Beautiful BBC Zinedine Zidane Montage

[raulorton95]

He gave up the world cup for his dignity.

Zidane will be always remembered

[AstonVilla82thebest]

France deserved this more than Italy.

[Unterschiedliche]

I really miss Zidane!!

Damn it, why did I have to watch this video, now I remembered 1 of the worst days in my life.. FUCK YOU MATERAZZI

[glasgowchris007]

class



[TheoO18]

wow I loved the quote ;) True that

[TaYLoRBReaKouT]

His successor is on the way:

Enzo Zidane

[Haloforeverful]

wots the music from 1:10

[kyle887923]

france should have won, materazzi stole it for italy. I dont care what anyone says, if Zidane stayed on france would have won and italy would have lost and no one would have had to hear the italians rave about it for four years. and even after their early exit this year they are still bragging about this world cup, in 2034 they will still be talking about this when lippi dies from old age

[kinni85]

FUCK YOU MATERAZZI. FUCK YOU.

[xxBigBossxx2009]

ZeZo <33333

[ImAlgerianDoSomethin]

ZIDANE = <3

[TwistedArmco]

Is it me, or does this video use some clips from Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait?

[SirDaniel666]

beautiful

[Asphyyxia]

This video demonstrates that Zidane was much more than a footballer; he was also a great thinker and he didn't care if the whole world hated him for what he did, he simply had the same inclination we all have to stand up for what is right, justice, not disgrace. This man was a Philosopher of football, truly outstanding.

[santoritime0]

cool!

[albanellita]

Materazzi fiyo della gran mignotta, hai fatto una cazzata torrone di merda. Sei una vergogna per l'Italia.

[Deanocfc]

Since seeing him at France 98 when I was 7 years old he's always been my footballing idol.

[kashattack]

Zidane will always be remembered as a legend. Materazzi will be remembered forever as a cock sucker.

[ellbo2]

No doubt one of the greatest footballers ever.

[sergiovalle21]

wow....BBC makes great video...to bad i live in the western hemisphere i don't have BBC :(

[weatherallc05]

zidane is still a legend after what he did, just true to say theirry henry is brilliant even after handballing. class of them is just permanently brill

[TheDjiyou10]

thanks Zizou

[yarismaniaco]

Materazzi NO ERES NADA!! Zidane un genio

[playwonderful]

best player ever

[ifoboys]

He is a true legend of the beautiful game.

[bennib5]

what is the music??

[oliverecords]

Peace from France, and thanks on behalf of Zidane for all the positive comments.

I prefer madness and a little out-freakage than stupidity and lack of talent.

It ended the wrong way but the real football lovers won't forget what he has to be really remembered for.

[asoxedri]

this man is in a league of its own. he is the legend of legends.

[midbsaj]

Such a shame Zizou won't be at the world cup this year. Won't be the same without him.

[harryspooner]

Materazzi is one big @@@@@, italy shouldn't have won 06, but farewel zizou

[uvom2]

That was emotional...

[SoLiDSMitH1608]

That was actually really really good...makes me wish he was still playing...such class...such excellence...Such a shame he had to go and do that in the final...but the quote is so true. Look at Einstein for instance :D

[prontopizza]

just great.

[klemwaddle]

great montage .

if your not french you can't  really understand the emotion french peoples "who love football " feel when they watching a video like that , he give to us so much ,i hope before i die , feel the same things during a world cup or a euro cup .for a lot of french , 1998 was a legendary years !!!!

sry for my english lol7

[balarama77]

whats the music at the beginning?

[littlespencedogg]

From the soundtrack to Cinderella Man

by Thomas Newman

entitled: All Prayed Out

[balarama77]

thanks its brilliant!!

[DesertFox1994]

i love the quote at the end

it seems when u have the gift of absolute greatness,

there have to be demons that attack you from the inside.

ZIdane is the greatest football legend to ever live.

[asku23]

@DesertFox1994

good observation einstein,i didnt get that from the video

[EnzoLuca10]

Beautiful!

[TheProudPaki]

he is my ideal!!!

[zomgbat]

fuck up john motson

[zomgbat]

fuck up gary linekar

[ehsanaman222]

ZIZOU WE LOVE YOU!!!!

[LoReBeSt93]

I'm italian but for me Zidane was the best player ever

[warriorprince1010]

He always rose to the biggest occasion, a real great.

