Later in his career was more of a flashy player than an efficient one. You must be on some really good drugs. Zidane was the bonafide playmaker and key component of that French side all the way upto that headbutt on Matetarazi!!
I think its just an error he made, your normally flashier when your younger, but as you grow older and age starts to to deteriorate both your speed and power, you use your experience to build efficiency, we see this with messi, pele, iniesta, zidane and henry himself etc, other players adjust to becoming more efficient due to speed lost and injuries, we see that in the 2 ronaldo, maradona, cruyff and so on.
To be fair, I do think it's accurate to say that Zidane was more flashy later in his career. One perfect example was his final world cup performance against Brazil, while it was one of his greatest performances ever, the fact is a lot of it was flashy. Even though I know Henry probably didn't use it as a compliment, flashy isn't always a bad thing as long as it was effective. And against Brazil it was.
I don't think there was any real tension. They're just two completely different players. Zidane liked to dribble a lot and he played the game in a slower pace. Henry was more of perfectionist, he didn't bullshit around, and he liked to play the game at a faster pace. However, they both have one thing in common, they both build momentum through ball possession. Another thing,...with Arsenal Henry was more of a false 9, he would occasionally drops deep into midfield to get the ball, and run the offence from there(which is why he had a lot of assists), or he would move out wide to the left wing position....but with Zidane on the team there is no need for Henry to carry the entire offence, he can only focus on scoring goals, which is why Henry was never as good with the national team. He was not your typical inside the box striker, he need more touches.
Henry was a great striker for France but could have been a much greater striker if the French team was revolved around him however he is one of the greatest ever striker and Henry is in my top ten greatest ever football player
Zidane is more of a perfectionist actually. Takes his time on the ball to get the right pass or shot whilst Henry is a quick thinker and loves quick passes and early strikes.
In France we used to say he only assisted him once against Brazil, before that it was even a debate in the newspaper before the 2006 World Cup about the fact that he never made an assist to Henry so I'm surprise the video says he assisted him twice
Let’s not forget guys two things can be true at once. You can be uncomfortable playing with someone because your games don’t mesh and still admire them and their game.
they have almost the same goal / game ratio... how is henry goal oriented? that would make his France career a fail, while the video guy sais 'always consistently good'
Theres nothing big about this. They never hated eachcother but you did answer why they didnt compliment one another on the pitch: zidane was slow and thougjt out the game by creating and using slow build up whilst henry was more of a 'flick me the ball and watch my run and score' type player. Henry is my favourite player of all time but they both played with different teams and had a different understanding of how they should play when it came time for putting on the national shirt
I believe this. When madrid came to highbury in 06..in their pregame hanshake..they shook each others hands like strangers. Henry was even more jovial to ronaldo r9. Always found that strange
While Henry was elected as « best French player of the year 2005 », Zidane was in the Pelé top 100 player list and named the best European footballer of the past 50 years in the UEFA Golden Jubilee Poll. That should give an idea of how meaningless that tittle is especially during an era where la Liga games were not popular among French people. I doubt Henry was jealous of Zidane. Especially since he was at a totally different level throughout his career. During Zidane short France national team retirement, France struggled to even qualify for the 2006 WC. French coach had to beg for him to return and they went from 4th place of their qualifying group to finally reach 1st thanks to Zidane.
@@hdmb9180 Never seen a French lady with an ego, they are very polite people. Think youre just talking about men, regardless of nationality having an ego problem.
My old manager was a French female and she was very egotistical and when I called her out on her brash rude arrogance she said ‘I’m French, that’s just our style’. But then I also had another french female colleague and she was very lovely
