Headbutt

Because he must wait for his time to be included..

he is surely one of the 10 greatest players but the greatest of all time can only be one and its messi

My list goes like this- Messi, Pele, Maradona, Zizou and C.Ronaldo, Ronaldo N., Ronaldinho. You can throw in your Cruyoff and Beckenbauer in there too.

Many coaches do or did do it before Zizou. Mou(used to) and Pep(not sure anymore) are 2 cases that are still in in the game

@@JustN0tMe That‘s not what he meant. Casemiro said, when Zidane trained with his Real Madrid squad (CR7, Benzema, Bale, Ramos…), he was still a better player than all of them. That‘s certainly not the case with Pep, Mou or any other manager.

Theres a slow mo video tape of him, something artsy

Reminds me of Roger Federer

It reminds me of Dennis Bergkamp. The same insane technique, although there were very different players.

he really is good

And not diving like crying dying girl after any slightest touch with an opposite player

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I guess so too. He's still great back in 2006 when i watch World Cup. Absurd that France wasn't a favorite by many pundits or football fans because they think Zidane & Co. Is too old. Yet, they almost beat my favorite team by getting early lead in finals 👍

@@juanchoteado5046 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Maradona was the best ever, but Zidane, has been the best in the last 20 yes, by far for me.

For me Zidane the best ever. Not Ronaldo. Not messi

What advantage or chance did he create by headbutting Materzzi?

@@markdavis7397 It proves he is just like us, full of emotions and prone to outbursts. How about you, how’s life emphasising on negativity?

@@markdavis7397 he would have 2 ballons d'or and 2 world cups had things gone different . Proves he's a man of honor but with rash decision making. A regrettable mistake

Ronaldinho beat him though when it came to elegance.

Panache but without showboating.

Underrated? Nah He's top 5 of all time

He was not unterrated🤔

@@norpriest521 none of the modern kids would rate him top 5 which is tragic. it also explains why most of the modern kids get destroyed by old guys despite how tactically better the game is now. they all know what theyre supposed to do. none of them can dribble out of a pinch though. far less can beat multiple defenders with a pass. the game is almost scripted at this point.

iniesta is the real maestro

Bergkamp??????

Yeah. Ronaldinho more in a technical, physical way. Zidane more in the way he anticipates opponents movements.

Zidane was the most "artistic", the most enjoyable to watch and he was always here on big games (unlike like Messi, R9, CR7...) which make him stands next to Pele and Maradona but Ronaldinho, he is just the best player of all times, he had everything (technical, physical, speed...) and he won everything at a very young age, football was really too easy for him.

Ronaldo Nazario too

didn’t he headbutt that one guy

As an Irish guy, watching Zidane bring France to the Euro 2000 finals and returning from retirement to bring them to the 2006 World Cup final were my favourite football memories (besides Ireland making it out of the group stages in 2002 of course). He was/is my favourite player of all time. He brought magic.

@nicolas Il était encore plus fort contre l'Italie mais on l'a oublié à cause du coup de boule.

Look at Michael Laudrup, seems like Zidane copied his style

Rui costa and luis figo also had that fluidity like zidane.

Zizou was only bending the fabric of space-time as gods do

@@selliantuttimusi6735 😂😂

He reminds me of Dennis Bergkamp

And he learned all that from his idol, the Uruguayan Enzo Francescoli, was the best player of the world before Zidane, and they are best friends now

Same happened with MJ in Basketball. He made the game look easy. Zidane was out of this world.

Such a clean elegant play style

@@imunmire He was more like the Raphael of football. Pure beauty.

Include Neymar there. Actually no playr can match Neymar and Ronaldinho's beautiful football skills. Even the two GOATs (Messi&Ronaldo7) can agree with me

EXACTLY EXACTLY EXACTLY HE IS SO CAAAALLLMMMM ON THE BALLL ITS UNBELIEVABLE😄😄😄ZINEDINE ZIDANE PLAYER OF ALL TIME ...PLEASE GOD RE YOUNG HIM AND LET HIM PLAY AGAIN😆😆

This

lol well done

This is exactly what he would do, its hard to explain to people who didn't watch him play. All these people comparing him to Berbatov cannot have seen them both enough.

Same here .. i only watch zizou highlights and videos don’t know why 😅 though I like messi and Ronaldo but maradona and zidane are such a joy to watch.

in that sense about the flow and tempo the only one i enjoy watching this era is Luca Modric!!!

I love it how you describe about zizou

He was the best of Mordic, Kroos and Isco a couple other great midfielders. I didn't watch his last game for us because I couldn't say goodbye to him.

He wasn't that fast in a sprint but he was very fast at quick lateral movements and switching from left to right foot to put his opponents off-balance. I would recommend any slow players just work on using both feet and lateral movements like Zidane. He gained so much space with these techniques.

Ronaldinho > Zidane

@@oceaneaveline6278 Lol, no way. Ronaldinho was mighty inconsistent throughout his career, barring two years, Also Zidane had better ball-control, bigger passing range, was physically stronger, and had better dribbling ability. Ronnie was glamorous, entertaining, and yes had so-called "flair"(I don't even understand why is having flair relevant). Had you seen both these players week-in and week-out, you'd know Zidane was the better footballer, and by a good margin.