[MrMofo4eva]

zidane.... you are my hero dude

[asku23]

@MrMofo4eva

a "hero cannot also be a "dude",learn inglise por favor

[folleggiando]

violent=stpuid...I'm sorry...Zizou was great..I loved his soccer...but this is not justifiable

[MrMofo4eva]

doing drugs and handballing the ball to score a goal is justifiable tho isnt it? considering we call a cheating coke head midget the best player of all time. yes great player but not better than Zidane. ZIdanes the man. for me and many other people who are now realising. ur looking at the best player to ever ever grace the game

[riverrocks]

Hitting Materazzi for any reason is ALWAYS justifiable. I swear people need to get a grip - this is NOT that violent. Poor Zizou. For all the grief he got he should have hit that ugly horse face Materazzi even harder.

[Sophoklis]

and who are you, follegiando? Jesus?!

no emotions = stupid

[TheEvilPadawan]

Best way to end a career. Good job Zizou :D

[AirballAdam]

Zizou, see you in Toronto JUNE 25th 2009

[irfaanfr1]

ZIZOU IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[irfaanfr1]

yeah i know!!

[superjuan07]

commentator says at the end; "zidanes career is a disgrace"

is he fuckin kidding? that made him even a bigger legend

[peterc10]

No he didn't, he said "Zidane's career ENDS in disgrace". Yeesh...

[reddevilz1991]

no he said it ends IN disgrace.

[xiyuemaa]

cried when he got sent off :'(

[micaa30]

the cup final was on my birthday and i wished that france would have won the title. i wont never forget the disappointment when i saw zidane, my favourite footballer headbutting materazzi. but now later i kind of understand why he did it .

[adel5zidane]

i like this guy ,he's n 1 in football history

i miss him so much

long live legend zizou

we will see him again in real madrid next year but in different job

[anup313]

genius of a video...

[inthegroove1985]

he got the biggest cheer from the french at their world cup homecoming party. i remeber when he was about to take a peno against england and he got sick 3 times then went up and buried the peno,what a bloke he's a hero.

[SireBogart]

In some twisted way, his final moments of competitive football sealed his place as a genius of the game rather than tarnishing his reputation. Id say the furore surrounding his actions probably did as much for it as winning the World Cup as part of the team would have.

As the quote attests, geniuses are ultimately flawed - like most mere mortals - but it does a lot more in adding to their intrigue, seeing their more human moments.

Doing that on the grandest stage of them all.. words failed.

[88821jj]

yea agreed, i think the moment of madness (headbutt) red card and sending off in his final career game in the biggest single sporting match in the world, you cant do more to get remembered than that :P not even winning the cup itself

[TBONE889]

wow

[kisbie]

Motty actually says that his career ENDS in disgrace - which it did - not IS in disgrace. That would be silly.

[foad10hame]

some special touch of madness

- what a video

[laffelskates]

I know the music starting at 40ish seconds is from Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind....does anyone know who made that track???

[hendriksmj]

There were three pieces, firstly All Prayed Out by Thomas Newman from the Cinderella Man soundtrack, then Book Store by Jon Brion from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, then finally Dear Clarice from the Hannibal Soundtrack.

[STUFFMAN720]

@hendriksmj fyi John Motson says, Zidane's career ends in disgrace. Just wanted to point that out just in case. And as we all know, this is something Materazzi should be blamed for.

[MoVeZ54]

I'm french and here Zizou is a national hero !

[TH7]

1.15 to the end is freaky n chilling, the music and the flashbacks of him winning in the WC in 98 and the good old dayz wher he played for Juventus n ran their whole team, Its true there is no genius without a touch of madness. Zidane is the best player ever to grace the earth, France is neva the same no more.

[bukowinka]

Legend

[pac232]

I hate to listen to a bunch of English hooligans known throughout the history by their bad influence on football criticising a legend for a moment of insanity. Get a reality check people.

[zetros]

In total agreement.

[khuffash]

Grande Zidane, Legend..

[Tdizzle2009]

well sed R700bG7

tht rite he was the best

[gipcambero]

"bookstore" jon brion

[xxpattytech]

[youtoo2oo]

So good, perfect quote.

