Zidane is the purest definition of a maestro in football history. Absolute pillar of my all-time dream team, his unreal talent, intelligence and technique make him the most classical and elegant footballer ever. Magician, absolute genius!

“Timing beats speed and precision beats power “ When I see Zidane play ,this comes to my head .

I’m from Brazil. This man made us suffer… A lot… And I still love him! One of the greatests! ❤️

Every pass, every shot, every dribble, everything Zidane did had a purpose behind it. That is what makes him special. He wasn't flashy on purpose, he was just efficient.

I am glad to witness the like of Zidane, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaka in their prime ... before the rise of industrial football

Zinedine and Ronaldinho are the most magical players to ever touch a football. The things they did with so little effort still amaze me

There is nobody in the sport that understood how to use his body as well as Zidane, I think that goes often overlooked. He had a great touch, we know. Brilliant IQ, yes. But the way he used his body truly set him a part.

Zidane was like a dancer out there. Poetry in motion.

I don’t think enough people mention how big Zidane was. A 6’1 80kg beast with the foot speed of a striker. While watching highlights of him pay attention to how physically he plays while still having the finesse to go around anyone

I dont know if there is another one who have win 10 Balon d'Or ......but for me Zidane is simply the Best i've ever see....he realy is pure Magic.... doesn't had to score a goal to make worthy to see a game with him in the field .....so sad when he stopped playing football 😢

As a force, nobody can perhaps match Zidane. He was the conductor of the orchestra on so many world stages, and the whole of the French team transformed under his leadership. Unparalled elegance, stuepndous IQ, and a mystical magical ability to just carry his team, calling everything from his position, just changing history with every touch. Oh the very greatest of all time.

1:35 🤦🏻🔥🔥 Zidane a élevé le football au rang d’art.

Zidane is the best example of not needing speed if your making the right decisions.

1:47😮 ball control is crazy

Every time somebody was compared to Zidane, it ended up badly for him...better not to compare anybody to Zidane if you wish him well.

Sad that we've lost the expressive and individualistic side of the game. This is the main reason we won't have another Zidane.

Zidane plays as a man who knows has been the best for years, therefore he doesn't hold back at doing any play he comes with. Jude plays as a 20 years old that has all the tools to be one of the best of the next decade, therefore he more often than not decides to not risk the ball and play safe. But when he tries any difficult play the ellegance is there. We're talking 20 years old against 29. Lot of experience there.

Watch the replay of Brazil-France 2006, best performance I have ever seen. It was indecent.

Zidane is in top 5 players that have ever played football, hes style is so unique that noone can copy it , strenght, agility, decision making, enegance... When Zidane played everyone thought they can play football because it looked so easy when he did it, unreal magician with a ball, whenever he received it, there was 0 doubt in the guy, always something happened. I loved that he played for Juve and was gutted when he left, but it had to be done so the team can be upgraded. Good for him as well.

Elegance is the exact word! Never rushed, so comfortable on the ball

Amazing intro man, Zidane was crazy good!

When you say elegance, its Zidane that comes to mind first. Then you had Roberto Baggio, Rui Costa, Andrea Pirlo. They all had this ease on the ball , remained cold blooded no matter how high the pressure was. Beautiful to witness.

The way he just quit football only 34yrs old on the top of his prime when he could of played atleast 8 more yrs if he wanted. Like he completed the game of football. Absolute legend

The most amazing touch ever was in football!

Zinedine Zidane is Best of the Best

ball controll and balance are unbelievable... how he can keep the ball at his feet in some situations is just crazy! ball controll balance vision accuracy technique thats Zidane for me!

I’m a huge Zidane fan but there were plenty of times he was doing his pirouettes and he had a man open in a better position than him. If I was a coach I would have been irritated he didn’t pass

Hi Magician10, I'm really glad that you continue to make videos of Zidane. Nce video, like to hear reactions of commentators and fans. And yes, Bellingham yet missed this elegance the most to be trully comparable

Zizou la légende ❤🇨🇵🙏

Zidane was amazing, keen to see how he was at 20yrs old like Bellingham.

today one guy remembers me zidane playstyle is Kevin de Bruyne, pure class

Zidane was great, but Ronaldinho Gaúcho was pure magic

At this point, football has evolved so much we cannot even compare the younguns to the all-time greats. They are great in their respective timelines and we are blessed to witness it.

