinho...ronaldo 9. ..he didn;t need to be fast to eliminate you ... he could make a fool of you just by doing the most unexpected thing at the last moment ...and leave u completely lost in the pitch ...the guy had the extremely rare ability of seing and anticipating what u gonna do before you even do it ...GENIUS
What a great tribute for Zidane. He deserves it for having captured every single athlete 's imagination with his pure MAGIC. Tanmirt Zizou!!
His the 🐐🐐
There are a lot of incredible players but Zidane was special. With him the other 10 players in the team became good. He was magic. Nobody did what he did in 2006. He came out of retirement to resurrect a team that was not winning any more games and that risked not qualifying for the World Cup. The rest is history. If Zidane had won that World Cup, imagine how he would be considered today.
I don't like "the best player" thing because I think 1. Football is a collective, hence the achievement of any player isn't individual, 2 .not all players have the opportunity to play for a team full of other stars, 3. Not all great players played in similar or have same attributes, so all this makes comparison difficult. However, all I can say is that zizou was a different proposition-- has something that set him apart. He always seemed to have space because of close control and dancing body. It was like you see all those great players who dribble fast and score fast and use their physical attributes to maximise their ball skills, but him had his dance moves and brain which gave him space and time, and control of opponents. Zizou in front of his opponents was like an ancient Greek philosopher patronising his lesser villagers. Zidane wasn't just about effectiveness and winning, though he loved winning things, he enjoyed his football and loved to entertain. Despite his entertaining moves, he was against showboating and humiliating his opponents. I don't think we'll ever see someone with his skillset.
If Zidane played now in his prime he would cost 250 million minimum what a player

Zizou, quel talent! Contrôle du ballon dans toutes les positions, la conduite de balle géniale. Bon des deux pieds et de tête... un mental de champion , un cœur, un chevalier, un poète, un homme qu'il ne faut pas emmerder et manquer de respect .. merci zizou...
Simply put here. The best or among the 3 best for many of the greatest players ... Says enough.
As I'm too young to see him play but hearing from others my goodness he was a player
My hero legend unbelievable to watch
Zizou is like a football god, a divinity the highest little of a footballer. Stays on the top as mystical mythical figure like in the history of humanity. Maybe after few centuries if we lose all records. His name will be taken like those Greek, Roman and North African mythical gods.
Zidane, R9 and Ronaldhino were pure magicians of football and greatest football players of their generations.
I really loved the subtitles for Ronaldinhos interview 😐
Thank you for this rare compilation 🤗
You're very welcome. I'm glad you liked it :)
so every top player who played the game says Zidane is one of the greatest or the one player they would of love to play with expect rio shows you how much of a muppet he is and he's supposed to be a so called expert pundit Zidane definitely in the top three players to ever play the game on this planet could do things with a football that some professionals dream off
Larry Bird saying that Zizou is a Legend almost made me cry
it was really about him ?
Wow the clip with Zidane hanging out with Pelé and Maradona !
I like how Hazard says Burnley away is not easy ...... No matter the opponent .... You should always respect them
That was belgian sarcasm ;)
@@nbelgium hope that was English sarcasm 😂