[SupermanKryptoneson]

There is No Great Genius

Without Some Critics Dogs from TV world

[R700bG7]

There is No Great Genius

Without Some Touch Of Madness

[T90]

fucking italian scum

[jaybreezy171]

[Guerillaradio13]

@jaybreezy171 if im right in thinking so yes or it was his sister

[SmileyDubstep]

@T90 sta zitto cagna

[gipcambero]

tu mfais encore pleurer Zizou !

[pszit]

Best player ever!!! People should consider his great play and forgot about his weakness!!!!

[zizoubilly]

Think islam is bad?

or

Have any questions on islam?

Contact me

[AWSAL910]

recruiting?

[frenchyback]

he is a genius

[laaauuureeens]

didnt deserve that, its just one thing that put a mark on a great career, if you only remember this one thing then its unfortunate because you're ignoring one of the best footballers ever

[NLbusiness]

the music is jon brion- bookstore

it's from the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind soundtrack

[CrazyBear888]

music remix >> /watch?v=fOZGaVfa0gM

[unothelaw]

superb player but he's done crap like that before and got away with it. justice.

[eri88mari]

kinda true, but in case you haven't noticed, many of the best players sneak in a cheat or 2. just watch any experienced and seasoned player who picks the stuff up with experience. its just that in this case, it was on the biggest stage in history (including tv broadcasting)

[unothelaw]

can't believe my comment has 6 thumbs down, it makes me wonder how people see the world.

[hovis3264]

materazzi deserved it . nobody should have the right to insult another persons family

thanks for posting this vid its by far my favourite

[ZenaideXanthe]

Zidane...a true Legend!!

[bullfaak123]

arguably the best player ever

[davidt88]

what is the music on this

[hendriksmj]

There were three pieces, firstly All Prayed Out by Thomas Newman from the Cinderella Man soundtrack, then Book Store by Jon Brion from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, then finally Dear Clarice from the Hannibal Soundtrack.

[M0ViZ]

where can i find and download bbc's videos  please ?

[theplayfullgirl]

with the new realplayer or maybe from the website.

[FRANKYBOI1989]

wow....

[ASRbrasil]

this is the best video ever created

[trcinho]

stupid english maggots, their midfielders can clean Zidane's shoes

[Xbulelo]

Slovenia? Where the hell are you, dickhead? The video was a compliment you misinterpreting, illiterate fuck-wit.

[shoaibzidane]

they say diamonds are real and forever

I say Zidane is real and forever...

[beeninsane]

Zidane and Jon Brion (the music in the middle) is perfection.

[Robinhooo]

The best player ever, a GENIUS!

[ecapa0020]

However, the World Cup is in Rome and not in Paris!! The fact is that France lost the World Cup Final with Zidane in the French squad.

[iluvgapnribena]

zizou the best

[whollywithoutmerritt]

4743 Ronaldo was not top scorer at the World Cup in 1998. Davor Suker was. Ronaldo played fuck all games between 1998 and 2002 and was then mysteriously fit for the finals in Asia. Probably an instruction from FIFA/NIKE. Strange World Cup. Zidane was the best footballer in the World in 2001/2002 but was unlucky to get injured on eve of Championship. France never recovered from this fact

[okek4743]

alright man, forget ronaldo had a fit before the final in 98 and that was why france won forget zidane only started winning best player awards when ronaldo got injured . forget ronaldo is faster, stronger and better shooter and dribbler than zidane, then you can consider yourself right, GENIUS .I can't be bothered to respond to pussykituss so this goes for both of you

[Schwilliboy]

Ronaldo was good in his mid twenties and after 2002 has been utter gash and his career is over at only 31 years old, Zidane was amazing throughout his career and wound up his career on the highest possible stage at 34 years old. Zidane > Ronaldo

[okek4743]

dude ronaldo is the greater player, forget abt longetivity because ronaldo got badly injured for pushing the boundaries of what a football player can do. at his best he was head and shoulders above zidane.zidane is great but ronaldo is football.

[ombolobmo]

zidane was an intelligent midfielder, a creative maestro! His mind rolled the ball.

His throne is high, his crown is the sun

[adoroconas]

The last sentence says it all...

"There's no genius without some touch of madness"

[adoroconas]

The last sentence says it all...

[BiniamBarcelona]

Zinedine Zidane is the greatest player to have played the beautiful game! Just type his name on a browser and one we'll see the number of awards and accolades that Zidane has won! Zidane is a player with the most beautiful touch,his passes precise and accurate.His eye for goal is probably second to none! Words can't describe what he has achieved,the world of football will miss him so much! Zidane is even better than Henry + Ronaldinho + Messi!

