industrial football wtf. he played for the galacticos. it was prime football marketing before messi and cr7. i remember the tv spots, the huge crowds, movies like goal or bend it like beckham. zidane was part of a huge but cool marketing machine.
If I had to guess, I'd say he is more talking about how the game has progressed tactically where players are more tied to their positions and have less overall freedom for creativity thus becoming more one-dimensional players.
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.
That’s true sometimes but not all the time. Zidane loved to showboat and entertain, especially when he plays in the Bernabeu where the Madrid fans just absolutely loved him and would cheer for every single thing he does. Even in the clips in the video you can see the moments where he does the flashy moves instead of passing to a man running in better position.
Bellingham has scored in half a season half what Zidane has scored in 5 years with real madrid 16 goals during 21 appearances while your maestro Zidane has scored only 37 during 155 appearances lmao Zidane at 18 years old was playing at Cannes, I bet you have never seen a single match of that team... Bellingham at 18... Real Madrid came looking for him
@@ShadowXg0z stats means nothing . zidane didn't try to get into scoring position when his team was leading confortably for exemple . Zidane would not shoot as much as bellingham . Some players score a lot because they shoot a lot but they miss a lot of opportunity for their team by missing plenty of their shots but since they shoot a lot they will have great stats but their teams will score less. peoples really don't think very far
@@ShadowXg0z zidane had more impact offensively than bellingham. You put zidane in a team this team will score more than if you put bellingham in the same team. Zidane didn't try to shot a lot , the stats you need to watch are the goal per shots , because zidane was not aften in scoring position . Some players shot anytime they can but they miss plenty of their shots in order to score their goal so at the end their team will score less because of all the shots they miss but the player will have better stats. stats don't mean everything far from it. zidane would never shot if he knew he would not be sure to score.
Zidane es el mejor jugador que he visto en toda mi vida, cada vez que el balon pasaba por sus pies el juego mejoraba. Sus controles orientados son los mejores de la historia...era un jugador completísimo, visión de juego, disparo, balón parado, regate...impresionante Zizou.
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.
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.
Yeah these clips really show that. I thought that too. The roulette he does, are not normal roulettes. He times it perfectly so that the defender literally cannot see or get to the ball because his body is perfectly in the way at the point in time the defender would tackle him. Unlike many modern players that will do a spin for no reason for example. This is why it looks like he is able to glide past people at a jogging pace, because his timing and IQ is so good
You’re 100% right it’s so natural 1:29 is a perfect example. How he makes a portion almost limp so that the player bounces off of him instead of him tensing up and forcing a sprint
@@thenavigateur8460 Oh was he ? How many goals did Ronaldinho score in World Cup or Champions League finals to decide the matches ? I’m curious son ? 🤣🤡
@@sub-zero7008 Ah I thought playing football was more than just scoring goals? Ronaldinho was a master of passing and assisting, and said himself that that was his game, and at that, he was better than Zidane, and arguably any football player ever
@@thenavigateur8460 okay well you’ve obviously not studied much Zidane then !! 🤣🤣 Go check out the re-run of the 2006 World Cup quarter final and you’ll soon see that Zidane showed the whole Brazilian team who the daddy was when he showed them all up and embarrassed them 🤣🤣 he really showed the world that day who the finest player of that generation was. Ronaldinho had a peak of two years !! His peak lasted two years !! Zidane’s peak lasted about 10 years !! 🤣🤣 Zizou pisses on him and true students of the sport know it, it’s only the fanboys that don’t haha 🤫🤣
Zidane's mesmerizing ball control and unparalleled leadership skills not only define him as a football icon but also captivate audiences worldwide, turning every match into a thrilling spectacle of skill and strategy.
@MrMarolles in 2017 there was an interview with a madrid assistant coach that said zidane would sometimes have to play in practice matches due to injuries or illness and still managed to be the best player on the field. At 45 years old.
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
He made Kane who’s a bully and one of the most physical players in history his bit$h Kane: “Zidane is the nastiest player I played against, you get near him and you catch an elbow without anyone noticing”
Pogba has been the closest player to emulate Zidanes quality, he had the physical attributes and natural talent to do it, but ultimately fell way short
You’re right, Zidane is a big guy, which made his incredible elegance and grace that much more impressive. The man moved like a dancer. Simply the most beautiful footballer of all time.
