MAGNIFICENT PLAYER. The GREATEST ever midfielder in the last 30 years. It's just the ease at which he made everything look that makes him the greatest. Played and controlled the game at his pace and nobody could get ever close to him on the ball. 3 steps ahead of anyother player on the pitch. Scored great goals and THE GREATEST Champions League Goal of all time in the final. Galactico. Magician. Master. Single handedly destroyed Brazil twice in World Cup Finals. Brazil still haven't recovered.
just one more thing he didn't have apart from speed... was not a natural goal scorer that Pele was. true midfielder. more two footed than even Cruyff. As good a header of the ball as Pele. Maradona's ball control.
your probably english or something... football aint about speed at all.... Zidane is better than the fasted footballer ever, the fastest footballer ever cant do what zidane can, yet zidane can do everything other people can... zidane is the best on all respects... no one can compete with zidane... and dont try to name any cons of zidane because every con zidane has, he has it covered... BEST PLAYER EVER... EVERYBODY'S DREAM TO BE AND EVERYBODY'S IDOL...
what are u talkin about i said hes my all time favourite. i said he had everything accept lightning speed which is true. and what are you talkin about football isnt about speed at all??? henry, messi, ronaldo just to name a few, they wouldnt be able to unlock the defenses the way they do without their pace, where as the likes of zidane or bergkamp wouldnt be able to without their technique and awareness. footballs a team game, and a great team has a blend of every ingredient.
Yes but even without speed, you can take out a defence and find a gap! If you habe great control and techniques with the ball. you can slip through the defence!
i know yes, thats a way of getting through a defence. my argument was with the guy who said speed is nothing, which isnt true, many top players rely on their speed these days and without it would have never made it, the likes of henry, anelka, aaron lennon etc. the list goes on. but the likes of riquelme, bergkamp, beckham to name a couple didnt have that pace but made it because of their great football brain, control and technique like you said. so many great players with different styles.
There are many ways to be a great footballer. Speed, vision, technique, strength, balance, power, thats why football embodies all the great athleticism of mankind.
Now Zizou Has Retired, Someone Need's To step Up In The French Squad And Lead Them How He Did. To be honest, at the moment i dont think there is anyone that can.. all good player's but none who had the mentality, inspiration and leadership of Zinedine Zidane.
yeah its true that no1 can compare to zidane, wether its technique/skill, or mentality... but there are still lots of GREAT players out there that belong at the top of the world... players that can be called 1 of the best... and then im talking about players like ribery and benzema... nasri aint realy at the top, especialy not by mentality, inspiration and leader ship but he is also getting realy good.
He's the best ever. No one comes close to playing the beautiful game as beautiful as ZZ. Just think if you only had 5% of his ability you could make good money playing football at a decent level. That's the measure of the man. What a fuckin' player. I don't think there's any really outstanding players at this calibre playing now. Possibly Messi but that's it. Not Ronaldo he's a twat and goes missing in the big games. I miss you Zizou
true genious... never seen a player so good with both feet before with amazing balance he makes it look effortless,cruyff said he thinks zizou is the greatest of all time i agree
I had a chance to see ZZ play and it's not only the things he does with the ball, the runs he makes, the passes that create opportunities for others, the calmness about him, all these traits make him one of the best of all time.
I´m brazilian and I admit, he´s a GENIOUS, Brazil lost 2 World Cups and he was the bad guy, he is top 5 in football of all time...Ronaldinho must see this video and learn how to be a genious....
there are so many great players in football today but we will not see another player with the elegance, poetry and pure genius of zidane....
the best player of his generation by a long way, and showed amazing consistency from 1997 (his first champions league final with juve) up to 2006 (world cup final) he was at the top of the game....
zidane will always be the best :: A FOOTBALL GENIUS,A FOOTBALL LEGEND, WE CAN NEVER EVER SEE A PLAYER LIKE ZIZOU AGAIN,, HE WAS/IS A COACH TO NEXT FOOTBALL PLAYERS ;;: IT IS TRUE

This man was unbelievable.
The most complete player ever.
He won all the great prices and scored important goals in big matches.
How can i forget his 2 goals against Brazil in World Cup final of 1998?
His volley against Leverkusen in CL final of 2002?
His winning penalty against Portugal in 2000? Free kick in last minute against England in 2004?
Goal against Barca in semifinal of CL 2002?
Goal against Spain in quarter final of World Cup 2006?