no i disagree. this isn’t why. Henry spoke about it actually and explained that he loved playing with Zidane. they won multiple trophies in 9 years! World cup and euro. the reason why the production wasnt as high it’s because henry liked to drift on the left just like zidane and their combination was more down the field rather around the box. At the time Trezeguet was the point of attack while henry was more like an mbappé roaming from number 9 to left winger at times. and before trezeguet it was Anelka. henry never truly paid as a typical 9 with France
Henry was a great striker, Zidane was the best of football players. His positioning, game IQ and skill might not be matched again, and, let’s face it, the guy gave football fans the most entertaining moments in history: a World Cup final Panenka penalty and the headbutt to beat all headbutts.
that just proves those two were real gentlemen, because their differences didn't really affect their games and they showed as much respect to each other on the pitch as possible. Thanks to both of them. PS. The final goal against Brazil were the work of these two :D
@@user-gj9wx2oq1k yeah I know. He was like 19 though what u expect. He did finish the 1998 World Cup as their top scorer though even though he was on the bench.
It wasn't an assist meant for Henry. It was a free kick where Henry sneaked into the back post and scored. I genuinely feel Zidane was insecure of Henry at that point. Entire WC 2006, except from that free kick, Zidane didn't even pass the ball to Henry at any point. Zidane can give good through balls...but many times when at Arsenal Henry would've got the pass to out him through. At France, Zidane would do a side pass...heck. he didn't even give a side pass to Henry at WC 2006. Its crazy. I thought no one other than me is noticing.
@@mechkota there was an interview with France Football Magazine Henry had in Turin after the World Cup 98 along with Deschamps mentioning the role both Deschamps and Zidane played in the fact he chose Juve over other suitors. You don't have to trust me check it by yourself. Don't quote me on this but If my memory serves me right it was an edition of the magazine that came out around Christmas 98
@@FIL1994not upset at all bro, just some statements being spoken in this vid I don’t agree with. For instance, Henry upset with Zidane over being the main man when Henry wanted to be the main man is a presumption. I’m sure these words never came from Henry’s mouth although it may have from others. Also, Henry and Zidane being polar opposites on the field? Henry loved to slow the game down, at literally walking pace on the left wing. Whereas Zizu didn’t have pace so he couldn’t turn it up or down if he wanted lol but he was a 1 touch master which is speeding up the game…so I really don’t get the polar opposites comment. I guess you need to watch them both to understand that though
It’s hard to find the direct quotes on the Internet but it was commonly known by French journalists back then. I’ll give you some examples Vincent Duluc of L’Equipe said ‘They look like two talents repelling each other’. And this is a direct quote from Zidane when asked about their partnership ‘Maybe Titi doesn’t need me, he brings the ball up from very far and does extraordinary things’. Then Henry is also quoted ‘The sooner I get the ball, like at Arsenal, where we play without playmaker, the better it is’ He goes on to say ‘I’m not aiming this at anyone particular but it would be better if the striker got the ball before the defender closed in on them’. So while not direct shots, you can see some of the tension. Then when you back that up with some real evidence like when Zidane missed both the Confederation cup in 2001 and 2003, France played quicker football and Pires who replaced Zidane was player of the tournament with Henry. And if you look at WC 02 and Euro 04 where France played very poorly because Henry was now at his peak and a bigger ego so him and Zidane couldn’t gel properly. Whereas 98 & 00’s when France won, Zidane was clearly the main man and Henry was happy to play Zizou’s style.
2002 Zidane was the best player in the world , playing with the best team in the world, go check his volley winner in the UEFA champion league final played in Scotland Real against Bayern Leverkusen . Too bad he got injured right before the World Cup .
Never was Zidane less efficient than Henry. Do you remember 2006 when the french side was languishing. Zidane had to come and transform that side. There is no comparison in terms of impact on the side.
I don’t know what the hell this guy that made this short is talking about… Less efficient? What?…ZiZu had way more impact n influence on the French squad at ALL times and Henry is my favourite after R9!
Zizou was less efficient from 02 onwards then he used to be in the late 90’s. That’s all I’m saying, this made Henry feel the team should’ve been based around him.
I don't know what you're talking about! Lol! I lived thru that golden time of France! Two different players never compared, so there was no tension!! except in ur brain of course!

