This tournament was my first glimpse of Zidane. I was prompted by a friend who said to me: "Bro...there's this number 10 for France. You have to watch him play!" In those days I was only exposed to English football on TV & Shoot football magazines. So I followed Dwight Yorke, Paul Gascoigne, Steve Mc Manaman & Robbie Fowler. Then this tournament came along on national television and I saw Zinedine Zidane...and the rest is history....
First time I see him was in WC98. I am brazilian, I was a 8 years old kid that time. I was sad because we lost in the final. But after a couple years I understand How fantastic was this player. And I start to see all Real Madrid games just to see him. And when he retired, I stop watch football.
2:25 only him, the one and only zizou. doing the most unthinkable moves while he kept the momentum of his body, in the most smooth way possible. thank you for this brilliant super rare video.
It was exactly at Euro 96 that I had a greater contact with the football played by Zidane. I was 10 years old and up until then I basically only knew a few random moves from Zidane. It was in 1996 that I identified the extraordinary talent and technique of this super genius.
Il avait livré une performance plus que moyenne dans l'ensemble mais c'était indigne de Zidane...on s'attendait à beaucoup mieux de sa part...la suite de son parcours en bleu confirmera mes propos.
Il n'était pas à son meilleur niveau lors de cet euro 96...il sortait d'une grosse saison avec Bordeaux notamment la grosse performance à la coupe de l'uefa,vient ensuite l'accident de voiture 10 jours avant, Je me rappelle très bien qu'il était physiquement à côté de la plaque...la France avait le potentiel de gagner ce tournois mais elle a échoué face à la république chèque en demi finale
He was exhausted after a very long season with Bordeaux which started in July 1995 with the Intertoto Cup and ended in May 1996 with the Uefa cup final. And as you mentioned there was the car accident. These factors affected his performances at Euro 96....

Great story bro 👍
I'm a bit younger so when I first saw Zidane playing It was this legendarny CL FINAL against Leverkusen.

Cant wait for Zizou Compile in Euro 2000 and Euro 2004
Dude looked 34 since 24 lmao
Almost went to final in his euro debut
Зидан лучший
No jogo contra a Holanda , zidane teve uma disputa épica com Denis bergkamp, outro jogador que admiro muito
Il avait livré une performance plus que moyenne dans l'ensemble mais c'était indigne de Zidane...on s'attendait à beaucoup mieux de sa part...la suite de son parcours en bleu confirmera mes propos.
França vai ganhar o ouro Zizou eu vou estar na torcida💙👍
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Et malgré tt ça..des gestes et actions de classe que très peu.. égalent..
❤zidane
🐐
The English media suggested he was overrated during this tournament. Idiots. His biggest problem here was France needed strikers.
English media are always big moaners. They hype up their local overrated talent to be world class before they even played a match😂
Who needs Zidane when you have Tim Sherwood 😂
@@gts8919this joke cracked me up pal🤣
He still went to semi in his tournament debut, almost reached the final by losing on penalties
Now they salivate over him, how times change
96的齐达内还没踢出来，去了尤文才有了质的变化
I swear Zidane was born with that bald spot on his head..
He was just 24 at this stage🤣
Late bloomer
Masih grogi... Blm lepas.... Masih blm dianggap di masa masa paul Gascoigne
