@8Uae He stamped his authority in three outstanding tournaments. I would call your comment the 'Zidane triptych'.
A new midfield maestro in the 98 final. The consumate genius, with flashes of extraordinary technique in 2000, the returning veteran, inspiring his team to the Final of the World Cup in 2006.
The 2006 one was like Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, returning to kick some serious butt!! I've twinges of sorrow for the awesome headbutt, it was a dark verse in the grand poem.
@urbanoproductions I totally wanted Portugal to win 2000, & that penalty made me angry and feel they were robbed. But looking back, since Zizou really went stratospheric with Juventus,, deep down I really knew Zidane was the dominator of this game, with that majestic ball-control and vision. Portugal were unlucky to lose, it was a narrow loss for sure. I am still a great admirer of that brilliant team, Vitor Baia, Joao Pinto, Figo, Rui Costa and Nuno Gomes, my favourite striker that time :(
great video love that roulette vs czech. 3 players around him amazing. can u make video of zizou in juventus u know his passing,touchesplz. there r vids of his juve days but they r just abt goals.couple of skills thats all. i hope u can make a long video he spent 5 years in turin. all zizou fans will be waiting for ur video.thx again for the video.
@imranmushtaq1 You were lucky to see at the same time, both the might of Zizou, and the extraordinary Pavel Nedved. that match ticket was a worthy one.. Nedved was unlucky against Holland in the group game, I remember watching his header hitting the upright of the goal. 'Mai dire gol'...
@MahoneAl I know, the previous comment from imranmushtaq1 said ' love that roulette vs czech', so I meant that game where Zizou and Nedved were in the same match (on opposing teams)?
@MrMofo4eva blimey Nedved was a world class player. I never said he was as good as Zidane. You're imagining it.. mrMofo u type like one. winning an argument with bad language on youtube.. what does that show? nothing..
I don't understand why he wasn't chosen like the BALLON d'OR 2000, he was the best player at that time, they chose Figo ! Look at 16:53 what he did to him !
@DIESIOCHETA I think Figo maybe deserved it another year, equally with Rivaldo for Barca... but absolutely, Zidane was The best player in the world in 2000, and again, in fact 2006!! He is of the calibre of Maradona and Pele. Of superior genius to Platini, who was most complete creative number 10 Europe had produced in previous decades (more than Baggio, Hagi, Bergkamp, Scifo or Matthaus) before ZZ. Zidane can be compared with Di Stefano in his athleticism, technique, command and vision.
I was lucky to be at the France - Czech republic game in bruges , the whole experience was fantastic , from the brilliant zidane to the fact that fans were swapping shirts after the game outside the ground.
@soullimbo I remember watching that game on the BBC, I remember Lineker, Hansen and Lawrenson spent a few minutes at half-time watching clips of some of the stuff Zidane pulled off in the first half.
wc2002 was supose to be zidane's fucken injury prevented him