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 😢
You really dont watch much football. Yes zidane was brillant but the fact you are alive to watch messi, the guy is literally an upgraded version of zidane and hes a forward
@Febo18 what a load of absolute shite you have just spoke lol holy christ lol. you claim to watch alot of football and just said what has messi ever done that doesnt include speed lol. Christ what an contradiction on your side. Literally messi the guy with theeee MOST ASSISTS in history. Yet here zidane does a roulette so hes the best there is. The shite people chat is absurd.
Whats so unbelievable about Zidane is the fact, that he made it without amazing speed; he was pure skill and elegance. As a German I would say that only Beckenbauer comes close to his charisma an flair.
100% agree, the funny thing is that he wasn't even slow, he used to look slow due to his body posture when running that was a little awkward but he actually had good pace
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.
The beauty of Zidane was his rhythm, Imagine players as drummers, everyone else plays to the beat, but Zizou made magic when he accelerated, dummied, fainted, shimmied changed direction or played the pass OFF BEAT. That made him untouchable and why we saw the unexpected, he was a master of movement and it was beautiful to see.
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.
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.
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
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.

How can you even try to compare Bellingham with Zidane or even the Brazilian Ronaldo in their day, Bellingham is good , but the young kid from Spain is also good. Judge them after some more constant years, too early to placing them on pedestals as now in my humble opinion.Again they are good players , I am not saying otherwise. Good luck lads.
Zidane you are pure class and wished you won champions league with the Phenomeno, R9/Ronaldo during the great era of Real Madrid and particularly, when football was the top quality
The dribbling is top tier and all. But you know what I enjoyed the most watching this? To see him getting tackled, even getting fouled and he still continues running and doesn't let him self drop after every contact. That's something rare in today's football and it annoys me SO MUCH
For me, Zidane is the best. His elegance, spatial awareness, toughness, skill and presence were all overwhelming. A superb player that was class personified.
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
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.
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.
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!
His style of play really reminds me of Di Stefano and Puskas. On his day he's as good as the greatest players that have ever played the game at the highest level.
Au delà de sa technique incroyable, Zizou rendait ses coéquipiers bien meilleurs qu ils ne l étaient réellement. Ce joueur été un génie. C est pour ça qu on le regrette encore, même après toutes ces années.
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!
This guy was a terror for the defense in front of him. He could attack at any time without anyone seeing him coming. It was almost impossible to guess his next move.
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
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
On the pitch he looked like the 40 years old father playing with his kids in the backyard. His skills werent as clean like Romaldinhos but he came through with it and his passes all the time🎉
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 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.
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
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
Zidane in 1992 was playing at Cannes, had scored only 6 goals in his career by that time, how can you compare with bellingham who has scored 16 goals as an attacking midfielder only in half a season
@@ShadowXg0z youre right and you seem to be implying Bellingham is levels above Zidane . So let’s see how his achievements compare in 10 years. Time will tell.
Zidane was technicaly up to the others. Confident in himself but physically not always at the top. There is still debate in France to know if he was the best french player or Platini. He's still very popular not only for sport but because he talks fiew and just and for arabian successfull integration example. Some still reproach him his headbutt against italian guy in final wordcup 2006. Some find it makes him more human.
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.
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.
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.
Zidane, Iniesta, Xavi, Modric were all a different gravy. They could be a 6, 7 and 8. But when it comes to pure skill on the ball Zidane and Iniesta where in a different world. They don't make those guys anymore.
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.
so you saying that prime zidane is better than 20y bellingham? no way dude!!! sky is blue, grass is green... idk if u drank but people dont have primes at 20y old most we can do is have bellingham vs zidane at 20 where bellingham is clearly better
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!

thats Zidane for me!
Simply maestro, Idol
Pelé, Maradona, Zidane.
And his final masterpiece against Brazil in 2006 is not even on this video. And this Brazil was something of another world...
If CR7 and Messi say that you are one of the best of all time, it means a lot
His style of play really reminds me of Di Stefano and Puskas. On his day he's as good as the greatest players that have ever played the game at the highest level.
Au delà de sa technique incroyable, Zizou rendait ses coéquipiers bien meilleurs qu ils ne l étaient réellement. Ce joueur été un génie. C est pour ça qu on le regrette encore, même après toutes ces années.
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!
Incroyable ! Zizou ❤
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.
This guy was a terror for the defense in front of him. He could attack at any time without anyone seeing him coming. It was almost impossible to guess his next move.