As a french that saw them play their whole career. Henry always was pretentious with a huge ego and was jealous of Zidane. But at the same time, Henry absolutely NEVER showed up for France as he was the worst big game choker. Even when Zidane left international football the first time (between 2004 and 2005), it’s Pires that became the best player and Leader of France NT. Then when Zidane left for good in 2006, Henry couldn’t show up too, he choked big time in Euro 2008 once again… especially against Greece in KO round. Henry was never able to replicate with France NT what he did with Arsenal… against Middlesborough, Charlton and co 😂
In 2002 Zidane was 4 years removed from winning France their 1st word cup and 2 years from winning them their 2000 Euro's "Zidane became more of a flashy player" what does that even mean??

Their play style is reflective of the clubs they play for: Henry at Arsenal was perfect at his club, where the pace is crazy, team plays happen in an instant and the agression is non-stop. And Zidane at Real, was also perfect at his club, where it’s about the long-term, making the opponent play for you, tactics.
Look your video is not without merit. Was there some tension yes but hate is a strong word considering the enormous amount of respect between the two. Videos like this are meant to get a reaction; u sound like you know your stuff don’t embrace today’s shock culture to get your point across.
Henry was on another level for both country and club. zidan only perform well consistently for France in European and world cup tournament but was very inconsistent playing for clubs
Zidane is my absolute favorite but he was kind of flashy and took a lot of time on the ball which slowed the game. Also lost the ball multiple times and preferred to make complicated passes than simple ones. Laudrup was a better technician in all round game than him.
uh, no. Cryuff lost the ball a million times too. Guys like that think too fast for their team mates sometimes. But Zidane and Cruyff could create miracles
Agreed, but Laudrup didn't have the clutch gene or the leadership that Zidane had, Bergkamp had the technical ability and clutch gene, but he didn't have the charisma or the physical ability that Zidane did.

Later in his career was more of a flashy player than an efficient one. You must be on some really good drugs. Zidane was the bonafide playmaker and key component of that French side all the way upto that headbutt on Matetarazi!!
Yeah that Flashy player comment was straight trash. However I have no idea about Henry, Zizi personal issues 🤷♂️
I think its just an error he made, your normally flashier when your younger, but as you grow older and age starts to to deteriorate both your speed and power, you use your experience to build efficiency, we see this with messi, pele, iniesta, zidane and henry himself etc, other players adjust to becoming more efficient due to speed lost and injuries, we see that in the 2 ronaldo, maradona, cruyff and so on.
To be fair, I do think it's accurate to say that Zidane was more flashy later in his career. One perfect example was his final world cup performance against Brazil, while it was one of his greatest performances ever, the fact is a lot of it was flashy. Even though I know Henry probably didn't use it as a compliment, flashy isn't always a bad thing as long as it was effective. And against Brazil it was.
So true Thank you
@@yao052 Yeah it was very clever because Brazil loves flair, so he was doing it to intimidate them. Superb player
Henry used to disappear föwheb playing for France, like he did after Arsenal. Zidane was the brain that colntrolled the muscles of France
Bullshit!!! 😂
He was the muscules as well...
I don't think there was any real tension. They're just two completely different players. Zidane liked to dribble a lot and he played the game in a slower pace. Henry was more of perfectionist, he didn't bullshit around, and he liked to play the game at a faster pace. However, they both have one thing in common, they both build momentum through ball possession. Another thing,...with Arsenal Henry was more of a false 9, he would occasionally drops deep into midfield to get the ball, and run the offence from there(which is why he had a lot of assists), or he would move out wide to the left wing position....but with Zidane on the team there is no need for Henry to carry the entire offence, he can only focus on scoring goals, which is why Henry was never as good with the national team. He was not your typical inside the box striker, he need more touches.
Brilliant analysis mate, i appreciate the comment
Henry was a great striker for France but could have been a much greater striker if the French team was revolved around him however he is one of the greatest ever striker and Henry is in my top ten greatest ever football player
You got it totally wrong
@@pensivevalues1949 Henry > Ronaldinho
Zidane is more of a perfectionist actually. Takes his time on the ball to get the right pass or shot whilst Henry is a quick thinker and loves quick passes and early strikes.
Zidane is the greatest French player of all time. Top 5 player in history as well
what a load of guff