[okek4743]

ronaldo(r9) is a genius and he has no madness in him

[naomene]

ronaldo was a great player but not a genius!

you can t compare those players ZIDANE still the best middlfielder but ronaldo have to be best like before!zidane is compare with maradona or pele or di stephano

[BiniamBarcelona]

Yes but Zidane is much better than Ronaldo! Read your facts then speak!

[okek4743]

what facts are u talking about man. check out ronaldo videos, goals from halfway line. dribbles like a freaking god. dude check out his awards man. 3 fifa worldplayer of the year, 2 ballon dor, 2 worldcup world cup top scorer. wat more do u want man. u check out your facts before you speak

[BiniamBarcelona]

Shut the fuck up you ass Zidane was voted greatest European player of 50 years so shut up!

[okek4743]

look fool, that award is bullshit if ronaldo was european he would have won it fool.seriously now look up their awrds and find out whos won more.but if you can't face the truth just shut up.

[BiniamBarcelona]

Go to Zidane's wikipidia and then you'll see what I'm talking about,who the fuck are you to tell me to shut up? Huh? U shut up,Zidane kicked Ronaldo's ass in the world cup quarter finals as well as the final in 98,Zidane is the king of football whether u like it or not! Viva Zidane

[okek4743]

alright man,it seems like u are a good football fan not just some newbie to the game, so I will try to explain my point better. I looked up both ronaldo's and zidane's awards on wikipedia. ronaldo has won more, maybe thats because he is a striker but he has won more. As for the better player. Zidane himself said that when ronaldo is fit there is no one better. I also like zidane too man but put simply to be second best to the greatest talent the world probably has seen(ronaldo) is no shame.

[BiniamBarcelona]

Yes Ronaldo has won more,Zidane has said that Ronaldo is the best when he is fit(even if Ronaldo is out with injury & not playing for ac milan) but at the end of the day Zizou wins when it matters most.And one more thing,Ronaldo has every award except the Champions league! Nice debating with you! You know your football facts as well,that's cool!

[okek4743]

cool debating with u too, by the way which football team do you support.

[BiniamBarcelona]

I am a Barcelona fan,and my favorite national team is France! How about you?

[polinkituss]

zidane has taken out ronaldos brazil more than once. if i can remember he flicked the ball over ronaldos head at the age of 34 and took his team 2 the final knocking out ronaldos brazil, erm.... shhhhhhh

[polinkituss]

ur thick u dnt kno anything. ronaldos career is no way as big as zidanes career. zidane is revolutionary whereas brazil they are all megastars.and zidane destroyed them 2x in a major tournament! so he is better simple

[smashmatt]

there is no great genius...

gr8 video

[BiniamBarcelona]

but Zidane is the only great genius,greater than any footballer that has ever lived!

[naomene]

zidane i love you!!!!!

you are a the best ever!!!

[Costasz5]

Zinedine Zidane is the greatest midfielder the world has ever seen.If he had not been sent off,it's sure that France would have won the world cup.Truly charismatic player no one like him.A gift from god....Zinedine thank you,God bless you

[ombolobmo]

zidan was the genius

[afg8155996]

Zidane = God for me

[shingywan]

Does anyone know the music in these clips? Such an elegant player. He's almost an enigma at times - and he really does fit the description of "talismanic" I doubt we'll ever see his like again. Truly wonderful

[hendriksmj]

i,ll let you know when i,m back fron holiday. next wednesday

[hendriksmj]

There were three pieces, firstly All Prayed Out by Thomas Newman from the Cinderella Man soundtrack, then Book Store by Jon Brion from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, then finally Dear Clarice from the Hannibal Soundtrack.

[BiniamBarcelona]

I thank you for the wonderful comment that u have written about Zidane! You are right,the world will probably never see his like again!

[polinkituss]

zidane the legendary midfielder. he is just brilliant

[impactmehdi]

Great Video but I can't stop myself from saying that MAterrazi is the biggest sun of a bitch ever!!!!Check out any videos on him you will see him doing big fouls getting headbutted by other players because of fouls and things he says...

Zidane is the master Materrazi will always look up to him

[XxSayrosxX]

Thanks for posting that, great montage by BBC

[ajaxnick]

What a great and.......:S

[KobyR9]

nice how they completed the quote right to the end, great video