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
Good video 🎉🎉🎉
Different shots that don't get pushed like the Volley and World Cup goals
10/10 A+
today one guy remembers me zidane playstyle is Kevin de Bruyne, pure class
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
On the pitch he looked like the 40 years old father playing with his kids in the backyard. His skills werent as clean like Romaldinhos but he came through with it and his passes all the time🎉
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.
Maradona is the best ever by a distance.
Maradona was better than both of them put together.
More complete than any other player in the last 30 years. Bellingham could get there; he’s in the right place.
Just effortless...luxury.
Thank you for not ruining the video with obnoxious music.
You welcome 🙏
Zidane elegance is still unmatched you said ! Nobody can or will match Zidane elegance for sure !
The greatest player since Maradona END OF 💯
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.
Bellingham will be better.. where was Zidane at 20, Cannes. lmao, at had scored only 6 goals by then
If Bellingham can take England to two world cup finals, then maybe we can open a discussion
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
32????
He retired when he was 35 right after the 2006 worldcup
Hahahah actually your also wrong. He retired at age 34 🤣🤣
@@rogermoore3991 The 2006 worldcup ended when he was 35, he was born in june it ended in july, still time to delete casual 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ttts3400 hahahah😂😂😂
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.
For me, in terms of pure dribbling magic, Zidane, Ronaldihno, Original Ronaldo, Savicevic, Baggio, Maradonna
Pogba is dissapoint me as a juve fan he can be the next zidane if he more focus on football..
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
ye they're comparing prime zidane to 20y bellingham and saying prime zidane is better XD WELL NO WAY HES BETTER ITS LITERALLY A 20y "KID"
But I get the compariison. Bellingham has this same seemingly slow yet agile way to glide around on the pitch
@@RegularLou only thing we can compare them at 20y and zidane played in 2nd tier of french
@@RegularLou but i defo hope real madrid player ends up with greatness like messi had at barca
Could there be a bigger paradox ever with the sight of neville n Zidane wearing football boots 😂😂
Laisse tomber le meilleur de tous c’est abusé ZZ 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
That is Right, Zidane is unique , his elegance ist out oft his time…
the best player of all the times
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
Zidane in 1992 was playing at Cannes, had scored only 6 goals in his career by that time, how can you compare with bellingham who has scored 16 goals as an attacking midfielder only in half a season
@@ShadowXg0z youre right and you seem to be implying Bellingham is levels above Zidane . So let’s see how his achievements compare in 10 years. Time will tell.
Zidane was technicaly up to the others. Confident in himself but physically not always at the top. There is still debate in France to know if he was the best french player or Platini. He's still very popular not only for sport but because he talks fiew and just and for arabian successfull integration example. Some still reproach him his headbutt against italian guy in final wordcup 2006. Some find it makes him more human.
Zidane the best no one can compare with him
Solo Zidane le pudo dar ese pase de espuela a Gravesen para que este se invente la Gravesinha, absolutamente magico.
The 22 world Cup was laughably Bad that didnt do anything to elevate Messi above Zidane lmao
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.
Zidane is the most elegant player ever( after Dennis Bergkamp of course!!)
started watching Zidane since early 90
He had tons of glue on his shoes😂
purely majestic
Euro 2000. Zidane masterclass
Zidane was great, but Ronaldinho Gaúcho was pure magic
Zizou was better!
Lol Zidane pisses on Gaucho 😂 the World Cup in 2006 proved it 🔥🇫🇷
forget highlight reels & cute dribbles, he DICTATES the game
2:33 when the commentator forgets his job and is just mesmerized by Zidane⚽️
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.
One word : MAGIC !
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.
Totalmente de acuerdo, su control orientado es el mejor de todos los tiempos.
Back when i was a kid, we used to refer to that turn as the zidane turn
Zidane, Iniesta, Xavi, Modric were all a different gravy. They could be a 6, 7 and 8. But when it comes to pure skill on the ball Zidane and Iniesta where in a different world. They don't make those guys anymore.
Dude glides across the field
nobody is comparing bellingham to zidane, so, why would you?
Wow. So smooth
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.
so you saying that prime zidane is better than 20y bellingham? no way dude!!! sky is blue, grass is green... idk if u drank but people dont have primes at 20y old most we can do is have bellingham vs zidane at 20 where bellingham is clearly better
Zidane didn't "keep that up for 20 years" though. He had some awful seasons
@@ChrisTopher-k8e read it correctly i said 10
Lots of clips that i didnt see in other comps🤝
