Zizou was simply a legend as a player but I think we gotta give him legendary status as a coach too. He is not getting the credit he deserves as a manager although he won the UCL three times in a row. I can't any other coach in recent memory who did that. Had it been Mourinho or Pep who won the CL 3x in a row, the world wouldn't let us sleep. Give the man the credit he so deserves. Otumfour Kojo Agyemang
Zidane was a true artist on the pitch, and you're a true artist in making youtube videos... The scripts you write and the images you put together give goosebumps
It was not just his beautiful touch and close ball control, but that he could do it while still having the mental bandwidth to outthink and outsmart opponents that made him so special.
He was my football hero and forever will remain just that. Aside from his touch of angel, as you've rightly said, he was ALWAYS a force on the biggest stage. NEVER you've seen him struggle on those games. Mark of a true legend. Merci Zizou
these were the days that you would watch football and cry. It was simply fantastic. The drama, the underdogs, the stars... the great moments we imagined that never turned out to be. and Zidane, what he did, to all French players, Henry, Vieira, Wiltord, Pires, Trezeguet, Deschamps... if you see, they all played with that same classic style, they were the Michelangelos. And the goal he scored in 2002 vs Leverkusen, we could repeat that 1,000,000 times on that champions league old blurred video at the start of the match they played. And to close it all, after rising to become an angel, he fell down to earth, but that would only become on his last day.
Great vid! My favourite thing about him, was his way to direct play with his passes, he would place the ball where he wanted his team mates to be, often perfectly, such an amazing team player.
Yo i dont want to disturb you as i know you have alot of things to do. But could you maybe do a video about jay jay okocha,too? I feel like Okocha is one of the most overlooked skillfull players in football. Mainly because he didnt play for any big clubs like other football players. Also, jay jay Okocha was the mentor of a young Ronaldinho at psg. He doesnt have great stats, but if you look at the impact he has and the skill that Okocha possess , then im sure everyone can see that he is a great player 🇳🇬🔟⚽️😊😀👍
Zidane is like bob marley.. Greatest people ever in what they r doin... Zidane knew every aspects in football... He's the heart in every team.. If you play Him the game will be easy... Zidane is football
Loved this video!!!! My all time favourite player, remember THAT goal for Bordeaux that consequently got him to juventus this is a great look back at just how good he was!
Et se match mythique ou ils renversent le match retour après avoir perdu 2-0 le match aller pour se qualifier contre le grand Milan AC sur le score de 3-0 a bordeaux. J'y étais et dans reparler me donne encore des frissons.
If you're going to go out in a shitstorm of controversy, then a bad ass head butt against the Italians is the way to go. Respect, even if it was stupid. And he's said that his best performance ever was in the Euro 2000 semifinal against Figo's great Portugal side. I remember that game well. Broke my heart. Zidane is legend, no doubt about that.
The Master of Fantasy football, n the Wizzard of Ozz of EUROPE,..n the Emperor of the Rullet skill trick...the Brazilian sleeper of 1998 worldcup..A LEGEND n a true GALACTIC MAESTRO Among all greatest...nuff said.👊💙
Arguably best European player ever, only Cruyff can pip Zizou for that position. I’d say definitely best European #10 midfielder & one of the best players ever in the history of the game. Simple
This man indeed was an artist + many other traits, dribbler passer vision goal defense fk, tricks, composure, elegance, for me his strongest trait was his character and personality. In the art aspect (art of ball control and touch), there have been players who i think were superior to him that world forgets them. Roberto Baggio and Bergkamp.
I have no doubt Zidane would've won a second world cup trophy with France if not for that unfortunate head butt. However,he remains among the best and greatest footballer of all times.
My friend, i love zizou and i admire MUCH MORE his style and touch of the ball than messi and Ronaldo, but these 2 are far ahead him. Messo and Crisitano scored, assisted so many goals, got so many trophies, it's just ridiculous. Once again, i prefer zizou's style personnaly, but i try to stay objective and honnest even with my favorite player, that's why i say that NO ONE Has dominated so long without any possible comparaison football than these two players. You talk with you heart, i understand, but Zizou isn't the best football player ever, even if he would had won a second world cup to be fair.
mdrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ok i ll check out all the titles and records of both overhyped messi and ronaldo who have just scored golas vs Levante and Tenerife, and i'm gone cry for sure. Once again i prefer Zidane's style 100000000000000000 times, but i don't lie to myself, that's all ;) Just an advise, you shouldn't try to talk about a player ( zidane ) with a person like me who know almost eventhing about his career ;) Cheers :)
Yo bro! Could you do a how good is neymar video? Or neymars career so far. I have asked raymar football some times about making a vid on neymar. But i can understand if we can't answer me. Because he is so popular. I hope maybe you can do a video on neymar because i feel he gets overlooked by the world of football. I think there are two sides to it, but i still feel like the stats favour neymar as the 3rd best player in the world, on his best. By the way, did you know that neymar is one of only four players to be nominated to the ballon dor multiple times, outside messi and cristiano ronaldo . The others? Well, "only" xavi,iniesta and antoine griezmann. I was wondering if you could highlight some stats that people dont know about neymar. 😀⚽️🤩 but if you can't do a video on neymar, i can fully understand that .By the way , i subscribed and liked this video. If you can't answer then thats okay, just feel like someone needs to put some respect on neymars name.
@@footballista2480 thank you for answering. And i am definitely looking forward to the other ideas and videos that your subscribers have 🤩By the way,, do you think neymar can win champions league this year with psg? 😎🤩
As good as Zidane is Pele did all this in the 50s 60s and 70s the way how controls the ball Pele did the same. If you watch Pele did it 50 years ago part 1 one and 2 on RUclips the zidane part he did every move Zidane does. I am just glad footage of Pele is now on RUclips but i must say Zidane was graceful like Pele was like a ballerina...like Jordon flying through the air
@@IPGlow Pele invented everything bar diving, watch those video' I said and see what with the ball 50 years before Messi he is Michael Jordan of football
He was a great player! But he is never the greatest ever. I put maradona above pele and always have did since i watched maradona win the world cup in 1986 almost on his own. I thought at the time this guy is the greatest player there will ever be. How can any one be better than maradona. Hes walking about the park doing flicks and back heels as if he was out for a walk. Not even pele could control or win a world cup the way maradona did, no chance.
His Brazil performance is seriously overrated, it's not one of the best performances ever... not even his best performance ever. I don't think his header against Italy is often forgotten, Buffon saving it and then lifting the trophy is an iconic world cup moment
Zidane was a great player. However, I feel he's slightly overrated because he played nearer the coming of the internet & the youtube generation of today. As European players go from watching football for over the last thirty years. From the great European players, I've seen at that time. I would definitely put Best, Beckenbauer, Cruyff, Laudrup over Zidane, with Cruyff the best European player I've *_ever_* seen.
Vincent Berthoud I grew up in the 1970s watching Georgie Best & Johan Cruyff. Post those two players era's. The only European player I've seen that had their unbelievable tight ball control, to ride with the ball over numerous challenges, doing quick pivot dribbles to leave a sackful of defenders in the wake, balanced of with, quick both feet coordinations, is Michael Laudrup. I wouldn't even consider Zidane or Cristiano Ronaldo in that equation. If Laudrup at national team level, had the kind of players Zidane had around him with France. He'd have gone down as the premier European player since Cruyff. He's was voted in Spain, as the best foreign player to play in that country Anyway, here's a link of the ball wizard, for you to see where am coming from. ruclips.net/video/lsqm3XmJ1d4/видео.html
benvolio mozart No chance! I saw both, during their *_actual_* playing careers & Cruyff was different gravy. He was faster. Dribbled better. Venturing on, long, surging, slalom dribbles & not just doing, pretty little girlie pirouette's , in a round spot, like Zidane. Had better both feet coordinations . Superior passer of the ball, using the outside of the boot off either feet! His passes came in @ bizarre geometrical angles. Bent, dipped & swerved in. Better tackler & better defensive qualities. Cruyff is right up there, with the best players of all time. Pelé, Di Stéfano, Messi, Maradona. I'd put Zidane a tad below them lot. Anyway.