@@soumyadeepray1272 I disagree with you wholeheartedly. By a clear margin! You have to be trolling. Yes Ronaldinho's Achilles heal was his partying and lack of professionalism. But he was more talented with the ball than Zidane. Ronaldinho was ALWAYS double teamed. As you can see from these Zidane highlights most times Zidane was marked one on one.. Ronaldinho had a larger bag of tricks than Zidane.

Zidane fue el único jugador que ha neutralizado a Brasil dos veces en los mundiales, en 2006 fue más que legendario su cometido. De 2014 en adelante ha sido responsabilidad de Brasil mismo. Espero ver una final entre Brasil contra Francia o Bélgica este año que viene.

Pelé did. Ronaldinho not far too.

I'd rate him above CR7 but bellow R9 and obviously Messi

@@shady.219 AFAIK he met R9 twice in WC and outmatched him twice. He also met CR7 in 2006 and also outmatched him.

CR7 meilleur buteur mais moins fort en contrôle de balle mais une vrai machine a buts

He had such a physical presence too. Very unique and unusual for such a powerful guy to move with the ball with such speed and grace at the same time. In this respect he was (and still) in a class of his own.

super headers alright 😂

headers were really good especially satisfying on that moron

@@YoYoFunPlay haha I kinda miss the old rat squad of Italy with Zambrotta's and Materazzi's, there's not really that much flair in world football right now like that

He was perfect. We had Ronaldinho at Barça who was a genius in his own right but Zidane was consistent throughout his entire career.

@@user-tl2cs6wv8b brava roni he was copy past of r9 and garrincha ( meaning by all his techniques came from them ) zidane was zidane MEANING BY HE DIDNT COPY ANY he was in another level !!

Yup. Just don't insult his kin..

Yes, there is a bias to give that title to goalscorers/forwards in my view

"never tense in his action"...hm.... Materazzi?

We don’t think of it often, but when Zidane retired, before Messi and Ronaldo, he was considered the 3rd greatest of all time, just behind Pele and Maradona. What a player!

@@LiamDemorySoccer here in Spain, before Messi and Cristiano, press, media considered him as 5th behind of Maradona, Pelé, Di Stefano and Cruyff and I don't agree. I love Zidane but he's not on the all time top for me.

And although people want to talk about mbappe today as being one of the best in the world, I laugh. He hasn't even reached Zidane's level yet. In Zidane's era, mbappe would have been like any other average player . The only thing he has is speed and a bit of accuracy on goal. That doesn't make a complete player. For me Haaland and mbappe don't even come close to the greats of yesteryears, i e Ronaldo nazario, CR7, Messi, Zidane, Kaka, etc. Today's football focuses so much on scoring goals. But it takes a lot to be a goat.

Your opinion, my opinion or the' medias' opinion does not have any value here. What matters is the opinions of coaches and successful footballers and he is one of the very best of all time according to the vast majority of these. In my opinion he would have won a lot more if it was not for his temper, including a second world cup.

@@CZInform even mass media and coaches don't matter... I don't think so althought he was a great player

He has talent and..... He worked hard, holy!!

Il était béni ... tous ses buts sont magiques ! Il marque en finale de Coupe du Monde .. 3 fois Il marque en finale de Ligue des Champions .. Il était vraiment béni ! En France, on connaissait déjà le résultat du match quand on voyait son regard et celui de ses adversaires se croiser avant le début du match ... J'avais 15 ans en 1998 et je n'oublierai jamais ! Mais comme CR7 ou Beckham, il arrivait avant et repartait après les autres ... Quel joueur magnifique ... ✌

@R R hard work too. but common, the touch that he has... thats god-given man.

@@blokkka9inety293 Nope, that is hard work, dedication, years of struggle, and the will to never give up. You have absolutely no right to demean, dismiss, and abuse someone's years and years of hard-work, by calling it god-gifted.

@@soumyadeepray1272 Fist of all saying someone has god given talent is the best compliment anyone can receive. Second no amount of hardwork will make you do that if you ain't got it. Get mad I don't care. Zidane had the talent and the work ethic.

That’s right, it wasn’t just for show.

He did all this at the highest level as well. It wasn't against relegation teams in weak leagues or whipping boys. If I had to choose between Messi, Ronaldo or Zidane in my fantasy team I would pick Zidane.

@@danielwoods3563 messi is better🤣

Amazing player he really is. I mean KDB is starting to get there but Zidane is easily the best midfielder in history. Beautiful words

Something you’ll never see on a stat sheet, that makes Zidane quite possibly the best Midfielder ever, is his first touch under pressure It was so smooth it never looked like he was really under pressure lol…like you never thought he would lose the ball He was better at that than almost anyone else

@@Blinkers2007GameDev with all due respect, you can't compare kdb to zizou. However, for a direct comparison, take a look at steven gerrard at his peak and watch kdb. Now that's identical.

Goodbye Penaldo, and the dilemma of the greatest in history will be solved soon, exactly on the 17th of December, when Leo Messi will win the World Cup.