Zidane had so much technique that he made everything look easy. The only ones I've seen do something similar were Ronaldinho and Messi. But Zidane pace was his own. He almost looked awkward moving, like being slow, but always getting there before the defender. He seemed to be almost losing the ball every time but never actually losing it. His pace I think played a major role in how hard was to defend against him. He would switch from fast pace to slow to awkward at will. But the most important part of his play was his control. He ALWAYS controlled the ball with one touch but thinking on the next move, so the ball would be in the exact place that would benefit to do what he wanted next. Amazing player, world class player just a step behind Maradona, Messi and Pelé. Top 10 HANDS DOWN.

Good video 🎉🎉🎉 Different shots that don't get pushed like the Volley and World Cup goals 10/10 A+

Simply maestro, Idol

Incroyable ! Zizou ❤

ZZ first touch was excellent but the way he lowered is centre of gravity on 1vs1 to pass any opponents was absolutely madness, this clip shows it well.

Zidane was goat for me till december 2022. I think Messi deserves the goat title now, and Zidane is second. Bellingham has a potential to be goat in the future.

I remember watching bayern real champions league wayyy back perhaps 20 years ago and it was wild how Zidane controlled the game and pinging those outside of the door 50 yard passes casually

The greatest player since Maradona END OF 💯

More complete than any other player in the last 30 years. Bellingham could get there; he’s in the right place.

One of my all time favourites. Could do pretty much everything. However, Maradona is the greatest player of all time. Zidane's achievements, though great, were done from within great teams. Maradona took Argentina to a WC win they had no right to even dream about , they weren't good enough . Go back and watch his performances in every gane in '86, it's the best performance in any football tournament in history.

My favorite player, he was a joy to watch.

Sir alex ferguson once said ,, give me ten pieces of wood and zidane and i will win you champions league “ Truly he was one of the best players to ever existed if somebody like Ferguson said such a thing

Bellingham is 20 years old. The mere fact that we are comparing him to Zidane is an evidence that the guy is sitting in the greatests' table

purely majestic

forget highlight reels & cute dribbles, he DICTATES the game

like Federer in Tennis: Zidane made his sport into an art form.

Just effortless...luxury.

Zidane wasnt an artist. He was a senior level footballer in a league of newbs. Everyone else who was between him and the goal were just in his way.

Zidane is the most elegant player ever( after Dennis Bergkamp of course!!)

Solo Zidane le pudo dar ese pase de espuela a Gravesen para que este se invente la Gravesinha, absolutamente magico.

2:41 Zizou assist is extremely accurate spacewise and timewise. He first decides where to give the ball and waits for the perfect timing to do it. Pure art.

Bellingham may be on Zidanes level in 1992 when he was 20 ( same age ) He still has a long way to go needs champions leagues , world cups , ballon dors to compete . Has a long way to go but definelty has the potential if remains consistent

He didn’t necessarily have the most excellent balance or flair. But he had the talent of taking a touch at the right time to unbalance the opponent, an excellent first touch, mastered the Marseille turn & feints & always looking up for his mates. And i find him very similar to Bellingham & i think he can reach zidane's level if he stays consistent & dedicated.

Even tho im a barca fan and i hate how successful madrid are but im happy for players like bellingham, football needs those type of elegant players back. We don’t have as many as we used to

Zidane elegance unmatched? It is matched. He’s called Michael Laudrup.