Zidane = Winning. Dude is a winning machine and a craftsman
This guy showed up in so many big moments that we remember, and he was a midfielder!! Insane.
No doubt. Big match player
Dude before this crappy stats era a lot of greats were midfielders

He is not getting the credit he deserves as a manager although he won the UCL three times in a row. I can't any other coach in recent memory who did that.

You got it right, he was The Professor

Ok. So the follow up question: what's your top 5 in order?
A great video

Definitely, he was absolute class
Its the goat for me .
Fantastic video.
Thank you very much! Stay tuned for more to come!
1:55 you did this man dirty 😂 but he was so great that Kylian Mbappe as a kid once asked his barber to give him a Zidane cut
That’s why mbappe is so good
ZZ was more of an assister than a goal scorer, but when he did score, they were spectacular.💙⚽🎖️🏆
You should also make videos on older legends like di Stefano, puskas, Pele, Eusebio, George Best, Cruyff, beckenbauer, etc
Definitely got a lot of older legends on our list. We got a lot of ideas coming up we will get to so stay tuned!
wow
great work!
GOAT

Honestly I'm just enjoying this guy before he gains his 1 million subs.

Do greatest players list can u be the best ever without a World Cup??
That’s a good idea. And yes I think you can be the best without a World Cup
Footballista24 thank u I agree as well
@@footballista2480 no you can't
You don't win world Cup by yourself, need a team that works together to win any team game. Grizman won the world Cup so is he on the Greatest list?
Zizou the best of the best
He was a legend.
My favorite Player,
Arguably best European player ever, only Cruyff can pip Zizou for that position. I’d say definitely best European #10 midfielder & one of the best players ever in the history of the game. Simple
No doubt. One of the best players ever. Such a joy to watch
Footballista24 one of a kind my friend. I’d suggest Juan Román Riquelme your next clip as he’s the closest to Zizou’s slow style & movements
As 10 goes dont forget the maestro Rui Costa. If we are talking about European 10s. Deco as well.
You can't experpetly craft a master piece ....a master piece is a 1 time piece
Will there ever be another Zizou?
Can’t see it happening man
This man indeed was an artist + many other traits, dribbler passer vision goal defense fk, tricks, composure, elegance, for me his strongest trait was his character and personality.
In the art aspect (art of ball control and touch), there have been players who i think were superior to him that world forgets them. Roberto Baggio and Bergkamp.
Commentator begging a player not to retire. 😳 Zidane is definitely one of the greatest
I have no doubt Zidane would've won a second world cup trophy with France if not for that unfortunate head butt. However,he remains among the best and greatest footballer of all times.

They aren't anyway. Imagine a 1 on 1 game Zidane vs either of them ?? They both loose.
How I wish I could go back to 1996
There isn't a team in world football right now that he wouldn't get right into the first xi.
No the Commentary is mad saying that he won one Champions league coz he was Already won it with Juventus in 1996 UEFA champions league final 🤔🤔👌🖖✊✊
He wasn't yet part of the team! He came in after the Euro 1996. The Juve title was 1995-1996, he began for the season 1996-1997.