@@BlessedEraProduction world cup 2002 team is the same team with out zidane, and look what happen
I think off the two assists one was made against Brazil in the 2006 world cup. One of the most important goals Henry ever scored.
Zindane assist Henry two times and if I remember one was against Brazil in 2006 world Cup knock out, that's not bad.
From a free kick though
In France we used to say he only assisted him once against Brazil, before that it was even a debate in the newspaper before the 2006 World Cup about the fact that he never made an assist to Henry so I'm surprise the video says he assisted him twice
That's very bad, they played together for 9 years, he should have provided 10 or 20 assists
Let’s not forget guys two things can be true at once. You can be uncomfortable playing with someone because your games don’t mesh and still admire them and their game.
Yes absolutely
Henry was goal oriented while Zidane was all about team oriented. You need people like Zidane to control & win game.
But you need people like Henry to actually score and win you games.
Zidane was team oriented?
Prior to giroud breaking his record, henry was frances top scorer and top assister
they have almost the same goal / game ratio... how is henry goal oriented? that would make his France career a fail, while the video guy sais 'always consistently good'
Theres nothing big about this. They never hated eachcother but you did answer why they didnt compliment one another on the pitch: zidane was slow and thougjt out the game by creating and using slow build up whilst henry was more of a 'flick me the ball and watch my run and score' type player. Henry is my favourite player of all time but they both played with different teams and had a different understanding of how they should play when it came time for putting on the national shirt
I believe this. When madrid came to highbury in 06..in their pregame hanshake..they shook each others hands like strangers. Henry was even more jovial to ronaldo r9. Always found that strange
Very interesting
The same happened in Spain in the 1st leg. Henry played like a man possessed vs Real, he definitely wanted to beat Zidane

Henry humiliates Madrid in that match
While Henry was elected as « best French player of the year 2005 », Zidane was in the Pelé top 100 player list and named the best European footballer of the past 50 years in the UEFA Golden Jubilee Poll. That should give an idea of how meaningless that tittle is especially during an era where la Liga games were not popular among French people.
I doubt Henry was jealous of Zidane. Especially since he was at a totally different level throughout his career.
During Zidane short France national team retirement, France struggled to even qualify for the 2006 WC. French coach had to beg for him to return and they went from 4th place of their qualifying group to finally reach 1st thanks to Zidane.

My old manager was a French female and she was very egotistical and when I called her out on her brash rude arrogance she said ‘I’m French, that’s just our style’. But then I also had another french female colleague and she was very lovely
no i disagree. this isn’t why. Henry spoke about it actually and explained that he loved playing with Zidane. they won multiple trophies in 9 years! World cup and euro. the reason why the production wasnt as high it’s because henry liked to drift on the left just like zidane and their combination was more down the field rather around the box. At the time Trezeguet was the point of attack while henry was more like an mbappé roaming from number 9 to left winger at times.
and before trezeguet it was Anelka. henry never truly paid as a typical 9 with France
Henry was a great striker, Zidane was the best of football players.
His positioning, game IQ and skill might not be matched again, and, let’s face it, the guy gave football fans the most entertaining moments in history: a World Cup final Panenka penalty and the headbutt to beat all headbutts.
that just proves those two were real gentlemen, because their differences didn't really affect their games and they showed as much respect to each other on the pitch as possible. Thanks to both of them. PS. The final goal against Brazil were the work of these two :D
I bet both players say something completely different if asked 🤣
they will keep it like that because gentlemen don't create drama even if its there
To be honest they won the World Cup together and finished runners up in 2006 not bad
They didn't won the world cup together Henry was on the bench most of the times
@@user-gj9wx2oq1k yeah I know. He was like 19 though what u expect. He did finish the 1998 World Cup as their top scorer though even though he was on the bench.
That’s is pure rabish bro
There were rumors back then Zidane liked Saha over Henry.
But one of that two assists was that magical goal vs Brazil in 2006 World Cup.
It wasn't an assist meant for Henry. It was a free kick where Henry sneaked into the back post and scored.
I genuinely feel Zidane was insecure of Henry at that point.
Entire WC 2006, except from that free kick, Zidane didn't even pass the ball to Henry at any point.
Zidane can give good through balls...but many times when at Arsenal Henry would've got the pass to out him through. At France, Zidane would do a side pass...heck. he didn't even give a side pass to Henry at WC 2006. Its crazy. I thought no one other than me is noticing.
Thier relationship doesn't change the fact that zidane was a different class.
Henry was a beast of player and I would say our best striker love watching him play