I been fan of Real Madrid for 23 years now. watched Galaticos play, seen their downfall than after transition time we got Galaticos 2.0 with CR7 leading the bracket. My first football game that i watched on televison was Real Madrid vs Bayer Leverkusen in the final when Zidane scored his volley and it was love at first sight. Today watching Bellingham play brings back that Zidane flavour. Bellingham is tall and strong just as Zidane. A bit clumsy at the times. Just like Zidane. They both have amasing passing ability. Great in offense and defense. Very temperamental players with their attitude. Zidane showed us of skill and beauty, but remember Bellingham is only 20y old and his technical potential is very high. And as a cheery on top. Same club, same number. Bellingham himself said Zidane is inspiration for him. Hopefully we will see incarnation of Zidane once more on the pitch. If you think this is bullshit. Just look the way they run, dribble, carry the ball, get in tackle, act with other players, pass etc. Its so similar it brings joy. Bellingham can and hopefully will show us same maestral games Zidane showed us decades ago.

ZIDANE EL MAESTRO

Back when i was a kid, we used to refer to that turn as the zidane turn

Juve Zidane was his peak, he was old at Madrid

05:44 The ACTUAL best move in football ever!

Zidane the best no one can compare with him

El mejor partido de Zidane posiblemente fue contra Brasil, y Jude juega así o mejor cada día. Bellingham trasciende a Zidane, su figura ya es comparable con la de Di Stéfano, líder del mejor club de la historia en su mejor momento.

That is Right, Zidane is unique , his elegance ist out oft his time…

Euro 2000. Zidane masterclass

One word : MAGIC !

Many compare Pele and Maradona and argue who's the goat. I think zizu could match up to both in skill technique and finesse... He's the best in my book!

Единственный игрок, ради которого я откладывал все дела и включал телевизор.

i grew up watching zidane i love him, but he probably wld struggle in this modern day game...

For me, in terms of pure dribbling magic, Zidane, Ronaldihno, Original Ronaldo, Savicevic, Baggio, Maradonna

لا تستطيع تعريف زيدان لانه قطعة يجب ان تكون في اي فريق هو جزء من كرة القدم

If he had pace he'd have been unarguably the greatest ever. But would he have become so good if he was born fast? I doubt it.

Where is the after foot of RMC

Only people born after the 90’s might think JuDe BeLlinGhaM is anywhere near Zidane. Good player that has had a good start but we will see if he keeps that up for 10+ years.

Bro stated the most obvious thing. You cannot compare current players with those. That is a different level

What makes a player elegant? No doubt Zidane was a master of his trade, he had great dribbling and technical skills and an amazing overview of the game, but I'm not sure if elegant is a word I'd use about him. Pirlo, Ronaldinho, M. Laudrup, Figo, Bergkamp, Henry, Hagi, Baggio, Gullit, Zola, Messi - for me, they all come to mind before Zidane when thinking about elegance on the pitch.

A magician!

Greatest player of all times for me 🫡

The Roulette ❤️

God knows we'll play football, because it's like He created some beings only to play the game.

I tell people about ehe kasparov of football and his name is Zidane. Best mid fielder ever .

Buddy is comparing apples with goddamn cheese at this point.

When did bellingham ever enter a conversation with zizo

Zidane was playing for Cannes at Bellinghams age. How the hell can you compare them both yet! Zidane hit his best form when he was around 24/25 at Bordeaux before going to Juve. Bellingham is way ahead at the same age as Zidane was

Walking through defenders is a skill game.... Gliding through? That's magic

In my 37 years on this planet. Not seen anything as good as Ronaldo Luis Nazario

when Zidane was on the pitch, even the ball had a smile

Not sure you can compare a 20 year old to someones complete established career but there you go 😂

Don’t be ridiculous! Comparing Bellingham to the great Zidane? Who the hell is Bellingham?

Zidane❤❤❤

Dude was a dancer.

If you watch Bellingham play, you can see that he moves like Zidane. He has the same type of balance and on the ball skills.

Thank you for not ruining the video with obnoxious music.

Sublime ball skills and he didn't need to dive.

normalize football highlights without music 🙌🏼

People who don't know Guti Herbandez💀

I think Zidane will agree with us that he wasn’t like Jude at 20! Potentially & mentally.

Anyone know who the commentator was at 2:27 please?