Don’t be upset because you don’t want to believe my story
@@FIL1994not upset at all bro, just some statements being spoken in this vid I don’t agree with.
For instance, Henry upset with Zidane over being the main man when Henry wanted to be the main man is a presumption. I’m sure these words never came from Henry’s mouth although it may have from others.
Also, Henry and Zidane being polar opposites on the field? Henry loved to slow the game down, at literally walking pace on the left wing. Whereas Zizu didn’t have pace so he couldn’t turn it up or down if he wanted lol but he was a 1 touch master which is speeding up the game…so I really don’t get the polar opposites comment. I guess you need to watch them both to understand that though
@@FIL1994 if you can point me to the source where Henry said he wanted to be the main man in France team I will take that comment back
It’s hard to find the direct quotes on the Internet but it was commonly known by French journalists back then. I’ll give you some examples Vincent Duluc of L’Equipe said ‘They look like two talents repelling each other’. And this is a direct quote from Zidane when asked about their partnership ‘Maybe Titi doesn’t need me, he brings the ball up from very far and does extraordinary things’. Then Henry is also quoted ‘The sooner I get the ball, like at Arsenal, where we play without playmaker, the better it is’ He goes on to say ‘I’m not aiming this at anyone particular but it would be better if the striker got the ball before the defender closed in on them’. So while not direct shots, you can see some of the tension. Then when you back that up with some real evidence like when Zidane missed both the Confederation cup in 2001 and 2003, France played quicker football and Pires who replaced Zidane was player of the tournament with Henry. And if you look at WC 02 and Euro 04 where France played very poorly because Henry was now at his peak and a bigger ego so him and Zidane couldn’t gel properly. Whereas 98 & 00’s when France won, Zidane was clearly the main man and Henry was happy to play Zizou’s style.
2002 Zidane was the best player in the world , playing with the best team in the world, go check his volley winner in the UEFA champion league final played in Scotland Real against Bayern Leverkusen . Too bad he got injured right before the World Cup .
Never was Zidane less efficient than Henry. Do you remember 2006 when the french side was languishing. Zidane had to come and transform that side. There is no comparison in terms of impact on the side.
I don’t know what the hell this guy that made this short is talking about…
Less efficient? What?…ZiZu had way more impact n influence on the French squad at ALL times and Henry is my favourite after R9!
Zizou was less efficient from 02 onwards then he used to be in the late 90’s. That’s all I’m saying, this made Henry feel the team should’ve been based around him.

Absolutely untrue, Henry time and time again always said it was the best honour to paly alongside Zidane and for France
As a french that saw them play their whole career. Henry always was pretentious with a huge ego and was jealous of Zidane.
But at the same time, Henry absolutely NEVER showed up for France as he was the worst big game choker. Even when Zidane left international football the first time (between 2004 and 2005), it’s Pires that became the best player and Leader of France NT. Then when Zidane left for good in 2006, Henry couldn’t show up too, he choked big time in Euro 2008 once again… especially against Greece in KO round.
Henry was never able to replicate with France NT what he did with Arsenal… against Middlesborough, Charlton and co 😂

Exactly. Flashy isnt always a bad thing but it was accurate to claim Zidane was flashy.
uh, no. Cryuff lost the ball a million times too. Guys like that think too fast for their team mates sometimes. But Zidane and Cruyff could create miracles
Agreed, but Laudrup didn't have the clutch gene or the leadership that Zidane had, Bergkamp had the technical ability and clutch gene, but he didn't have the charisma or the physical ability that Zidane did.
